GitHub Education launched in 2012 with the mission of empowering student developers. Eight years later, the program has enabled more than 4 million students to learn to code with real-world tools. The team has grown to accommodate the needs of university students, bootcamp learners, schools, and teachers at all levels.

One of our signature products, GitHub Classroom, helps teachers implement real-world workflows in their courses. Around 150K teachers have used Classroom to manage their assignments, distribute starter code, use auto-grading and monitor student progress. 

We seek a Product Manager to own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for GitHub Classroom. This role will split their time working internally with an engineering team and product designer, and externally with educators. This role is vital to the long-term success of GitHub Education, and will report to the Director of Product. 

On a day-to-day basis, you will:

  • As product owner of Classroom, define the vision, identify requirements, write user stories, define measurable goals and communicate priorities to the engineering team.
  • Make data driven decisions for the product. 
  • Perform user study and validate features via user testing with teachers and students.
  • Translate feedback into actionable next steps for the product. 
  • Promote Classroom through blog posts, conference appearances, and webinars.
  • Update the Classroom roadmap with the latest information and expected ship dates.
  • Maintain documentation for the core product and related tooling.
  • Collaborate with potential partners in the learn-to-code ecosystem to identify and implement complementary features into the product.
  • Travel (when again feasible) to support the adoption of GitHub Classroom, and research potential new features (~10 - 25%).
  • Manage product interns and liaise with contractors as needed.
  • Collaborate with potential partners in the learn-to-code ecosystem to identify and implement complementary features into the product.

You should have:

  • Product management know-how: you’ve owned the roadmap for a product, prioritized feature requests, and contributed directly to the growth of the product (bonus points if the product was developer-focused).
  • Strong technical writing ability: you have a portfolio of clear, concise, and relatable documentation.
  • Domain knowledge: you have in-depth knowledge of the educational technology landscape, and the related tools in the ecosystem. 
  • Excellent communication skills: whether it’s a conference talk or an email, you can craft a message that sticks.
  • Technical skills: proficiency in HTML, CSS, Javascript, Ruby (preferred). 
  • A passion for Education: you want to serve the next generation of developers, and help them make their best work.
  • Significant experience with Git & GitHub.
  • Experience using web services APIs.

Bonus Points If:

  • You have past experience as the maintainer of an open source project.
  • You have a well-established online presence (GitHub, blog, social media).
  • You have worked asynchronously with distributed team members.
  • You have past experience with Ruby templating.
  • You have advanced knowledge of Git.

(Colorado only*) Minimum salary of $75,000 to maximum $122,400+ bonus + equity + benefits.
· Note: Disclosure as required by sb19-085 (8-5-20) of the minimum salary compensation for this role when being hired in Colorado.
