Senior / Principal Product Manager - Progress

We need an expert in managing complex technical products while seamlessly collaborating across engineering, design, and university partners. You'll be responsible for the core aspects of Stellic's platform : enabling universities to define program requirements (e.g., BS Computer Science) and evaluating student progress against them. Everything in Stellic builds off of an accurate representation of a student's progress. As a result, this role comes with a strong sense of responsibility and impact.
