Our Market Position

Eureka Math™ and its sister products, Wit & Wisdom® and PhD Science™, embrace much higher expectations for all students and all teachers. In a market dominated by scripted, procedural materials that drive expectations down, Great Minds produces curricula that celebrate knowledge, respect the craft of teaching, and acknowledge the true capabilities of students.

Role Overview

Great Minds is seeking a Senior Product Manager responsible for interacting with external customers, partners, and internal stakeholders across the organization to ensure teams work on the right products, include the highest value scenarios, and deliver these solutions to meet the market need.

Most importantly, Senior Product Managers are the voice of the customer and bring a combination of qualitative and quantitative data sets to support prioritization between and within product development.
