Tes is an international provider of software-enabled services passionate about using technology to make life easier for schools and teachers. All products and services are built with teachers and schools needs at the core, ensuring they are innovative, trusted education solutions.

Role overview:

We are seeking an experienced and strategic Senior Product Manager to lead one or more of our core SaaS products or product lines. In this role, you'll take full accountability for your product's performance, direction, and long-term success--not just through feature development, but through any initiative that delivers measurable value to customers and the business.



You'll be expected to lead structured discovery, define high-impact opportunities, and align cross-functional stakeholders. Just as critically, you'll be responsible for closing the loop on value realisation--ensuring initiatives deliver intended outcomes, and adjusting course based on results and insights.

You'll thrive here if you combine a strong strategic mindset with the ability to execute in agile, iterative ways. Our product team and wider business are undergoing significant transformation, and this role is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of the company and make a real impact in the EdTech market.

Key Responsibilities:

Own the vision, customer value proposition, roadmap, and performance of your product(s), with clear accountability for outcomes. Drive structured discovery to identify and validate the most impactful opportunities. Be data- and outcome-driven in defining and prioritising initiatives--not just features, but also pricing strategies, onboarding improvements, messaging, or operational enhancements. Coordinate and lead cross-functional initiatives involving teams across product, marketing, commercial, operations, and customer success. Drive fast learning cycles and value realisation through agile iteration and continuous feedback loops. Monitor performance and close the loop: track outcomes, learn from what works and what doesn't, and refine your approach accordingly. Communicate vision, priorities, and progress clearly to a wide range of stakeholders. Mentor other product managers and help shape a high-performing, outcome-driven product organisation.

What You Need to Succeed

Experience

Skills
