About PeopleGrove PeopleGrove builds software that helps higher education institutions support students and graduates at every stage of their journey — from experiential learning to career outcomes. Our CORE platform powers critical workflows for nursing programs, educator preparation, counseling, and social work — helping institutions meet accreditation requirements, track student competency, and demonstrate program impact. The Role We're looking for a Lead Product Manager to own and drive product strategy across PeopleGrove's CORE platform — a suite of products that includes ELMS (experiential learning management for Nursing and Education), CompMS (competency management), MyCred (digital credentials), and more. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of complex domain expertise, accreditation compliance, and modern product thinking. You'll work closely with engineering, design, customer success, and senior stakeholders to define what gets built, why, and when — and you'll be the connective tissue between user needs and scalable product decisions. What You'll Do • Own the roadmap for one or more CORE product lines, balancing customer commitments, strategic opportunities, and technical capacity • Define and prioritize epics and features using clear, well-scoped requirements grounded in user research and business outcomes • Partner with engineering and design to ship high-quality product efficiently — from discovery through delivery • Build deep domain expertise in clinical education, accreditation frameworks (ACEN, CCNE, CAEP, CACREP, CSWE), and the operational workflows of program coordinators, clinical faculty, and students • Serve as a key voice in go-to-market readiness — working with CS and marketing on positioning, release communications, and client onboarding • Collaborate with the VP of Product on annual and quarterly planning, contributing to roadmap strategy and resource prioritization What We're Looking For • 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years owning a complex B2B SaaS product • Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and drive clarity — you can move from messy problem space to crisp requirements • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; you know how to influence without authority and build trust with engineers, designers, and go-to-market teams • Experience with higher education, healthcare, compliance-driven software, or other regulated domains is a meaningful plus • Comfort working in a distributed, async-first environment with a globally distributed team • Curiosity, rigor, and a bias toward outcomes over output Nice to Have • Familiarity with clinical placement, competency-based education, or accreditation reporting workflows • Experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, Mixpanel, or similar product ops tooling • Prior experience at a growth-stage edtech or vertical SaaS company Why PeopleGrove • Mission-driven work with real impact on student and faculty outcomes • Small, senior team — your work shapes the product meaningfully • Fully remote with a collaborative, low-ego culture • Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
