Lead Specialist, Product Management

About Pearson

At Pearson, we help people realize the life they imagine through learning. We are the world's lifelong learning company, serving millions of learners and educators around the globe, and we build the digital products that make that learning possible.

The team

Study Prep sits at the heart of Pearson's Higher Education division. We help college students succeed in their toughest courses, from general chemistry to calculus to anatomy and physiology, with expert-taught video lessons, exam-style practice, and AI-powered study tools. You will join a focused product and engineering team spanning the United States and Haifa, Israel, shipping experiences that students rely on every week of the semester.

The role

As Product Manager for Study Prep core features, you will own the experiences students use every day: practice, video learning, search and navigation, and the study tools that carry them from first lecture to final exam. You will define the vision and roadmap for your area, decide what we build and why, and work side by side with engineering, design, content, and data to ship it. You will take on complex problems independently, play a strategic role in shaping product direction, and mentor junior product colleagues. You will lead through expertise and influence rather than formal people management.

What you'll do

• Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for core Study Prep features, and connect every initiative to clear learner and business outcomes

• Drive the full product lifecycle: discovery, requirements, prioritization, delivery, launch, and iteration

• Work daily with engineers and designers to make smart scope and architecture tradeoffs, keeping quality high while moving quickly

• Analyze product data to understand how students actually study, then run experiments that improve engagement, retention, and learning outcomes

• Pair quantitative analysis with student interviews and usability research so decisions rest on evidence, not opinion
