Head of Product & Education Innovation — Education360, New York, NY

We’re Building What’s Next in Education. We Need Someone Who Can Lead It.

Education360, an education technology initiative by XDuce, is bringing together data, AI, and human-centered design to help school districts make better decisions, empower educators, and improve student outcomes.

We’re looking for an exceptional Head of Product & Education Innovation who can take ownership of our product vision and turn ambitious ideas into experiences that educators and school districts genuinely value.

This isn’t a traditional product management role. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial leader who can think strategically, challenge assumptions, work directly with education stakeholders, and drive product development from concept to launch.

What You’ll Own

• Product Strategy & Roadmap: Translate our long-term vision into clear priorities, product capabilities, and measurable outcomes.

• Product Discovery & Innovation: Engage directly with superintendents, school administrators, educators, and technology leaders to uncover challenges and opportunities.

• End-to-End Product Development: Lead the journey from research and ideation through UX design, prototyping, engineering, testing, and deployment.

• AI & Data Innovation: Identify meaningful opportunities to use AI, analytics, and connected data to solve real educational challenges.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Work closely with UX, engineering, data, and AI teams to maintain quality, momentum, and accountability.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Independently facilitate workshops, present product concepts, gather feedback, and build trusted relationships with education leaders.

• Product Adoption & Impact: Define success through user experience, adoption, measurable value, and continuous improvement.

Who We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in product management, product innovation, or digital product leadership.

• Demonstrated success taking complex software products from concept to market.

• Strong understanding of SaaS platforms, UX, data-driven products, and AI-enabled experiences.

• Experience in EdTech, K–12 education, or enterprise platforms is highly desirable.

• Ability to work independently, make decisions, and lead cross-functional teams.

• Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders.

• A strong entrepreneurial mindset with equal enthusiasm for strategy and hands-on execution.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

You’ll have the opportunity to shape a growing education technology platform, collaborate directly with education leaders, and influence how emerging technologies translate into meaningful classroom and district experiences.

We’re looking for someone who wants to build a product, not simply manage one.

Someone who can move comfortably between a superintendent’s office, a product strategy session, a UX prototype, and an engineering sprint.

Most importantly, someone who can take ownership, move ideas forward, and turn a vision into reality.

If you believe the future of education should be shaped by people who understand both technology and the human side of learning, we’d like to hear from you.
