Senior Product Manager (Student Safety)

Do you want to work hard alongside smart and talented product managers, engineers, and designers every day? Do you excel when you are smack in the middle of a challenging project, thrive when things get complex, and yawn when you don’t have a hard problem to solve? Do you take pride in your ability to create products that deliver real customer value? Do you have a way of seeing problems in a way that others don’t?   If yes, then join our team as we build awesome software for schools. Our team is the perfect blend of the stability of a larger company with the agility and speed of a startup.   At Lightspeed Systems® we are on a mission to power exceptional schools where students are safe and engaged. We give school staff, students, and parents the tools to ensure that devices are used for their intended purpose — to educate.  Our Senior Product Managers are responsible for driving product initiatives from inception through execution. Working with your lean product and agile development toolkit, you’ll work with stakeholders and customers to define product strategy, create roadmaps, and then work with the development team to iteratively build and launch features and products.   You must possess a unique blend of business and technical sophistication; a big-picture vision, and the drive to make that vision a reality. You must enjoy spending time understanding the industry, the market, and to empathize with the customers and their problems, and then relish the ability to translate opportunities into working software.   We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to work on Lightspeed’s Safety products. These products help to monitor the well-being of students and to provide alerts for school staff to follow up on any concerning behavior.   NOTE: This is a hybrid position, and several days each week will be required onsite at our Austin, Texas headquarters, located near Dripping Springs.
