Responsibilities
- Own the DCC product backlog. You prioritize, sequence, and make the final call on what ships, when, and why
- Scope new and updated features on DCC, including available customization options and internal tools to help us manage customer tenants
- Define acceptance criteria, launch readiness, and success metrics for every feature you ship
- Make design and UX calls together with the designer and engineering team. Design is a joint craft on this team, not a hand-off
- Triage bugs and decide what gets fixed now versus later
- Line up the engineering, design, and data dependencies needed to deliver
- Communicate DCC roadmap status and feature updates to internal stakeholders on a regular cadence
- Keep DCC features accessibility-compliant and the feature inventory current as new work ships
- Run discovery and research ahead of new features, including AI-assisted prototyping and mockups to gather customer feedback before engineering investment
- Partner with Partner Success to get customer-facing documentation in place for every release
- Contribute to the broader DCC roadmap and engineering capacity planning. You have meaningful input here, though the final call sits with product leadership
Skills
- 3–5 years of product management experience on customer-facing SaaS products, ideally in agile environments
- Demonstrated fluency with AI tools in your day-to-day work. You already use Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar tools to move faster and think better, and you're excited about building AI-native product workflows inside a product org
- Experience owning a product surface end-to-end: discovery, scoping, launch, measurement, iteration
- Comfort making trade-off decisions with incomplete information and communicating the rationale clearly
- Strong collaboration skills with designers and engineers. You treat design and UX as a joint craft
- Clear written communicator, comfortable moving between customer-facing documentation, internal roadmap updates, and executive-level summaries
- Self-directed, adaptable, and able to manage competing priorities independently
- Grounded and customer-obsessed. You build trust quickly and move work forward without drama
- Collaborative and open to feedback. You take input well, hold your ideas loosely, and are comfortable being wrong sometimes
- Experience building student-facing, consumer, or education products
- Background in accessibility (WCAG) compliance and inclusive design practices
- Experience with multi-tenant SaaS products
- Hands-on experience prototyping with AI: shipping LLM-powered features, or running AI-assisted research and discovery loops
