At General Assembly, PMs have the unique opportunity to directly impact people's careers and lives through educational products. Our PMs must blend technological innovation with pedagogical best practices, requiring a deep understanding of both product development and adult learning principles.

While prior edtech experience is valuable, it's not mandatory. We value candidates who demonstrate a passion for education, a user-centric approach to product development, and the ability to quickly learn and adapt to the nuances of the education sector.

Projects could range from developing new immersive bootcamp curricula to creating AI-powered personalized learning tools, or even launching global online learning platforms. You might also work on improving existing products by incorporating emerging technologies or enhancing user engagement strategies.

We maintain close relationships with industry partners to stay ahead of skill demands. Our PMs are expected to continuously analyze market trends, emerging technologies, and employment data to ensure our products prepare learners for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

We offer clear paths for advancement within the product organization, from APM to VP levels. Additionally, PMs often have opportunities to specialize in areas like data science education, UX design curricula, or enterprise learning solutions, allowing for both vertical and horizontal career growth.
