Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Communications Architecture & Organizational Rhythm
  • Design and own the communications architecture across the Product team (~400 people) — from CPO leadership touchpoints to multi-day offsites, Product Town Halls, Product QBRs, and planned moments of cross-functional alignment. You think about how Slack communication flows through the Product team and other key channels, and how to improve day-to-day communication practices that elevate work and clarify both decisions and progress. You are not simply scheduling meetings; you are engineering the information flow of the organization.
  • Shape the leadership cadence: Ensure the CPO’s leadership team is spending its time on the thorniest, highest-leverage problems. Design leadership team agendas that drive strategic debate and real decision-making, not status reporting.
  • Reimagine how we convene: Rethink Product town halls, Product all-hands, and QBRs to be authentic, engaging, and aligned to the narratives that matter. Establish planned moments of communication — both internal and with partner functions like Sales, Marketing & Public Affairs, and Customer Experience — that build transparency and confidence in the product planning and execution model.
  • Facilitate quarterly ceremonies and cross-functional touchpoints that surface dependencies, progress, and trade-offs across suites and shared services.
  • Manage and develop a junior team member who supports deck development, research, and communications execution. You set clear priorities, coach in real time on the work itself, and create stretch opportunities that grow their capabilities and extend the reach of the function.
  • Strategic Leverage & Executive Voice
  • Executive communications: Draft internal memos, leadership-facing decks, and department-wide communications that ensure a consistent, motivating narrative from Product leadership.
  • Narrative synthesis: Translate complex product, operational, and pedagogical updates into clear, high-level executive summaries for company leadership and cross-functional partners. Establish and communicate the narratives that align product development with broader company objectives, with a focus on operational excellence in delivery.
  • Information cascading: Ensure strategic decisions from leadership flow to teams without losing context, and that ground-level insights flow up to inform strategy. You act as the connective tissue between the top of the house and the people doing the work.

Requirements

  • 8–10+ years of experience in a high-growth environment plus 5 years of increasing managerial experience (Strategy, Operations, Chief of Staff, Program Management, or Management Consulting), ideally in technology, education, media, or another content-driven business.
  • Proven experience designing organizational operating rhythms — you have built the meeting cadences, planning cycles, and communication architectures that keep complex organizations aligned.
  • Exceptional deck and narrative skills: You are the person leaders turn to when the story needs to land. You can build a board deck, an all-hands presentation, or a strategic memo with equal fluency.
  • Experience operating in a matrixed, cross-functional environment where influence without authority is the primary leadership currency.
  • People management experience: demonstrated ability to directly manage and develop a team member, with a track record of coaching early-career talent and accelerating their growth.
  • K–12 or education context preferred — familiarity with curriculum development, the school adoption cycle, or the general complexity of the American education system is a meaningful advantage.
  • Educational foundation: Undergraduate degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
