Product Manager
About Panorama:
Panorama is a fast-growing national technology company focused on radically improving education. More than 1,500 school systems serving 13 million students across all 50 states have adopted our platform to understand students’ academic and social-emotional strengths and to identify those in need of additional support. School systems turn to our suite of tools to ensure that every child gets the support they need, including school climate and social-emotional learning surveys, tiered intervention planning, and professional development.
Panoramians can choose to work fully remote, in-person from our Boston/San Francisco offices, or a hybrid option.
About the Role:
As a Product Manager, you will be involved in every aspect of the product discovery and development process. We have different openings including:
- An SEL Product Manager will support our flagship Social-Emotional Learning product. As experts in social-emotional learning and early-to-market providers of measurement and reporting, we believe that social-emotional learning is central to the mission of education, and a lever for greater educational equity. Panorama is continually growing and innovating our SEL product, even as we improve its existing components. As one of two SEL-focused squad leaders, you will contribute to new directions and innovative
ideas even as you attend to the beloved areas of our existing SEL product.
- A Reporting-Transformation Product Manager will spend time helping us shift how and where stakeholder survey and social-emotional learning data are reported in our platform. As we transition from one platform to another, we have the opportunity to sunset less valuable features and add in new ones to deliver a more valuable user experience. We have the ability to learn from challenges arising from previous constraints, and figure out ways around those. You will work collaboratively within and across squads, playing a key role in helping shape the future of our reporting platform.
In either role, you will work with a team to innovate, test, and deliver valuable new features and other improvements. You will become an expert in K–12 education and the needs of our school, district, and state partners. You will identify the most important problems to solve and deliver creative solutions to support students and drive improved and more equitable outcomes.
Responsibilities:
- Devise the roadmap for a key product area, aligning it to Panorama’s company and overall product strategy, and collaborating with designers, researchers, and engineers to identify opportunities to provide value to school and district users of our products
Ensure high-quality execution of the roadmap through collaboration with other development team members including engineers and designers
Learn from teachers, principals, and district leaders across the country. Define the problem through understanding and influence, strategies that validate our solutions to help improve student outcomes and provide value to educators
Drive towards meaningful client and business outcomes by setting and achieving goals with your team

Work closely with sales, account management, marketing, and client success to gather insights about clients and the market and to collaborate on product messaging and value
Our Ideal Candidate Has:
2+ years of product management, strategy consulting, business analyst or product delivery experience
