Tes is an international provider of software-enabled services passionate about using technology to make life easier for schools and teachers. All products and services are built with teachers and schools needs at the core, ensuring they are innovative, trusted education solutions. 

 

Role overview:

We are looking for a proactive and customer-focused Product Manager to take full ownership of one or more products or product areas within our fast-evolving SaaS platform. Reporting to the Product Director, you’ll be responsible for driving both customer and business value through thoughtful prioritisation, fast iteration, and coordinated execution.

This is more than a traditional product development role. You’ll identify and prioritise the right problems to solve, lead discovery and delivery, and collaborate cross-functionally to drive product performance across the business.

You’ll be joining at a pivotal time of transformation for our product team and the wider business, creating a unique opportunity to help shape the future of the company and the EdTech market.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Take end-to-end ownership of a product or product area, accountable for performance and impact.
• Lead product discovery to deeply understand user needs, business goals, and market dynamics.
• Prioritise initiatives that maximise value, balancing short-term gains with long-term growth.
• Work in an agile, iterative way—validating quickly, shipping value early, and learning fast.
• Coordinate cross-functional initiatives across product, marketing, operations, and customer success—not just engineering and design.
• Support go-to-market and post-launch activities to ensure that intended value is realised.
• Use data and feedback loops to track performance, inform decisions, and iterate effectively.
• Contribute to evolving our product practices as part of a growing, learning-oriented team.

Skills

• Strong communicator and collaborator with a customer-first mindset.
• Data-informed decision-making skills with a focus on driving measurable outcomes.
• Comfortable working across diverse initiative types—technical, commercial, and operational.

Qualifications

• Highly Desirable: Certified Product Owner or Certified Product Manager accreditation.
• Desirable: Any qualifications/accreditations in SAFe or other similar scaled agile framework. 
• Desirable: Has completed training courses in User Centred Design
• Desirable: Any qualifications/training in Product Analytics and Business Intelligence tools.
