Senior Product Manager

About us At Arbor, we're on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better. We believe in a future of working in schools where being challenged doesn't mean being overworked. A future where data steers progress, without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded of what inspired them to get into education in the first place, every day. Our School Management Tools are already making a difference in over 10,000 schools. Giving time and power back to staff; turning data into clear, actionable insights; and supporting happier workdays for over 350,000 hardworking people. At the heart of our brand is a recognition that the challenges schools face today aren't just about efficiency, outputs and productivity - but about creating happier working lives for the people who drive education every day: the staff. We want to make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.

The role Arbor MIS helps over 10,000 schools across the UK to manage everything from attendance and assessment, to clubs and trips and timetabling.
