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 work in schools where being challenged doesn’t mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day. Our School Management Tools are already making a difference in over 9,000 schools and trusts. Giving time and power back to staff, turning data into clear, actionable insights, and supporting happier working days. 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 everyday: the staff. We want to make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.

About the role Arbor MIS is a product that helps over 9000 schools across the UK to manage everything from attendance and assessment, to clubs and trips and timetabling. We’re looking to expand the capabilities that we offer, and build new modules that support the day to day working of schools, and that interlink with the current functionality that Arbor offers. We are looking for a data driven and detail oriented Product Manager to join our Arbor MIS product team. This role will own the discovery and delivery of a new module that sits within our core MIS, and go onto support our core MIS functionality more broadly. You will also build a deep understanding of user needs and the market landscape. This role will have responsibility for positioning and launching the new product.
