Senior Product Manager, New Markets Remote RoleProduct /Full Time (Remote) /Remote APPLY FOR THIS JOB About PeopleGrove PeopleGrove is a rapidly growing SaaS company delivering workflow and engagement tools to higher education institutions. We support mission-critical programs including alumni relations management and clinical experiential learning. Our mission is to help institutions strengthen outcomes for alumni and students by streamlining workflows, increasing engagement, and enabling scalable program growth. We’re deeply product-led in how we work, prioritizing cross-functional collaboration, continuous validation, and building products that solve real problems. Our teams are distributed across the United States and India, and we move quickly with high ownership and low bureaucracy. About the Role We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to identify, validate, and unlock new growth opportunities for PeopleGrove. This role is ideal for a PM who thrives in ambiguity, operates with significant independence, understands emerging markets, clarifies unmet needs, and defines the strategic priorities and decisions that ensure growth paths are focused, defensible, and aligned with company objectives. You’ll focus on expansion into new segments and use cases, as well as growth levers such as onboarding, activation, adoption, retention, and monetization. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Design, Data, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success—but you’ll also be expected to drive your work forward without needing constant direction. This role is not just “own a roadmap.” It’s: Explore the market → prove the wedge → ship the product → drive measurable growth. What You’ll Own New market discovery: Identify new segments, emerging institutional needs, and adjacent product opportunities (e.g., new program types, new buyer personas, new workflows).  Validation and business case building: Translate problems into opportunities, run research and validation (interviews, surveys, pricing tests, prototypes, competitive analysis) to determine where PeopleGrove can win.  Partnership and platform strategy: Evaluate build vs. buy vs. partner opportunities and structure integrations that unlock scalable growth.  Growth strategy and execution: Build and ship product improvements that measurably improve adoption, retention, conversion, or expansion.  Experimentation and metrics: Define success metrics and run experiments (A/B tests where applicable, but also iterative launches and controlled rollouts).  Go-to-market alignment: Partner with Sales, Marketing, and CS to ensure product direction aligns with real market signals and can be sold and implemented successfully.  Roadmap and prioritization: Build a roadmap for growth/new market initiatives, ruthlessly prioritizing based on impact, feasibility, and learning velocity.  End-to-end delivery: Work hands-on with Engineering and Design from concept → spec → build → launch → iteration.  Executive storytelling: Communicate clearly and persuasively—bringing leadership along with evidence, tradeoffs, and a crisp narrative.  Key Responsibilities Become an expert in the needs, workflows, and constraints of emerging customer segments.  Identify high-potential growth opportunities across acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization.  Build strong product hypotheses and validate them with customer insight + data.  Define and track KPIs (e.g., activation, time-to-value, adoption, retention, expansion, conversion).  Develop a roadmap that balances short-term wins with long-term strategic bets.  Ship meaningful product improvements and new capabilities with high velocity.  Create alignment across stakeholders while maintaining strong product judgment and independence.  Partner with Engineering and Design to ensure solutions are high quality, usable, and scalable.  What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months) You’ve validated the needs of 1–2 strong emerging-markets with clear user pain + buyer valu ...
