What are we looking for

An experienced product manager who is driven to take our prediction model to the next level. Your passion for AI and ML will mean that you are driven to transform the student journey with your innovative approach.

What you’ll be doing

You will lead the development of machine learning models that forecast a student’s suitability and likelihood to enrol in a specific study program. You will also drive the creation of intelligent recommendation engines that suggest the next best action to support and encourage each student’s journey — whether it’s a personalised email, a tailored message, or a human follow-up — generated dynamically using Generative AI.

You will work closely with data scientists, machine learning engineers, and operational teams to build, launch, and optimise these models and systems, making them a core part of how we support students globally.

What are you responsible for

• Define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for predictive models and AI-driven engagement tools.
• Work with data teams to design models that predict student-program fit and likelihood of enrolment, using demographic data and behavioural activity across our platforms.
• Lead the development of recommendation engines that suggest personalised next actions, leveraging Generative AI for communication outputs.
• Partner with engineering and operations teams to integrate models into workflows and ensure seamless operationalisation.
• Establish clear KPIs to measure model accuracy, engagement impact, and enrolment outcomes, and continuously drive improvements.
• Ensure all AI-driven activities are compliant with data privacy and ethical standards.
• Translate complex machine learning concepts into actionable features and tools for business users.
• Regularly collaborate with marketing, enrolment, and student advisory teams to align AI-driven actions with real-world student needs.

What you’ll have

• 5+ years of product management experience, including at least 2 years working directly with machine learning or predictive analytics products.
• Strong understanding of predictive modelling, recommendation systems, and Generative AI applications.
• Experience operationalising machine learning products into customer-facing workflows.
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally with data science, engineering, and business operations teams.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• A passion for using AI to meaningfully improve the student decision-making journey.

What is nice to have

• Experience in education technology, marketing automation, CRM platforms, or enrolment services.
• Knowledge of ethical AI, privacy considerations, and responsible data use.
• Experience building and scaling products in a startup or fast-moving environment.

What you’ll get

• To lead and develop the model to significantly impact the way we operate across the business
• To enable new products and services to unlock new revenue streams
• The ability to implement innovative solutions that take our services to the next level.
