AI Product Lead - REMOTE

About the role

The Product Lead at BARBRI is responsible for defining and delivering AI-assisted learning experiences that improve student outcomes. Reporting to the SVP of Product, you will lead a cross-functional team to ensure that products are aligned with user needs and business goals.

Responsibilities

• Know your users. Spend meaningful time with students, customers, and internal users to deeply understand their problems, behaviors, and unmet needs.
• Evaluate opportunities against business value and user impact, collaborate with your quartet to score and sequence ideas, and make the final call on what the team pursues.
• Define the business case and scope for each initiative before anyone starts building, working with your quartet to align on the problem and why it matters now.
• Translate scope and user research into a requirements document that is specific enough to resolve disputes about what is in and what is out when priorities are challenged.
• Engage directly with prototypes as they develop, reacting alongside your designer and engineer rather than reviewing at checkpoints.
• Run regular demos with working software, turning in-progress builds into alignment and feedback rather than waiting for launch to find out if the direction was right.
• Own the go/no-go decision at release, monitor post-release performance, and feed what you learn back into the next round of prioritization.
• Ensure every initiative is designed to generate useful data, not just ship functionality, and contribute to a growing product data asset that compounds over time.
• Communicate with clarity. Write decisions and rationale clearly so teammates, stakeholders, and leadership are never surprised by where things stand.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Technology, Learning Sciences, HCI, Instructional Design, or relevant disciplines
• 6+ years of product management experience with proven ownership of a product area throughout the full product lifecycle, from discovery through release and ongoing optimization
• Proven ability to conduct end-to-end user research and apply insights directly to product decision making
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted and design tools such as Claude, Cursor, and Figma, with an understanding of the importance of design in developing intelligent product solutions
• Strong written communication skills, with an emphasis on creating alignment and clarity across teams
• Experience working closely with engineering teams and multiple cross-functional stakeholders in a modern, iterative product development environment

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Cognitive Science, Education, or relevant field
• Background in EdTech, legal, or other regulated industries
• Experience collaborating with disciplines such as UX, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), software development, instructional design, or comparable fields
• Ability to think beyond traditional product boundaries, drawing on perspectives from adjacent disciplines—such as instruction and learning—to inform and shape modern product practices

Skills

• Genuine curiosity about users
• AI-fluency and willingness to continue learning
• Data-awareness
• Natural collaboration with cross-functional teams
• Calm, clear, and adaptable mindset
