Posted on Saturday, March 25, 2023
App Academy is building world-class training programs that help students from all backgrounds transition into careers in software development. Recently we were named one of the top coding bootcamps in the US. We have been profiled in The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Bloomberg as a driving force behind the changing face of tech education in America. Our unique model — we defer tuition until our students graduate and secure jobs afterward — aligns us with the success of our students.
Departmental Goals
Product at App Academy is accountable for the overall success of our educational products in the market as measured by enrollments, graduation rates, job outcomes for our graduates, Net Promoter Score, and margins. Our products and customer experience are our brand, and we forge cross-functional relationships and inspire the organization to execute the product vision.
We own the process of generating and evaluating ideas, testing, developing, going to market, and scaling, all while balancing the financial implications and overall goals of the company. We are building a comprehensive, coherent, and cohesive suite of products centered on the customers (both students and employers who hire our graduates) and trusted by them as organic and effective pathways for their education. 
We will build a user-centered culture that starts and ends with an understanding of our customers’ needs and the software engineering education domain. We leverage some of the best practices of Product Management - continuous discovery, user-centered design, and heavy emphasis on data - to ensure we deliver a delightful customer experience through differentiated, industry-leading educational products. We will balance speed-to-market with building for scale, new product innovation with a stable portfolio, and short-term growth with long-term profitability.
Goals of the Role
Our team prioritizes the most impactful opportunities for the business, pivoting and recalibrating to our organization’s needs, strategic vision, and market dynamics each fiscal year. The Associate Product Manager will demonstrate an unrelenting desire to deeply understand customers, their motivations, and their challenges. The most successful APM candidates will be able to leverage this empathy to proactively identify problems and propose solutions that positively impact the customer experience.  
During the next 12 months, the APM will support Product initiatives related to iterating on our core programs to deliver a premier student experience, launching a next-generation learning platform, and improving internal tooling for App Academy teams.

Develop a deep understanding of customers by collecting qualitative and quantitative data and insights
