Learning Sandbox is a global learning consultancy bringing together learning, creativity and technology to help organisations solve meaningful learning challenges.\nOur work spans digital learning, education, science, technology and everything in between. We work with ambitious organisations and multidisciplinary teams to turn complex ideas into experiences that are clear, engaging and impactful.\nWe’re a curious, collaborative team that cares about putting people first, growing together and doing exceptional work that enriches the world.\nAbout our client: LabXchange\nLabXchange is a nonprofit education project based at Harvard University. Too many students, whether because of economic or geographic limitations, lack access to high-quality science education and the chance to engage meaningfully in the scientific process. Globally, this has led to significant gaps in diversity across scientific fields and in scientific literacy overall. LabXchange believes students everywhere should have an equal opportunity to prepare for and succeed in science.\nTo make that real, LabXchange offers the best of digital science education to teachers and students around the world, for free, through an advanced, flexible and interactive learning platform. It goes well beyond text, video and multiple-choice questions, with virtual lab simulations, interactive animations, experimental design simulations and a knowledge graph that can be remixed into customised learning pathways. Social features like private classes, discussion forums and mentorship connect learners with educators.\nAbout the role\nWe're hiring a Senior Product Manager to own growth for the LabXchange platform: more learners and educators finding it, and more of them coming back. You'll set the growth strategy, turn data into a clear roadmap, and work with engineering, design, content and marketing to ship experiments that move acquisition, activation and engagement. This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who is as comfortable in a dashboard as in a roadmap review.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nOwn the growth strategyfor LabXchange across acquisition, activation, engagement and retention, and turn it into a prioritised roadmap. This will include the USA and a global strategy.\nGrow the user baseby finding and scaling the channels that bring in students, educators and institutions, including organic search, marketing, partnerships and referral loops.\nIncrease engagementby improving onboarding, discovery and the paths that bring learners and educators back week after week.\nLead with data. Define the growth metrics, build and maintain dashboards, run funnel and cohort analysis, and use the findings to decide what to build next.\nRun a steady experimentation programme:form hypotheses, design A/B tests, size impact and share what you learn.\nDrive SEO and content discoverability with content and engineering teams, so our simulations, lessons and pathways reach people searching for them.\nManage the core library experience: how learners and educators find, browse and reach the right content, and how the library is organised so that it happens quickly. Manage the development and redesign of the LabXchange platform. \nWork across teams with engineering, design, content, marketing and partners, and keep stakeholders and funders informed on progress and results.\nManage stakeholders and projects across multiple capabilities (engineering, design, content, marketing and partners), keeping priorities, timelines, dependencies and expectations aligned from kickoff through delivery.\nKeep stakeholders in the loop. Announce releases in various Slack channels and facilitate catchups with various stakeholders.\nBring in the user's voice through interviews, surveys and usability testing with students and educators around the world.\nManage a multi-timezone team to achieve LabXchange’s growth goals. \nWhat you’ll bring\nWe’re looking for a Senior Product Manager who can own growth end to end, make sense of the data and confidently lead the work that gets more learners and educators using LabXchange.\n8+ years of relevant experience in product management, with a strong track record in growth.\nProven results growing a digital product's user base and engagement, with the numbers to show for it.\nStrong data analytics skills.\nHands-on experience running growth tests.\nAbility to turn analysis into clear priorities and explain them to technical and non-technical audiences.\nExperience working closely with engineering, design and marketing teams.\nExperience running an outsourced engineering team alongside in-house designers and content staff.\nComfortable experimenting with AI tools, especially Claude and Claude Code, to speed up processes and workflows, and open to testing other tools as they emerge.\nMust be eligible to work in South Africa.\nNice to have\nSEO experience, including technical SEO, content strategy and keyword research.\nExperience in education technology, online learning or science content.\nExperience with mission-driven, non-profit or grant-funded products.\nFamiliarity with growing products for a global audience, including emerging markets.\nNext steps\nWe are committed to creating an inclusive workplace, where individual differences are respected, appreciated, and supported.\nThe next step for shortlisted candidates is to complete a skills alignment assessment.
