Job Summary
Product Manager, Strategy Growth
AI, new workforce models, and changing approaches to talent development are reshaping how organizations develop their people. These shifts create opportunities for OpenSesame that extend beyond individual product features to new products, markets, partnerships, business models, and roles we can play in the learning and workforce ecosystem.
As Product Manager, Strategy Growth, you will identify and validate where OpenSesame can create new customer and business value. You will combine customer insight, market intelligence, emerging technology, and commercial thinking to shape product strategy and drive new growth.
This is a hands-on, AI-forward role. You will use AI extensively to accelerate research, analysis, prototyping, and experimentation-but your focus will be broader than AI products. Your job is to anticipate where the future of work and learning is heading, test where OpenSesame has the right to win, and turn the strongest opportunities into products and businesses.
