Key Responsibilities

  • Own and drive product strategy, priorities, and roadmap.

  • Lead UX and research practices; embed a data‑driven approach to product decisions.
  • Manage Product Ops (QA, feedback loops, operational readiness); ensure disciplined execution and release quality.
  • Champion EnglishScore’s role within the broader British Council ecosystem and drive product alignment.

  • Faster, clearer, and more confident learner journey from invite → download → test → certification.
  • Reduced drop‑off and improved completion and satisfaction rates.
  • Clear integration plan & execution milestones agreed with BC product leadership.
  • Technical and product foundations laid for future interoperability.
  • 5. Team & Culture

  • Mature product rituals and metrics in place (roadmapping, discovery, OKRs, release QA).
  • Strong cross‑functional partnership with Engineering, Sales, and Ops.
  • Hiring plan activated for PMs / UX as scale increases.
  • Experience & Skills

  • 8+ years product management experience, including leadership roles.
  • Demonstrated success shipping mobile products at scale (iOS / Android).
  • Experience building learner or test‑taker journeys or similar high‑trust flows.
  • Strong B2B product and enterprise workflow understanding.
  • Ability to operate between startup pace and institutional rigor.
  • Strong analytics capability and structured decision‑making.
  • Excellent communication skills; able to influence at senior level.
  • Experience with AI / ML product features is an advantage.
  • How You Work

    High standards; pragmatic and fast without compromising quality.

    Data‑driven, customer‑obsessed, commercially aware.

    Clear, structured communicator; low‑ego leadership.

    Prioritises ruthlessly and thinks several steps ahead.

    Serves learners, respects clients, protects trust.
