Job Description
ABOUT PEARSON
At Pearson, we believe the capacity for growth lies in all of us—the potential to learn, to stretch, to constantly better ourselves. We create innovative and accessible assessment products and services that foster personal and professional growth. We are looking for a passionate and skilled expert individual contributor Product Manager to join our team and drive the development of cutting-edge assessment products.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As an Advanced Specialist in Product Management, you will own and shape product direction for assigned product areas within Pearson Professional Assessments, with particular focus on exam authoring, item banking, test assembly, and publishing capabilities.
You will define and execute product strategy by translating customer, stakeholder, market, regulatory, and business needs into a clear product vision, roadmap priorities, and actionable backlog decisions for agile delivery teams. You will lead product discovery across author, reviewer, approver, psychometrician, and exam-builder workflows, balancing customer value, business outcomes, operational realities, technical feasibility, compliance expectations, and product viability to drive enhancements and new capabilities. You will also identify and shape innovative opportunities, including the responsible use of generative AI and other emerging technologies, to improve authoring efficiency, support new assessment approaches, and streamline workflows while maintaining human review, governance, security, assessment integrity, and the quality and defensibility required in high-stakes assessment.
The Advanced Specialist in Product Management must contribute to their product team a solid knowledge of the various constraints of the business such as from marketing, sales, support, finance, legal and privacy. The product manager must also contribute a deep knowledge of our users and customers, and data about how our customers engage with our products. Finally, the product manager is expected to track industry trends and the competitive landscape as they pertain to their product.
This job, as with the other roles on the product team, is an individual contributor role. You will need to be able to influence your teammates, as well as colleagues, stakeholders, and key executives, through your use of data and logic with strong communication skills translating complex concepts in easy-to-understand ways.
ABOUT YOU
You are a curious, evidence-led product manager who enjoys getting close to users and creating clear problem framings – using your product sense to identify the right problems to solve. You experiment with current AI tools in your work and understand that partnership with engineering and your credibility with technology are key to your success in shipping great products. You break problems down with strong analytical instincts, you care about helping people better themselves, and you are at your best when learning fast inside a team that is building something that matters.
While each member of the product team may be accountable for a specific risk, we look for product managers that understand that consistent innovation is the result of each member of the product team contributing their passion and their ideas. The product manager must collaborate closely with their product designer and engineers to discover effective solutions and then work together to deliver those solutions to market.
While we empower our product teams to figure out the best solutions to the problems that need to be solved, we also hold those teams accountable for the results. Shipping is necessary, but not sufficient. We look for product managers that are not afraid of signing up for results, even when this means they have to work through others to achieve the necessary results.
WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON
Strategy and outcomes
Help define a clear value proposition and outcome-driven goals for your scope, traceable to the jobs your users are trying to get done.
Plan measurement up front – leading indicators that tell you whether you are on track, lagging indicators that tell you whether you got there.
Make trade-offs within your scope, balancing strategic bets against near-term commitments and operational needs.
Discovery and customer insight
Build direct understanding of your users through interviews, usability sessions, and time spent observing real workflows.
Use both generative and evaluative discovery in the right places – not just running tests on what's already been decided.
Translate user insight and business context into a clear set of opportunities your team can act on.
Delivery and quality
Work with engineering and design as a single team, sharing problem framing and design responsibility rather than handing over requirements.
Create clear product artefacts – Vision, PRDs, specs, user stories, and acceptance criteria – at the right level for the team, so engineering can build without constant clarification.
Own quality from concept to delivery – not just functional correctness, but whether the work actually ships well and meets the bar you set.
AI and technology
Bring practical, hands-on experience with current AI tools (e.g. generative AI, prompt engineering) into your day-to-day product work.
Identify where AI capabilities could meaningfully improve user outcomes; partner with senior PMs and closely with engineering to evaluate options pragmatically.
Stay tech-curious beyond AI – devices, ecosystems, adjacent platform shifts – when they affect how learners experience your product.
Stakeholders and influence
Build strong working relationships with engineering, design, data, and the stakeholders relevant to your scope.
Communicate progress, trade-offs, and risks clearly; raise things early rather than late.
Tell a clear product story – what problem you are solving, for whom, why it matters, how you will know it worked.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
In the first 6 months:
Direct understanding of users within your scope, built through your own engagement – not inherited research.
Strong working relationships with engineering, design, data, and the customers and stakeholders relevant to your scope.
Clear problem framing for your priority areas, agreed with senior PMs and the wider team.
First meaningful outcomes delivered.
In the first 18 months:
A track record of solved problems – not just shipped features – within your scope.
Measurable improvement in the user outcomes your scope owns.
Visible growth in scope and ownership as you take on more.
WHY THIS MATTERS
A path into platform product management with a team that coaches as well as directs.
An industry at an inflection point: AI, consolidation, and regulation converging.
The work shows up in the experiences of millions of test takers.
A genuinely complex domain — psychometrics, security, accessibility, and delivery infrastructure
NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS
Proven track record as an individual contributor product manager, leading critical, technically complex product initiatives from strategy through release with measurable customer, operational, and business outcomes.
Strong discovery skills — running interviews and usability sessions, and validating problems before committing to solutions.
Hands-on familiarity with AI-assisted workflows or emerging technologies in your own product work, particularly in environments requiring strong governance, human review, quality controls, and responsible product design to support accurate, secure, and defensible outcomes.
Experience working closely with engineering and design in an iterative delivery model, with an outcome-driven approach rather than a feature-delivery mindset.
Demonstrated success driving cross-functional alignment, marshaling resources across teams to overcome obstacles and deliver coherent, impactful outcomes.
Ability to navigate ambiguity, make informed tradeoffs, and escalate critical risks when appropriate.
Highly analytical and data-informed, with experience defining metrics, planning measurement, and translating usage and performance signals into clear product direction and prioritization.
Proven ability to solve complex problems with many constraints, and to translate customer and business needs into clearly documented requirements and functional solutions — articulated through well-structured written narratives grounded in data and sound judgment.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to condense complex technical concepts into clear, non-technical language for diverse stakeholder audiences.
Track record of shipping features that align with original requirements, with minimal post-release corrections or escalations.
BONUS EXPERIENCE
Background in computer-based testing, certification, licensure, education technology, or other regulated or high-stakes environments — especially with authoring, item banking, test development, publishing, or related content lifecycle workflows.
Experience in education technology, media, or content-intensive industries.
Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) and internationalization, especially in the context of global or diverse test-taker populations.
Familiarity with structured content, content atomization, or modular content architectures.
Compensation at Pearson is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific location. As required by the California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York State, New York City, Vermont, Washington State, and Washington DC laws, the pay range for this position is as follows:
The minimum full-time salary range is between $100,000 - $140,000.
This position is eligible to participate in an annual incentive program, and information on benefits offered is here.
Applications will be accepted through 7th August. This window may be extended depending on business needs.
Who we are:
At Pearson, our purpose is simple: to help people realize the life they imagine through learning. We believe that every learning opportunity is a chance for a personal breakthrough. We are the world's lifelong learning company. For us, learning isn't just what we do. It's who we are. To learn more: We are Pearson.

Tips for Your Product Management Specialist Job Search
Quantify outcomes on your resume
Hiring managers for product management specialist roles want to see impact, not activity. Replace vague bullet points with specific outcomes: adoption rates lifted, cycle times cut, or revenue features drove. Tailor these numbers to match the domain of each role you target.
Build a concise product portfolio
Many product management specialist candidates skip a portfolio because they assume it is only for designers. A two-page case study showing a problem you scoped, a decision you made, and the result you measured will separate you from applicants who submit resumes alone.
Filter openings by domain, not just title
Product management specialist roles in fintech, healthtech, and SaaS each require different domain fluency. Target openings where your background matches the product area, not just the job title, so your resume lands as a domain fit and not a generic application.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists product management specialist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a structured discovery narrative
Interviewers for product management specialist roles almost always ask how you identified a user problem. Prepare a specific story that walks through research methods, what you learned, how it changed your thinking, and what you shipped as a result. Vague answers cost offers at this stage.
Negotiate scope before negotiating compensation
Before accepting an offer, clarify the product surface area you own, who you influence without authority, and how success is measured in the first year. Misaligned scope expectations end product management specialist tenures faster than misaligned pay.
Product Management Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most product management specialists?
The companies hiring the most product management specialists right now include Thermo Fisher Scientific, JPMorganChase, and Boeing, with the largest share of openings in North Carolina, New York, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Demand is concentrated in technology and financial services, though healthcare and enterprise software companies have expanded their product teams steadily.
How many product management specialist jobs are remote?
About 38% of product management specialist openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, making it one of the more flexible roles in the broader business and technology job market. Platform and growth product roles tend to have the highest share of remote availability, while roles tied to hardware, clinical operations, or in-person customer discovery are more likely to require on-site presence.
How do you become a product management specialist?
Start by building foundational skills in user research, prioritization frameworks, and writing clear requirements. Move into an associate or coordinator product role, where you own a defined feature area and can demonstrate end-to-end delivery. Document the outcomes you drive, build a case study portfolio, and progressively take on cross-functional coordination responsibilities until you can show consistent specialist-level ownership of a product surface.
Can you get hired as a product management specialist with little experience?
Yes, candidates with limited formal product experience do get hired, particularly when they can show adjacent work in business analysis, UX research, engineering, or customer success. Hiring managers weight demonstrated product thinking over years on a resume title. A well-structured case study showing how you identified a problem, shaped a solution, and measured results will make a stronger case than a resume that lists product exposure without proof of ownership.
What does the product management specialist interview process look like?
Most product management specialist interview processes include an initial recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on your background and product philosophy, and then a loop of structured interviews covering product sense, analytical thinking, and cross-functional collaboration. Many companies add a take-home or live case exercise where you scope a product problem and present your reasoning. Final rounds typically include a conversation with a senior leader or a panel of stakeholders you would work with directly.
Where can I find and apply to product management specialist jobs?
You can find and apply to product management specialist jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your experience level, domain background, and location preference, then apply directly to each listing. No intermediary steps are needed between finding a role and submitting your application.
