Assistant Product Manager

At Mathspace, we're on a mission to transform the way students learn maths. As a global leader in personalised maths education, we believe that technology can help every student excel by providing the right support at the right time.

Our adaptive learning technology dynamically tailors maths programs to each student's strengths and weaknesses, making us the only maths platform that uses step-by-step adaptive learning. With the power of generative AI, we're exploring new ways to make maths learning more engaging and effective.

In Australia, Mathspace is becoming the go-to digital maths education tool, equipping teachers with dynamic course materials that align with national curricula. But we're just getting started—our vision is to create an extraordinary learning experience for students everywhere.

Requirements

We're looking for an Assistant Product Manager to join our team and work closely with our founder-led product teams. In this role, you'll help bring product ideas to life by owning the detail-oriented execution of product development and supporting the day-to-day work across our squads.

You'll play a key role in helping us move faster by lightening the operational load on our founders/PMs —documenting requirements, identifying and prioritising issues, helping us understand users better, and ensuring our releases go smoothly.

• Product Execution Support: Write detailed user stories, document edge cases and product requirements, and manage tickets throughout the development lifecycle.
• QA & Testing: Test product features and changes before release, ensuring they meet specs and deliver great user experiences.
• Bug Prioritisation: Track and triage bugs, helping to prioritise fixes and communicate impact.
• User Research: Assist in conducting user interviews, surveys, and data analysis to uncover user needs and inform product decisions.
• Documentation & Communication: Maintain clear documentation and updates that help the team stay aligned and move quickly.
• Coordinating Agile Processes: Organise and run daily standup meetings, and help facilitate sprint ceremonies such as planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work with engineering, design, and customer support to ensure product quality and a clear understanding of requirements.

You're detail-oriented, curious, and love making things better. You're excited to dive into the operational side of product development and enjoy working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

You have:

A knack for getting into the details without losing sight of the bigger picture.
Strong communication and organisational skills.
An eagerness to learn and grow your product skills.
Some exposure to digital products, ideally through a tech company, internship, or similar role.
Familiarity with task management tools like Jira, Trello, ClickUp, Asana or similar

Familiarity with various LLM models, prompting techniques and basic evaluation

Familiarity with design tools (eg. Figma), A/B testing tools, and data visualisation tools (eg. Metabase and SQL)—or interest in learning them.
