Position Overview:
As the Director of Product for McKissock Learning, part of Colibri Group, you're joining at an inflection point. We're building the future of professional education- AI-powered, career-spanning, and designed to be indispensable to the professionals we serve. You'll lead a focused product team with direct ownership of our Appraisal Membership business and select professional markets, and you'll have real authority to shape what we build and how fast we move.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable in the data and in front of customers- someone who can see around corners, make decisive calls with imperfect information, and drive double-digit growth through great product thinking. If you're energized by building things that matter and moving with urgency, this is the role for you.
What You'll Do
- Maintain direct accountability for Appraisal CE Membership and select professions. Drive revenue, retention, and market share growth while guiding your team’s performance across the broader portfolio. The goal is double-digit, product-led revenue growth.
- Manage and coach a team of three by setting clear goals, provide regular feedback, and build team capability.
- Model the behaviors and standards you expect, while creating an environment where people grow and do their best work.
- Operate deep in the data and the market: Live in dashboards. Track revenue, enrollments, renewals, utilization, and margins. Study customer behavior, regulatory changes, and competitive moves. Know what’s working and where friction lives.
- Be a decisive, hands-on product leader: Translate strategy into clear product direction. Make prioritization calls. Drive alignment across product, curriculum, compliance, marketing, sales, and technology. Move the portfolio forward with urgency and clarity.
- Don't wait for perfect information or a fully funded roadmap. Find creative, resourceful paths from customer pain point to breakthrough product solution.
- Run lean experiments, validate fast, and scale what works. Speed and ingenuity are competitive advantages, use them.
- Work closely with product technology partners to define and deliver new digital features that improve learning experiences and drive measurable learning outcomes. Translate learner and market needs into a clear digital product roadmap, and hold partners accountable for quality, speed, and impact.
- Partner closely with curriculum and compliance teams to ensure offerings meet professional standards, licensure requirements, and accreditation guidelines, without losing speed or relevance.
- Identify opportunities for new products, bundles, pricing models, subscriptions, and lifecycle extensions.
- Work with Marketing and Sales to position offerings clearly and competitively.
- Go deep on customer pain points, not just what they say, but what they struggle with and what would genuinely change their professional lives.
- Engage directly with professionals, firms, associations, and enterprise accounts. Let customer insight drive every significant product decision.
- From concept to launch to optimization to retirement, own the product lifecycle with your team. Build business cases, guide development prioritization, support launches, and make tough calls when products underperform.
- Identify and prioritize AI-powered applications that create meaningful value for learners and the business. Approach AI not as a feature, but as a strategic capability that differentiates our products in the market.
- Identify opportunities to deepen our relationship with professionals by building solutions that support their day-to-day workflows, career development, and long-term success.
- Drive customer lifetime value by making McKissock an indispensable partner throughout a professional’s career, not just at renewal time.
- Refuse to accept broken processes, unnecessary workarounds, or systems held together with duct tape. Continuously look for end-to-end inefficiencies across the product and business—and fix them. Build scalable, clean operating models that make the team faster and the product better.
What You'll Need to Succeed
- 7+ years in product management with a strong emphasis on B2C, direct-to-consumer, or e-commerce environments
- Background in subscription, membership, or digital learning products; experience in professional education or credentialing markets is a plus, but not required
- Demonstrated track record of driving double-digit, product-led revenue growth—not just managing a portfolio, but moving the number
- Proven ability to ship- a history of taking products from concept to market, not just strategy decks to stakeholder reviews
- Experience with LMS platforms, digital education products, or subscription models
- Familiarity with AI tools, platforms, or product development frameworks and a genuine curiosity about their application in education and professional workflows
- Experience working with product technology partners or engineering teams to define and ship digital features
- Ability to navigate ambiguity and thrive in a fast-paced, performance-oriented environment
