- Drive execution across product, engineering, research, go-to-market, and partner teams

Requirements
- Several years of direct people-management experience with engineers
- Still highly technical and comfortable doing IC engineering work
- Strong product sense and can operate like a GM for a focused product area
- Can lead senior engineers with credibility and clear technical direction
- Effective at cross-functional influence, communication, and project management
- Genuinely interested in education, learning science, and how AI can improve learning outcomes
