𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆: Crossover jobs are are fully compliant with LinkedIn's policies, as well as the applicable laws in every country where we advertise.

Allow us to clarify some common misconceptions:

  1. The reason we post so many job ads is because LinkedIn organizes all job postings by location. So, the only way to reach candidates all over the world is to post multiple ads in every city you want to hire from. Most recruiters don't bother because it's too time consuming... but we're not most recruiters.
  2. We mostly recruit independent contractors, not employees, because labor laws vary so much from one country to another that it's near-impossible to recruit globally otherwise (which is why it's still uncommon even though most jobs can now be done remotely).
  3. As is standard for any self-employed person, the stated pay is the entire compensation package. Because they are not employees, each contractor is responsible for handling the things that an employer would take care of e.g. taxes, equipment, vacation time, health insurance. One of the major reasons that Crossover jobs pay so much more than local jobs is to overcompensate for these costs.

It's hard, but it's worth it!

Job Description

Crossover is the world's #1 source of full-time remote jobs. Our clients offer top-tier pay for top-tier talent. We're recruiting this role for our client, Alpha. Have you got what it takes?

Are you a product manager who wants to build something that actually matters? At Alpha School, you can lead the development of AI-powered education technology that's unlocking human potential at an unprecedented scale. We're not just improving education—we're completely reimagining it.

Education

Our revolutionary 2-hour learning model has proven that children can achieve 2-5x faster learning—sometimes even 10x—compared to traditional education. We've cracked the code on what every child needs to thrive academically:

  • Perfect Academic Delivery: AI-powered personalization that adapts to each student's pace and knowledge base
  • Powerful Motivation Systems: A framework that transforms external rewards into lasting intrinsic motivation

By compressing required learning into just 2 hours per day, we give students the "gift of time"—4 hours daily to pursue their passions, develop leadership, build resilience, and explore creative expression.

In this role, you'll be working on groundbreaking products such as:

  • TimeBack™: Our educational operating system that uses computer vision and AI to provide real-time coaching
  • Athena: An accelerated learning platform that delivers guaranteed AP scores of 5 and SAT improvements of 100+ points in just 10 hours
  • Incept: Our AI content generation engine that creates personalized, adaptive learning materials at scale

Our Alpha schools are already achieving remarkable results—students performing in the top 1-2% academically while developing exceptional ambition and growth mindset. Now we're scaling to reach 1.5 billion children globally. If you're here to move fast, cut through noise, and fundamentally transform how kids learn, apply now.

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • A project manager or program manager role
  • Focusing on incremental improvements or improving existing tech
  • Making important decisions based on gut instincts, opinions, or personal experience
  • Using AI as a side project or in simplistic ways, like as a writing coach or a search engine

Senior Product Manager Key Responsibilities

  • Improve student outcomes through the development of innovative EdTech products that drive 2x learning speed and 2-hour daily study efficiency

Basic Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in a product management role focused on defining functional requirements and driving business outcomes
