The Senior Product Manager for AI & Game-Based Learning will lead the development of self-guided English learning games and AI-powered tools at Novakid School, a global leader in online English education for children aged 4–12. This role focuses on transforming the 'Kid’s Area' into a key driver of language acquisition through gamification and AI-driven personalization, ensuring high engagement and learning outcomes between live sessions.
Responsibilities
- Lead a small team of designers and developers (with access to analytical and research resources).
- Design and scale features like Pandy AI Tutor to provide 24/7, judgment-free speaking practice for students across various proficiencies.
- Own the roadmap for current and future gamified worlds, focusing on LLM based learning mini-games that reinforce curriculum-aligned vocabulary and grammar.
- Use AI to create adaptive learning paths that adjust game difficulty and content in real-time based on a child’s performance in both live classes and self-study.
- Work with engineering to refine Speech-to-Text and AI prompting logic to maximize student speaking time—aiming for the high-engagement levels seen in AI-only learning models.
- Design and manage the 'Economy of Fun,' including avatars, star rewards, and other gamification features that compete for a child's attention against mainstream apps.
- Work closely with designers, engineers, curriculum developers, and teacher operations to turn user insights into high-quality educational content and engaging UX.
Requirements
- 4+ years’ experience in a PM role.
- Hands-on experience in AI-powered features (prompt engineering, conversational AI, or adaptive algorithms).
- Strong background in mobile gaming or highly gamified EdTech, with a deep understanding of reward systems, level progression, and retention hooks.
- Proven ability to build interfaces for 4–12-year-olds that are intuitive, safe, and require zero parental intervention.
- Proficiency in analytical tools to analyze 'incidental learning' metrics and game-completion rates.
- Manage the Agile process with our engineering team, ensuring that prototypes are delivered and scaled with technical excellence.
- You thrive in a 100% remote, distributed team environment and are a master of tools like JIRA and Slack.
- Excellent spoken and written English.
