Senior Product Manager, Responsible AI

About Playlab Playlab is a tech non-profit dedicated to helping educators and students become critical consumers and creators of AI. We believe that an open-source, community-driven approach is key to harnessing the potential of AI in education. We equip communities with AI tools and hands-on professional development that empowers educators & students to build custom AI apps for their unique context. Over 60,000 educators have published apps on Playlab – and the impact is growing every day. At Playlab, we believe that AI is a new design material - one that should be shaped by many to bring their ideas about learning to life. If you're passionate about building creative, equitable futures for students and teachers, we hope you'll join us. The Role Playlab is hiring its first dedicated Product Manager. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to shape how educators and students build with AI, not from a distance, but in the details. You'll work to implement Playlab’s strategic pillars including: Expand what's possible: Add new capabilities (e.g., components, agents) that expands Playlab beyond chatbots, so that users can build more software that meets their needs. Deepen the context: Make Playlab the tool that best understands and adapts to user context, building on and expanding beyond our current work on curriculum knowledge graphs. Set the safety standard: Establish Playlab as the benchmark for responsible AI in education, shifting the burden of safety from users to the platform. Playlab has a near-term strategy defined. What we need is someone who can translate that strategy into shipped product, while sharpening the strategy based on what you learn along the way. You'll work directly with our CTO, engineering team, ML team, designers, and partnerships team. You'll hear directly from educators through our deep partner relationships. And you'll make product decisions that affect how educators and learners across the globe experience AI in education. This role requires comfort with ambiguity. Playlab is an early-stage product with significant scope, a growing team, and limited existing product process. You'll need to build that process as you go, not wait for someone to hand it to you. If you need a lot of structure to do your best work, this isn't the right fit. If you thrive when you can shape the environment around you, read on.
