element451 - Product Manager, Data and Integrations
Requirements
• You've worked on data products and have a genuine curiosity for how things connect. You understand ETL/ELT patterns, API design, webhook reliability, and what it takes to make an integration feel native instead of bolted on. You've shipped connectors or integration features and learned what makes them hard to get right. • You're technical enough to have real credibility. You can read an API spec, write a SQL query to validate your assumptions, and have an informed opinion on REST vs. webhooks vs. event streaming. You don't need to write the code but you need to understand what's hard and why. • You're a systems thinker. You see how a change to the data model ripples across downstream features, design for extensibility, and can still make a clear prioritization call in the middle of complexity. • You're customer-obsessed. You get energy from talking to IT teams and data administrators, not just end users. You can translate "our sync breaks every Tuesday" into a product problem worth solving permanently. • You communicate clearly. You write well, present confidently, and can align engineering, design, sales, and executive leadership around a shared vision—including the unsexy infrastructure work that doesn't make the press release but makes everything else possible. • You have experience in product management—or you've been doing the work of a PM without the title. You've owned outcomes, influenced roadmaps, and driven cross-functional work to completion. Whether that came through a formal PM role or through deep technical ownership as an engineer, architect, or analyst, what matters is that you think in problems and solutions, not just tasks. • Experience in EdTech or higher education SIS and CRM ecosystems (Slate, Salesforce, Banner, Colleague, etc.) • Familiarity with iPaaS platforms (Workato, Boomi, MuleSoft) or building on top of them • Background in vertical SaaS where data fidelity is a competitive differentiator • Experience designing or managing public APIs and developer-facing products
Benefits
• We're the AI student experience and CRM platform for higher education. Hundreds of colleges and universities use us to recruit, admit, enroll, and retain students — and every one of them depends on data moving reliably between Element451 and the rest of their stack. • The product team is small, high-leverage, and moves fast. You'll work directly with the CPO, VP of Product, engineering leads, and cross-functional partners. No layers, no politics — just good product work on a problem that matters. As a member of a lean team, you may occasionally own features or projects outside your core data and integration focus — we value PMs who can flex when the work calls for it.
