Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world — at least not yet.

At Kognity, we’re here to change that.

We’re a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 120+ countries. Our intelligent platform combines rich pedagogy with smart AI to help students and teachers thrive — from international schools to US high schools.

Now we’re looking for a bold, visionary Chief Product Officer to take our product and our impact to the next level.

This is a company-shaping opportunity. If you want to build the world’s most impactful AI-enabled learning platform — and you’ve got the vision, clarity, and drive to make it happen — we’d love to talk.

Why Kognity is the place to be:

• ✨ Educational Innovation – Lead the next wave of AI-powered learning solutions

• 🌍 Global Reach – Customers in 120+ countries

• 🤝 Collaborative Culture – Join a smart, ambitious team that values impact over ego

• 📈 Ownership – You’ll shape the product vision, structure the org, and drive our AI-first transformation

• 💪 High-Performing Teams – Work with sharp, driven colleagues across product, engineering, and AI who raise the bar every day.

What you’ll do:

• 🚀 Set and drive an ambitious product vision that raises the bar for execution, clarity, and customer value across the company.

• 🌍 Accelerate global growth by leading initiatives that enable us to launch new products into new markets faster than ever before.

• 🤖 Leverage AI to radically increase our product velocity and impact — from smarter content workflows to more personalised, scalable learning experiences.

• ✨ Deliver breakthrough AI-powered features that speed up development, improve ease of use, and enhance the daily experience of millions of teachers and students worldwide.

• 🔥 Inspire, challenge, and align the product organisation around bold goals that maximise progress and transform the future of learning.

What we’re looking for:

• 📌 Experience leading product functions in technology scale-ups (ideally company sizes of 50–300 people and >$10M revenue)

• 🎯 Proven ability to set strategy, structure teams, and turn vision into execution — consistently raising the bar on ambition and clarity

• 🌍 Record of delivering big outcomes — from launching new products to entering new markets, not just maintaining what already exists

• 🔥 Track record of driving pace, clarity, and ambition across cross-functional teams

• 🤖 Real examples of integrating AI into product thinking, operations, and delivery

• 🧭 High-trajectory profile with role evolution, growing scope, or founder experience
  

Our values:

• 🏅 We take ownership – We take initiative and act with self-leadership. We don’t wait for someone else to solve problems we see.

• 🤖 We leverage AI – We apply AI to enhance creativity, decisions, and execution to allow for impact maximization.

• 💡 We drive customer value – Success for our customers drives our progress. We create value for them in everything we do.

• 🗣️ We are transparent – We are radically transparent with opinions and feedback, and we share information widely.

• 💙 We take care of ourselves and each other – We work hard and passionately, but also prioritise our own well-being, and that of our colleagues.

Our leadership principles:

• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Have the best team in place - Leaders at Kognity build and maintain high-performing teams by recruiting top talent and enabling them to do their best work. We never compromise when hiring, so you can be certain that your colleagues will be awesome.

• 🌱 Build trust and caring relationships - Leaders invest time in getting to know their team, sharing their own stories, and encouraging strong peer connections. This builds trust, supports well-being, and fosters open communication.

• ⚖️ Establish radical candor - Leaders give honest, direct feedback—about themselves and others—to build mutual trust and drive fast personal and professional growth.

• 🎯 Delegate ownership - Instead of assigning tasks, leaders delegate full ownership with clear goals, accountability, and support. This drives innovation, growth, and scalability.
