Senior Growth Product Manager

eSpark Overview  Vision. Our vision is that every student, regardless of their circumstances or background, has the opportunity to set and realize an ambitious dream for themselves. Our mission is to re-imagine learning so it’s student centered, enabling students to succeed in school and life. Impact.  Our work makes a significant difference in students’ lives. Independent testing data from public school districts across the country consistently show that students learn more in areas of personalized study with eSpark. One researcher from MIT, who evaluated an eSpark in Boston Public Schools, wrote:  “I find strong positive, significant effects of eSpark for both math and English Language Arts (ELA).  So the eSpark intervention, which is just 30 minutes a day, led to almost half the effect of a full year in a high performing charter school.  I view these as very impressive gains.  The findings made a substantial dent into the black-white achievement gap.” Growth.  In the last year, more than 1.3 million students used eSpark (up more than 150%), many of them for the first time. Our customer satisfaction (measured by net promoter score) has grown steadily and is now 79.  We’re on track to more than double our new bookings this year. Pandemic. The 2020-2021 school year is a time of unprecedented challenges for teachers, students, parents, and schools. We believe — and saw in the spring — that eSpark’s personalized curriculum, made of fun and educational games and videos and adapted to each student; our commitment to providing teachers the tools and live support they need to support both remote and in-person learning; and our engaged team focused together on supporting educators and learners, can be a powerful help to teachers and to the students most at risk of falling behind during the pandemic.
