Senior Product Manager

Packback’s mission is to empower every student to be fearlessly curious and find their unique voice.

These few words shape everything we do at Packback from the smallest decision to the largest. Over the last decade since our company’s founding, our team has seen first-hand the power of giving students intentionally designed spaces in their learning experience to be autonomous and curious.

You will join a small, empowered product and design team who work side by side with engineers to shape problems and own solutions together. You will have real ownership of what gets built, from first prototype to user adoption. Current work spans AI-integrated assignments, writing, discussions, and data insights, where real instructor and student feedback shapes what we build. Everything we ship exists to help students think critically, write with purpose, and learn more deeply.
