Senior Product Manager – AI & Game-Based Learning (Remote)

NovaKid is a global leader in online English education for children aged 4–12, serving 100000+ students across 50+ countries. As the Product Manager for AI & Game-Based Learning, you will own the "non-live" student experience.

Your goal is to transform the Novakid Kid’s Area from a supplementary area into a significant driver of language acquisition for young kids. You will lead the development of self-guided English learning games and integrate cutting-edge AI-based self-practice tools that encourage children to speak more, practice safely, and stay motivated between their 1:1 teacher sessions.

• Design and scale features like Pandy AI Tutor to provide 24/7, judgment-free speaking practice for students across various proficiencies.

• Own the roadmap for current and future gamified worlds, focusing on LLM based learning mini-games that reinforce curriculum-aligned vocabulary and grammar.
