Job Description

Our Purpose

We are here to create a world served by exceptional professionals. Our products (Casper, Snapshot, and Duet) help higher education institutions to look beyond book smarts, seeing a clearer, more holistic view of applicants. It’s used by 360+ academic partners in Canada, the US, Australia (and growing!) with 150,000+ applicants taking the test each year, and covers 90% of all US medical school applicants. We also host the Admissions Summit, an annual 2-day conference, and power the Alo Grant, an annual $100,000 research fund.

Your Role

We're looking for someone to join our team that has a genuine interest in creating a world served by exceptional professionals. At Altus, you'll be the driving force behind helping us scale our business and ensuring that we can achieve 3x the revenue with 2x the people.

We are effectively a three-sided platform, with applicants taking assessments, programs reviewing applicants and, in the middle, Altus providing the assessments and scoring the applicants.

To drive our remarkable growth, we have focused on the assessments for applicants and the tools our programs need to successfully evaluate an applicant. Between these two steps are the content creation and assessment scoring required to facilitate the entire process. With remarkable growth comes the challenge that the tools required by our teams to keep the system running - that create the assessments and score the applicants - have not scaled with us.

Your goal is to help Altus scale by ensuring that our operations teams have the products they need to help us continue on our journey of growth.

Your responsibilities include identifying the largest challenges to Altus as we scale, prioritizing and sequencing them in a platform roadmap, and spearheading the roll-out and change management required as we streamline the business - helping us re-wire the airplane in flight.

We’re looking for someone with significant experience in optimizing processes, who will not only help define the work to be done but also the processes to execute it.

To be successful, you will need to establish highly effective working relationships with your Product peers and Technology leadership, including the emerging Architecture function.

Impact

When successful, you will reduce the complexity of the operations team and the third-party raters they support, increase the overall velocity of our teams, and set us up for rapid scaling.

The capabilities and services that you build will not only be used internally but also externally by our community of raters (scorers), ensuring our assessments can be used in a growing number of high-stakes people decisions.

This is a full-time role reporting to the VP of Product, ideally located in Ontario but open to other parts of Canada. We are a remote-first company but will return to a limited office presence in Toronto post-Covid to accommodate employees that want/need an office.

In 12 months:

  • You will have created and aligned the company around a roadmap to scale our operations team.
  • You earned the trust and respect of our team and external partners who view you as curious, caring, and driven to solve complex problems and build products that affect millions of people
  • You are known to have a bias towards action and are constantly pushing us to do better and move faster
  • Altus will see reduced complexity and increased velocity as we grow the business.
  • You are trusted as an advocate for our customers and products as you gather business, domain, industry, and market knowledge to update and share the product goals with the Altus team.
  • You are a champion of cross-functional meetings and workshops that drive collaboration and proper prioritization.

Requirements

You will have significant experience with:

  • Authoring Product Vision Statements, Product Strategies, and Roadmaps
  • Planning across multiple teams and products
  • Release Management processes to coordinate execution and align the organization
  • Articulating the capabilities, services, and interfaces that underpin a platform
  • Rigorous end-to-end testing

You have:

  • 5+ years of product management experience at high growth B2B SaaS companies
  • Strong and effective working relationships with Developers and Architects
  • A track record of leading complex planning and execution in multi-product environments
  • A genuine interest in and curiosity about EdTech and our vision/mission
  • A highly organized, strong analytical approach, and outstanding written and oral communication skills

What we expect from a Mission, Values, amp; Culture perspective:

  • Able to live our core va
