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.
