Sr. Technical Program Manager, Data at Khan Academy (Remote) - Job of the Day
One interesting job a day.
I created this sub-publication to share roles that might be interesting to my coaching and workshop clients. Mostly one job a day, mostly remote, mostly hiring for other roles as well, and always interesting.
Excerpt:
Khan Academy is a nonprofit with the mission to deliver a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Our proven learning platform offers free, high-quality supplemental learning content and practice that cover Pre-K - 12th grade and early college core academic subjects, focusing on math and science. We have over 155 million registered learners globally and are committed to improving learning outcomes for students worldwide, focusing on learners in historically under-resourced communities.
THE ROLE
At Khan Academy, our Data Insights Group (DIG) is critical in leveraging data to evaluate our impact on learners and educators. By ensuring our data is accurate, actionable, and well-documented, we help measure effectiveness, identify areas for improvement, and support data-informed decision-making. The team includes Data Scientists, Analytics Engineers, Machine Learning Researchers, and Efficacy & Research Scientists.
We’re seeking an experienced Senior Technical Program Manager, Data, to help us change the world. We’ve built a talented team of people from a variety of backgrounds. We believe the best way to provide impactful education is to create a diverse team of people from different backgrounds, races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, ages, and experiences. Together, we’re a team that is deeply invested in your future.
As a Senior Technical Program Manager, Data in the Data Insights Group (DIG), you will lead the planning and coordination of the delivery of complex data initiatives, aligning multiple engineering teams to enhance DIG’s efficiency and impact. Your work will empower DIG to discern our users' needs better and measure product efficacy, enabling us to build the best products to serve our mission.
What you'll do:
Translate Data Initiatives into Actionable Requirements– Work with Data Analysts, Data Scientists, and Efficacy & Research Scientists to translate analytic/research asks into data requirements for high-priority, complex, and large in-scope data initiatives. You will then coordinate with Analytics Engineering to bridge and translate this work by facilitating discussions so that Analytics Engineering can define and build the data solution.
Facilitate Cross-Team Data Alignment – Partner with engineering and DIG to deeply understand and communicate fit-for-purpose data requirements. Bridge gaps between teams by surfacing key insights, resolving misalignment, and ensuring data needs are well understood. Use your technical expertise, product mindset, and prioritization skills to influence decisions, drive consensus, and keep data initiatives aligned with strategic priorities.
Monitor Product Changes & Mitigate Data Risks– Stay informed about product changes and proactively alert DIG leaders to updates that could impact data interpretation or disrupt data pipelines. Ensure cross-functional teams have the necessary visibility to prevent inconsistencies and maintain data integrity.
Develop & Optimize Data Processes– Collaborate with engineering leadership to design, implement, and refine data-related processes that accelerate and simplify data capturing and validation.
