AI Product Manager

About Wonderschool Wonderschool’s mission is to ensure every child has access to early education that helps them realize their full potential. We do this by helping providers - small business owners who run in-home child care programs - start, operate, and grow their businesses with powerful software, coaching, and support. We also partner with governments to modernize the public child care system. Our team is small, in-person, and deeply motivated by the impact we have on families and communities. About the Role We are looking for an AI-focused Product Manager to own one of the most critical experiences in our platform: provider onboarding and activation. This is not a traditional PM role.
