Job Description
We are looking for a Product Manager​ who will develop solutions for our challenges:
How to bring our app to children in need?
How to make sure that they learn when they play?
How to engage their teachers into the project?
How to scale globally…
WHAT WE DO AND WHY
We believe that all children should be given the chance to reach their full intellectual potential. For that, they need a proper foundation early on. It is our mission to help them acquire foundational skills before they start school. Our solution enables them to learn by themselves, without the help of adults, on an app that works globally, even on the cheapest devices.
We are currently testing our EIDU app in the toughest conditions we could find: with more than 3,500 children in two of the largest urban slums in Africa, located in Nairobi, Kenya. We collect usage data from all players, and so have a vast, rich dataset of learner performance over time.

Work in a result-oriented way to increase the core KPIs of EIDU like teacher engagement.

Help the team that implements your stories to understand the problem, compare and contrast opportunities and select among possible solutions.
