Kuali

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our Kuali Research product, a mission‑critical area of our higher‑education SaaS platform. This role is ideal for a seasoned product manager who thrives in ambiguity, operates with deep customer empathy, understands how to drive business growth with product investments, and consistently delivers high‑impact outcomes.
As Senior Product Manager, you will own this complex product domain end‑to‑end — shaping vision and strategy, driving roadmap decisions, and partnering closely with engineering, design, and go‑to‑market teams. You’ll influence cross‑functional alignment, elevate product quality, and ensure the Kuali Research solution delivers measurable value to colleges and universities, while delivering business outcomes that support company growth objectives.

Who are we?
Kuali builds software solutions for higher education. We help our customers — colleges amp; universities — focus on providing a fantastic education to students by decreasing their administrative costs. We work in a competitive space, ripe for innovation, with users ready to be delighted.
Our Culture
As a company, we are guided by our cultural values:

At Kuali, we learn from and teach each other, we practice transparency and empathy, we delight in delivering value to our customers, and we WIN!

We work remotely, and have for years. Distributed work is in our bones, with a history of institutions working across state lines on open-source software for more than ten years. Our employees each work in the environment where they’re happiest, from Pennsylvania to Seattle. We work consciously to create a collaborative and healthy remote work culture, and we travel to meet in person a few times each year. We feel it’s important for employees to come to work refreshed and ready for the week so we have a four day work week policy, Monday-Thursday.

Everyone should love their work.

At Kuali, we embrace diversity and inclusion at every level. We value and respect individuals from all backgrounds, recognizing that a rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives fuels our success as a company and enriches our collective human experience.

About you

We’re looking for curious, enthusiastic, empathetic people to solve problems, execute on ideas, advocate for the customer, and contribute to a team culture built on trust and mutual respect.
We build and support systems using both Java and Node.js/React. We believe that great developers can always learn new tools. Above any specific tech stack, we’re looking for versatile developers — those who know when to think big and when to act small, and who are comfortable in both greenfield and refactoring projects.
We believe the best results are created by teams who represent a broad range of ideas and perspectives. We value employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
