WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Per Scholas is seeking a dynamic, strategic, and results-oriented Product Owner to lead our Infrastructure Technology curriculum portfolio. In this role, you will serve as the vertical subject-matter expert (SME) and curriculum product owner-translating labor market intelligence, employer demand, technical standards, and instructional research into high-quality, scalable learning products that drive learner outcomes, credential attainment, and job placement. You will own discovery, define the learner's experience intent, translate infrastructure technology requirements into clear learning objectives and measurable assessments, and partner cross-functionally through build, launch, and continuous improvement.

You bring an infrastructure technology background with fluency across data center operations, low voltage systems, critical facilities, facilities controls, and building automation. You understand electrical and HVAC-adjacent environments, are familiar with Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platforms and Critical Monitoring Systems (CMS), and can translate real-world occupational requirements into clear learning objectives, competency maps, hands-on labs, safety-aligned scenarios, and measurable performance assessments.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Roadmap Ownership & Strategic Alignment

Own and maintain the multi-year curriculum product roadmap for Infrastructure Technology, with clear prioritization criteria, explicit tradeoffs, and documented decisions across market-driven, customized, and alumni offerings.
Establish and maintain a disciplined Operating Rhythm, including discovery-to-delivery planning, milestone tracking, and monthly portfolio reviews tied to outcomes and capacity.
Lead end-to-end product lifecycle management, including opportunity intake, discovery, evaluation, build decisions, implementation, adoption, performance improvement, and strategic sunsetting.
Define and uphold curriculum product standards (quality, consistency, accessibility, safety alignment, assessment rigor, credential alignment) and ensure adoption across the portfolio.

Curriculum Discovery, Requirements Translation, and Design Leadership

Serve as the primary curriculum strategy lead in partner and funder discovery-translating infrastructure technology requirements into learning objectives, assessments, hands-on labs, and curriculum design intent.
Assume accountability for the analysis and design phase of new and existing curricula by setting clear design requirements, acceptance criteria, and readiness-to-build decisions for infrastructure technology products.
