About Us:

Oluko Learning is an early-stage nonprofit incubated at Cambiar Education. We are a learning innovation organization determined to make every learner known and every strength count.

Our flagship product, New Insights, is a strengths-based signal system that maps 30+ foundational Power Skills, including motivation, curiosity, metacognition, collaboration, and persistence, across curricula, content areas, and MTSS frameworks. It gives educators a continuously updated, actionable picture of how each learner engages and grows, and connects those signals directly to instructional strategies. Insight drives action, not just documentation.

Grounded in years of collaborative research with learners, educators, and caregivers, we launched our first school-facing product this fall.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Head of Product to join our team as we transition our offerings from research to the broader K12 market. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be the key leader in building a roadmap for our platform that drives adoption and usage in classrooms, as well as in identifying future opportunities for growth. Since we are a startup, you’ll also help define and operationalize how Oluko develops products. You’ll report to the CEO and work closely with our Head of Engineering, Chief of Research & Global Impact, and others to ensure the roadmap reflects our product vision and the needs of the educators and learners we serve.

You will be responsible for coordinating work across both Oluko and its slate of stakeholders in partner, customer, and funding organizations, as we develop software specific to our research goals. This is a unique opportunity to own a product with a meaningful impact at an early stage and continue growing as that impact and our company continue to mature.
