As a member of the Measurement & Learning Product Management team, within Pearson’s School Assessment organization, the Product Specialist serves as a critical bridge between Product Management, Professional Learning, Product Support, and Partner Success.<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18.4px; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> <p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18.4px; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">This role combines responsibilities traditionally associated with product enablement and product management.
