Product Manager (SaaS)

At Gecko, our mission is clear : to revolutionise student engagement. We’re dedicated to creating innovative software that transforms how universities and colleges connect with their students. Every line of code and feature we develop is driven by our passion for making a real difference in the education sector.  But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to excellence, our vibrant culture, and our amazing team.

We strive to be the world’s most successful student engagement platform, pushing boundaries with groundbreaking technology and exceptional customer service. Join us in building something extraordinary and shaping the future of student engagement. 🚀

Build meaningful software. Lead with AI. Ship fast. Help universities thrive.

At Gecko, we build software that helps universities around the world connect with future students in smarter, more human ways.

We’ve been integrating AI into our products for over five years (long before the hype). From intelligent chat to workflow automation, we’ve consistently looked for ways to help our customers do more with less. We’re now doubling down on what AI can unlock across our platform : faster decisions, smarter engagement, and better student experiences. And we want you to be a key part of that journey.

We’re looking for a Product Manager who’s excited about the future of AI and how it can be used to build better, simpler, faster products. You’ll join a small, ambitious team where you’ll be trusted to take ownership, ship quickly, and bring fresh ideas to life. You’ll work closely with Gecko’s product leadership and senior product / design peers to explore what’s possible and push boundaries together.

If you’re curious, experimental, and ready to build in the AI era, then we’d love to meet you!

What You’ll Do 🚀

• Own a product area from idea to launch; shaping strategy, execution, and outcomes.
• Work directly with users to deeply understand their problems and goals.
• Collaborate with Design and Engineering to ship valuable, elegant features quickly.
• Prototype ideas using AI tools like v0.dev or Cursor to test concepts and spark discussion with design, engineering, or even customers.
• Identify smart ways to embed AI in the product and help customers work more efficiently.
• Balance insight, instinct, and data to make confident product decisions.
• Drive momentum through well-run sprints and clear, collaborative communication.
• Bring challenge and energy to product conversations with our CEO, leadership, and team.

What You'll Bring 🔍

You’re an AI-curious product thinker , a hands-on doer, and someone who genuinely enjoys making software better for users.

Before You Apply...

We’re so excited that you’re considering joining Gecko!

This Product Manager role is an important one, and we want to make sure it’s the right fit; for you and for us. To help with that, we’ve included a few short questions as part of the application. Some are practical (like your experience and product background), and others are designed to help us understand how you think, what you care about, and how you approach problems.

Top tip :   We’re not looking for polished one-liners - we’re looking for thoughtful, honest responses that give us a glimpse of the real you. Tell us how you think about product, not what you think we want to hear.

We’ve included a few short video questions; don’t worry, this isn’t about being polished or professional. Just be yourself. A quick phone-style recording is totally fine.

We also suggest reading our guidance on using AI in your application . Applications that appear to be obviously AI-generated won’t be considered.

Thanks again for your interest - we can’t wait to hear from you!
