Product Manager, Data and Integrations

About the role

Higher education runs on data but that data lives everywhere. CRMs, SIS platforms, LMSs, financial aid systems, marketing tools, and a dozen other point solutions that don't talk to each other. Enrollment, marketing and success teams make critical decisions with incomplete pictures, and students fall through the cracks because the right information never reaches the right place at the right time. Element451 is solving this with data and AI agents that connect the entire student lifecycle - ingesting, syncing, transforming, and activating data across systems that make a campus run. We're looking for a Product Manager to own our most foundational surface area: Data Platform: Pipelines, schema management, data quality, and the infrastructure that powers everything else Integrations Ecosystem: Native connectors, iPaaS partnerships, webhook frameworks, and the APIs that make Element451 the hub of a campus tech stack Marketing & Source Data: The features that help institutions understand where students come from-campaign attribution, source tracking, web analytics, and the tools that connect marketing effort to enrollment outcomes These aren't supporting features, they're the foundation every other product is built on. You will define the roadmap, unblock engineering, and make it dramatically easier for customers to connect Element451 to their world.

Requirements

• You're technical enough to have real credibility. You can read an API spec, write a SQL query to validate your assumptions, and have an informed opinion on REST vs. webhooks vs. event streaming. You don't need to write the code but you need to understand what's hard and why.
• You're a systems thinker. You see how a change to the data model ripples across downstream features, design for extensibility, and can still make a clear prioritization call in the middle of complexity.
• You're customer-obsessed. You get energy from talking to IT teams and data administrators, not just end users. You can translate "our sync breaks every Tuesday" into a product problem worth solving permanently.
• You communicate clearly. You write well, present confidently, and can align engineering, design, sales, and executive leadership around a shared vision-including the unsexy infrastructure work that doesn't make the press release but makes everything else possible.
• Experience in EdTech or higher education SIS and CRM ecosystems (Slate, Salesforce, Banner, Colleague, etc.)
• Familiarity with iPaaS platforms (Workato, Boomi, MuleSoft) or building on top of them
• Background in vertical SaaS where data fidelity is a competitive differentiator
• Experience designing or managing public APIs and developer-facing products
• Why Element451
• We're the AI student experience and CRM platform for higher education. Hundreds of colleges and universities use us to recruit, admit, enroll, and retain students - and every one of them depends on data moving reliably between Element451 and the rest of their stack.
