What skills are most important for a job like yours?
I would say adaptability and flexibility are key. This means being willing to take on different tasks and learn new skills quickly.
I would also say a commitment to excellence is important. Often times, you are the person who decides if something passes or not. You really have to have a keen eye for the standards the company is setting and for what we want to ultimately approve.
You also need background knowledge. So, you need to know about education and pedagogy. Ideally, you should have experience in the classroom if you are working as a product manager for an educational technology firm.
