Senior Product Manager, Admissions Assessment; Casper

Steward a product that higher education programs rely on, and that few product managers ever get trusted to lead.

Casper was built to answer a question most admissions systems never asked:

How do we see the whole person behind the application?

For more than two decades, Casper has helped institutions evaluate qualities like empathy, ethics, and judgment, the human capabilities that matter long after grades and test scores fade into the background.

Today, Casper operates at a global scale and plays a meaningful role in high-stakes admissions decisions. It’s trusted, research-backed, and deeply embedded in how institutions make choices that shape learners’ futures.

This role offers the opportunity to guide Casper through its next chapter, own outcomes, navigate real trade-offs, and apply strong product judgment to a product people depend on.

This is a remote, full-time role based in Canada.

Casper is not a product in search of relevance. It’s widely adopted, deeply trusted, and embedded in admissions processes that carry real consequences for institutions and learners.

The work ahead is focused on enabling Casper to scale sustainably, operate more efficiently, and meet rising expectations without compromising trust.

At the same time, Casper continues to run live assessment cycles and support global programs, creating a real tension between progress and continuity, one that requires strong product judgment, disciplined scope decisions, and close cross-functional partnership.

You’ll be stepping into a role where:

• Direction is meaningful, but not fully predefined
• Trade-offs are real, not theoretical
• Decisions carry long-term impact, not just near-term wins

This is work for a senior product professional who’s comfortable navigating complexity and shaping clarity when not everything is neatly resolved.

“This is an exciting moment to work on Casper. We’re past the legacy constraints of yesterday, and now we’re focused on building what comes next on a modern, AI-first foundation, with space for thoughtful leadership and real impact.” -
Reham Fawad, AVP, Growth Products

As Senior Product Manager for Casper, you’ll be accountable for the product decisions that guide Casper’s evolution, balancing long-term integrity with near-term delivery and progress with trust. This role is accountable for outcomes, not just outputs.

In practice, that accountability shows up as:

• Owning Casper’s product direction and roadmap, including how problems are framed, which opportunities are prioritized for TAM realization, and how trade-offs are made, grounded in market needs, research evidence, operational realities, and business outcomes.
• Protecting the integrity of a live, high-stakes product, ensuring reliability and continuity while meaningful evolution is underway
• Partnering closely with Engineering, Research, Operations and GTM teams to align product direction with customer needs, adoption, and growth priorities
• Creating clarity and momentum across teams, especially when priorities compete, or information is incomplete, so progress doesn’t stall in ambiguity

Casper is more than software. It’s an assessment grounded in decades of research, validation, and real-world use.

In this role, Research is a core partner in shaping the product. Product decisions here are closely tied to research considerations around validity, fairness, and trust.

As Senior Product Manager, you will:

• Work in close partnership with Research to translate evidence into practical product decisions
• Balance rigour with feasibility, and innovation with defensibility

You don’t need to be a psychometrician. You do need to be curious, thoughtful, and comfortable operating in a space where evidence matters and not everything is easily testable.

For the right product leader, this partnership isn’t a constraint; it’s one of the most intellectually rewarding parts of the role.

“The product itself is simple. What makes Casper complex and powerful is the research behind it. The integrity of the score is everything, and product and research have to be tightly connected for that to work.”
