Product Manager

Company Description Superfan.ng is an edtech learning platform focused on African languages and cultures, designed for learners across the continent and the diaspora. The platform uses a gamified, quiz-first experience to engage users and build deep knowledge of African proverbs, traditions, rites of passage, festivals, folklore, and customs. By combining playful learning with rich cultural content, Superfan.ng aims to make language and heritage education accessible, enjoyable, and relevant. Team members collaborate remotely to create impactful learning experiences that celebrate and preserve African cultural diversity.
Role Description The Product Manager at Superfan.ng will lead the end-to-end lifecycle of features on the learning platform, from discovery through delivery and iteration. In this full-time remote role, the Product Manager will gather and prioritize user requirements, translate them into clear product roadmaps, and work closely with design, engineering, and content teams to ship high-quality experiences. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting user research and data analysis, defining product metrics, managing backlogs and sprints, and aligning stakeholders around product goals. The role also involves experimenting with new gamification mechanics, optimizing quiz flows, and ensuring the product consistently supports language learning and cultural engagement. The Product Manager will regularly review performance, collect feedback, and refine the product strategy to drive user growth, retention, and learning outcomes.
