Role Summary
At AimHi Earth, we understand that traditional e-training often feels like "death-by-PowerPoint," especially when the design is uninspiring. For us, transformational learning experiences are dynamic, engaging, and impactful. Our theory of change is simple: memorable experiences lead to impactful behaviour change, which is crucial to combat the climate and nature crisis.
As our Product Manager, you will act as a creative director and visionary producer, ensuring our training products and visual touch points are memorable and lead to long-lasting impact through exceptional, innovative, and creative design. You'll align our organisation's purpose, goals, branding, and client experiences to lead the development of new products, improve existing ones, oversee daily product operations, and leverage data insights to drive strategic decisions.
Your mission will be to ensure our products are not only exceptional in design but also transformative in their ability to inspire and educate, ultimately contributing to meaningful change for the future of our planet.
You will report to our Head of Product, Bella Soares.

Benefits
We take great pride in our people and culture. We trust and admire one another, and we all share the twin desires of wanting to build a great company and combat the climate and nature emergency.
We comprise 20+ people working remotely around the world, and we talk openly and honestly, regularly. We aim to enable all of our team members to do their best work, be themselves, and ultimately feel energised every Monday, so here are some of our perks:
- Flexible hours (as long as you get the work done, you're available for scheduled meetings and you're able to take urgent calls during standard hours, you can work flexibly)
- Remote working with a vibrant, international team, and an open, respectful, values-based culture
- Three one-week in-person team gatherings per year (costs covered)
- Substantial annual leave (25 days pro-rata + local bank holidays + bonus days at Christmas)
- Generous and flexible annual wellbeing and professional development budget
- Workplace Pension Scheme in NEST's ethical pension fund
- Opportunity to connect with a larger community, via our memberships, fellowships and associations with local and global organisations
- Invitations to events and learning opportunities
- The chance to become an integral and formative part of a fast-paced, rapidly growing project that's changing the world for the better.
On Remote Work
Remote work is not for everyone. With it comes freedom, but also isolation. Some enjoy remote work. Others do not. Some like global video calls. Others find them hollow.
We are a group of people who thrive on freedom and diversity, connect well over calls, and love to be working in synchronicity with people around the world. To balance our digital work lives, all our team members have active communities around where we live.
You will not get those regular water-cooler moments, nor those Friday afternoons at the pub with us (save for our week-long get-togethers). You will get a hugely dedicated, diligent team of smart, dynamic people, ambitious about changing the world for the better, and always ready to talk with one another.
Like us, you will be inspired by your colleagues (as we hope to be by you), and you will likely make life-long friends. But if you are worried that you may want more day-to-day, in-person interactions with the people you work with, then a role with us might not be for you.
More About AimHi Earth
As you will know, wildfires are raging, floods are displacing tens of millions, tropical diseases are intensifying, crops are failing, and nature is collapsing. The emergency is just beginning.
At AimHi Earth, we're working to slow and then reverse the emergency - to bring human systems into line with the natural limits of our only home.
The race between education and catastrophe has never been tighter.
This is why we're working to combine digital tech, pedagogy, behavioural science and argumentation theory to rapidly upskill and empower enormous numbers of people to transform complex systems.
This is why our mission is to activate hundreds of millions of nature-first thinkers and innovators, to accelerate the evolution of our economy and society to one of sustainability and regeneration.
We do all this work not just for our shareholders, but for future generations, for nature, and to further fairness, freedom and kinship among global citizens.

Furthermore, to build an organisation that is effective in turning around the climate and nature emergency, we know that we need a team with all kinds of different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds.
Good luck!
