Role summary
Learning Commons is seeking a Product Trust Manager to lead trust initiatives across their education platform, focusing on platform integrity, data privacy, responsible AI, DPIAs, API access, data licensing, and access controls. This role involves translating trust, legal, and policy requirements into scalable product and platform mechanisms. The manager will execute trust strategies for AI systems, APIs, and data platforms, defining requirements for consent, API access, retention, user rights, and data use. They will partner with engineering and product teams, establish governance standards, and mitigate risks across the AI and data lifecycle, collaborating with legal, privacy, and security teams to implement regulations like GDPR and CCPA/CPRA.

Experience in cross-functional leadership and a systems-oriented mindset are essential. Preferred qualifications include privacy certifications like CIPM or CIPT.
Learning Commons aims to scale proven teaching and learning practices to benefit every learner by building AI infrastructure that better connects the way students learn to the tools they learn with.
The Team
At Learning Commons, we operate at the intersection of technology, research, and philanthropy. We pair product development with grantmaking to scale proven teaching and learning practices for the benefit of every learner. We aim to bring learning science into the tools educators and students use every day.
Our work is grounded in a deep belief: when technology reflects the realities of classrooms and the science of how students learn, it can meaningfully strengthen teaching and unlock new possibilities for students. The rise of generative AI offers us a once-in-a-generation opportunity to dramatically accelerate the translation of research insights into practical, classroom-ready tools; tools that honor teachers’ expertise, adapt to students’ needs, and make effective learning practices easier to access, implement, and sustain.
In today’s fragmented edtech landscape, school districts are often left piecing together products that don’t always align with curricula or instructional needs. While AI holds enormous potential to support teachers and students, it can only deliver on that promise when grounded in research, high-quality educational data, and expert evaluation. That’s why we’re building open, public-purpose infrastructure — datasets, rubrics, and resources — that help raise the standard for educational tools and create more consistent, impactful learning experiences for all students and teachers.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Product Trust Manager to join our Education Trust team. In this role, you will lead technically grounded trust initiatives across our education platform, with deep ownership of platform integrity, data privacy, responsible AI development, DPIAs, API access patterns, data licensing, and restricted data access controls. You will translate trust, legal, and policy requirements into scalable product and platform mechanisms.
