The Role Unit4 is a market leader for ERP and finance solutions across universities, colleges, and the Canadian K-12 school board market. Higher education faces structural funding pressure, growing research complexity, and the demands of an increasingly digital student experience.

As Product

Director for Higher Education and K-12, you own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap that makes Unit4 the platform of choice across these institutions. You will have dedicated engineering capacity to build vertical depth that distinguishes Unit4 in this market - capabilities that matter to a university CFO managing a research portfolio, a registrar navigating financial aid complexity, or a Superintendent of Business in a school board managing provincial budget allocations. You will work closely with horizontal product teams to ensure the platform delivers end-to-end, but the vertical product strategy is yours.

Monitor the competitive landscape - know what Ellucian, Workday, Microsoft, Tribal Group, and others are shipping and what it means for Unit4's positioning.
