Head of Product Management - Data, AI/ML & Automation

Correlation One is an education technology company whose mission is to create equal access to the jobs of tomorrow.

We have developed a new model for education that eliminates traditional barriers to opportunity. We run training-to-jobs programs that are 100% free for learners, financed by enterprises that train or recruit program graduates. This model aligns incentives between the education provider, learner, and employer, where everyone wins when the learner–who is typically a working adult from an underrepresented background–gets hired.

Our flagship programs include Data Science for All, our data science reskilling program for individuals from historically underrepresented groups, and Amazon Career Choice, our analytics training program for frontline warehouse workers.

Our model is not just more equitable, but it is also more scalable than traditional approaches. Our expert network of industry leaders, teachers, career coaches and mentors and our virtual teaching platform allows us to run programs for 10,000+ learners in 10+ countries, and we plan to grow 10x+ in the next three years.

Our clients include over 50 blue-chip companies such as Amazon, Walmart, Citadel, Morgan Stanley, EY, Citi, Target, Prudential, and Johnson & Johnson. These organizations work with us to train their own employees, to recruit our program graduates, and to proactively invest in talent from traditionally underrepresented communities. We also partner with governments to build and deploy displaced worker reskilling programs in the Middle East and Latin America.

We are proud to be a LinkedIn Top 50 Startups of 2022 and Fast Company’s World Changing Idea winner. Join us as we build the workforce development platform of the future!
