Senior Product Manager, Scoring & Assessment Systems

About this role

The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing a competent, ethical, and diverse legal profession. We develop and deliver high-quality assessment products, services, and research that support state courts and licensing authorities in evaluating the readiness of aspiring lawyers.

NCBE is committed to fostering a collaborative, mission-driven environment with competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, flexible scheduling, and professional development opportunities. NCBE’s headquarters is based in Madison, Wisconsin, a dynamic community with exceptional amenities.

The Senior Product Manager, Scoring & Assessment Systems will own the product strategy, vision, and evolution of scoring across NCBE’s exam products. This is a senior product leadership role with clear decision authority, responsible for defining how scoring works at NCBE: from human grading models to the responsible adoption of automated scoring. The role requires strong product judgment, industry perspective, and strong communication skills to evaluate tradeoffs and make recommendations that shape the future of high-stakes legal licensure assessment.

This Senior Product Manager will serve as the single accountable product leader on scoring decisions, working across test development, psychometrics, operations, and technology. When priorities conflict or perspectives differ, this role will guide teams toward decisions grounded in best practices, data, and product outcomes.

This position is ideal for someone who has owned or significantly shaped end-to-end scoring in a large-scale assessment organization and can bring that expertise to a complex, evolving product ecosystem.
