Vice President, Product - School ERP - School Admin Portfolio

Apply Online

Tyler Technologies is hiring a Vice President of Product to lead our product teams for our School Administrative Solutions portfolio (Finance/HR/ERP). Our software runs the business side of K-12 school districts: finance, purchasing, payroll, human resources, and the state and regulatory reporting districts are required to file.

This is a build role in a growth business. We have an established K-12 franchise, the most tenured domain expertise in the market, and an explicit mandate to grow it: into new states, new product categories, and new buyers. That growth is earned through client value. The districts we serve should run better because of our software, and this role is accountable for making that true across the portfolio and for showing it in measurable client outcomes.

People leadership comes first. You will lead, hire, and develop a distributed team of product managers, product owners, and product analysts, and you will be measured on the strength of the team you build.

This is also a market-facing role. You will spend a substantial share of your time in the field: with district clients and prospects, on stage at industry conferences and user meetings, in front of client advisory boards, and in the room on partnership and acquisition conversations. Strategy for this portfolio gets shaped in the market, and this is the role that does that work and brings the judgment back to the team.

Third, you will lead our AI agenda for the portfolio: what we deliver to clients inside the products, and how the product organization itself works faster and better with AI. We hold a people-first view of this. Our deep K-12 domain experts are the asset, and AI should amplify them, freeing them to focus on judgment, client insight, and the harder problems.

You will work as a peer to our development and quality leaders and report to the SVP and General Manager of the Tyler Schools Market.

Responsibilities:

LEAD AND GROW THE TEAM

Lead, hire, and develop a distributed product team of managers, owners, and analysts across the US and Manila

Put the market's deepest K-12 administrative expertise to work on the highest-value problems. This team's experience is a real competitive asset, and directing it is one of this role's biggest levers

Grow product managers into portfolio owners, and set clear expectations, leveling, and career paths

Set a high bar, coach directly, and invest in the growth of every person on the team

Build a market-facing product culture in which every product manager carries direct client contact, and hold the team to it

Establish the operating rhythm the team works to, and represent its work upward and outward

REPRESENT US IN THE MARKET

Spend substantial time with clients and prospects, including executive briefings and district site visits, and lead the rest of the product team to do the same

Speak at industry conferences, Tyler Connect, regional user meetings, and state association events

Own the portfolio's client advisory boards: charter, membership, cadence, and closing the loop on what you hear

Sponsor strategic and competitive sales pursuits alongside sales leadership

Build durable relationships across the K-12 industry: state associations and agencies, state-level partnerships, consultants, and analysts

Develop and manage strategic product and state-level partnerships from evaluation through commercial terms and integration

Lead product diligence and integration for acquisitions

Carry the market back into the roadmap through competitive intelligence, pricing feedback, and win/loss themes

LEAD THE AI AGENDA

Own the AI product agenda for the portfolio: what we build into the products, how it is packaged and priced, and how adoption is measured

Partner with our AI engineering team to turn product intent into delivered capability

Drive AI into how the product organization works, including requirements drafting, backlog grooming, research synthesis, and triage, so our domain experts spend more of their week on judgment and client insight

Lead this as an augmentation agenda. Our K-12 domain expertise is the competitive asset; AI amplifies it, and part of this role is bringing the team along with clarity and care

Be the credible voice on AI with clients, prospects, and executives, separating what is shipping from what is speculative

Set the standard for responsible AI use in products handling sensitive data

OWN THE PORTFOLIO

Own product strategy and the roadmap across finance, payroll and HR, state and regulatory reporting, and platform integrations

Set investment priorities across the portfolio and allocate product capacity against them

Partner with development and quality leadership on release planning, delivery commitments, and product quality

Guide product decisions that support moving our installed base to cloud delivery

Work with sales, marketing, and client experience on positioning, differentiation, and pricing input

Establish consistent product practice for discovery, requirements, prioritization, and release readiness

Required Qualifications

15 or more years in product management, including 10 or more leading product managers

Proven people leadership. You have hired, developed, and retained product talent, and you can point to people you have promoted

Experience owning a portfolio of products or modules rather than a single product

A genuinely market-facing track record. You have carried a portfolio's external voice: client and prospect meetings, conference and user group speaking, and advisory board or customer council ownership

Demonstrated AI leadership. You have taken AI capabilities to production in a commercial product, not only piloted them, and you can explain them credibly to a non-technical buyer

You have led an AI change through an organization and brought the team with you

Background in enterprise or public sector software

Experience with products carrying regulatory or compliance obligations

Track record of prioritizing with data and holding those decisions with stakeholders

Ability to work as a peer with engineering and quality leaders

Willingness to travel regularly for client, conference, and partner commitments

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Preferred Qualifications

K-12 education technology, or state and local government software

ERP domain experience in finance, payroll, or human resources

An established network in K-12 or public sector software, including association and agency relationships

Experience leading product diligence and integration for an acquisition

Experience building and managing strategic product or channel partnerships

Experience as a public spokesperson for a portfolio, including analyst relations, press, or conference keynotes

Experience moving an installed base from on-premises to cloud

Experience leading globally distributed teams across multiple time zones

MBA or other advanced degree

How to Apply

Please include links to any public-facing content with your application: recorded conference talks, published writing, webinars, podcasts, or analyst commentary.

Work with our integrated district management solutions that help school districts bridge information gaps across all departments. From school ERP to student information and transportation, you can help districts of all sizes achieve more by improving transparency between parents and schools, advancing operations, and enabling data-driven decisions.
