Cloud-based MIS for UK schools
Location: Remote, UK
Salary: £70,000 - £75,000
At Arbor, we’re on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better.
We believe in a future of work in schools where being challenged doesn’t mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day.
SAMpeople joined the Arbor suite in 2024 because we share at our hearts a recognition that the challenges schools face today aren’t just about efficiency, outputs and productivity - but about creating happier working lives for the people who drive education everyday: the staff. We believe that together we can make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.
SAMpeople is a complete online people management system that works the way you do. From contracts and compliance, to managing absences, cases, training and CPD. It’s used by over 3,000 schools and growing fast. The next phase of our journey together is to bring to life our vision of a connected School Management Suite that takes our mission to transform schools to the next level.
We are looking for a collaborative and experienced Senior Product Manager to join our Product team and help us identify, translate, and prioritise the operational needs of school stakeholders into market-leading HR Information System (HRIS) capabilities and features. The remit and focus of the role is to serve as a key cross-functional catalyst, unifying engineering, design, and commercial teams to deliver scalable, compliant digital tools. It’s a broad and exciting role, so we’re looking for someone up for a challenge - if you’re customer-centric and a keen team player, this is the role for you.

Cloud-based MIS for UK schools
Arbor Education offers a cloud-based MIS for schools and MATs that unifies attendance, behaviour, assessment, payments, parent communications, and statutory reporting in one platform. It works by providing a centralized system with a trust-wide data view for MATs, sold on a subscription basis with pricing by school size and package. It differentiates itself through scale within the UK market, the ability to view data across multiple schools, and by integrating HR functionality through acquisitions. Its goal is to reduce staff admin workload and help schools focus more on student outcomes with a data-driven, efficient management system.
