Who we are and what is important to us:

Beyond unifies three technology‑driven brands, Wonde, Evouchers and Secure Schools.

Each brand shares a vision to reduce the friction of adapting technology, to help customers navigate an often overwhelming area and provide powerful solutions that make their everyday life easier.

The three brands run independently with the autonomy to continue to prosper although as part the Beyond team, you’ll join a wider, supportive environment where you’ll be able to pull on the expertise and capabilities of the group.

We do not limit ourselves to standing still. We look ahead and strive to disrupt the sector we operate in. We believe technology should not be complicated or overwhelming. It should do what it says - quickly, safely and efficiently.

Who Wonde is:

Wonde is an innovative and fast‑growing ed‑tech scale‑up that is on a mission to deliver cutting‑edge technologies to improve ways of working for the education sector.

Our goal is to ensure the focus is always on the learning outcomes for the students. We do this by transforming how school data is maintained, managed and accessed by third‑party applications (apps) via our simple API platform.

We are trusted by over 30,000 schools globally in the security and reliability of their technology and data.

We’re committed to changing the lives of students, teachers and parents and want the help of talented individuals who will support our journey in driving better outcomes for the education sector.

• Maintain detailed product documentation, release notes, and internal guides.
• Track and analyse product performance metrics to identify gaps and operational improvements.
• Support prioritisation and decision‑making using data, customer feedback, and internal input.
• Manage bugs, tech debt items, and smaller enhancements to keep products running smoothly.
• Coordinate stakeholder updates, ensuring all teams are informed about timelines, releases, and ongoing work.

• Experience working in SaaS, API, or multi‑product platforms.
• Familiarity with international product rollouts and compliance considerations (desirable).
• Exposure to customer‑facing products in fast‑growth environments.
• Hands‑on experience with backlog management, user stories, acceptance criteria, and sprint planning.
• Exposure to fast‑moving product environments where speed, quality, and adaptability are critical.
• Demonstrated ability to challenge assumptions, influence stakeholders, and improve processes.
• Experience collaborating with engineering, product marketing, and commercial teams.
• Comfortable with technical concepts and able to converse confidently with engineering teams about architecture, integrations, and dependencies.
