Team Overview
Coursera’s Product Management team drives our mission of providing universal access to world-class learning and skills development. Senior and Staff PMs lead high-impact product initiatives, balancing strategic vision with hands-on problem solving to create integrated learner, partner, and enterprise-level experiences. They partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data, and Business stakeholders to deliver innovative solutions in an evolving, AI-driven education landscape.
Job Overview
As a Staff Product Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping Coursera’s product vision, delivering exceptional learner and partner experiences, and driving measurable business impact. You will operate at the intersection of strategic thinking and hands-on execution, navigating ambiguity while influencing cross-functional teams.
Creator-Centric UX Thinking
You think in experiences, not just features. You have a strong point of view on what good authoring and creation tools feel like—and the patience to pressure-test that instinct with real creators until the product earns trust. You can speak fluently with design partners and push back when something that works technically doesn't work humanly.
Revenue Awareness
You understand how the products you build connect to the business. Whether it's creator retention, content quality driving learner outcomes, or new monetization surfaces—you can draw a line from product decisions to commercial impact, and you use that line to prioritize.
Customer-Centric Curiosity
Exhibit deep curiosity to understand customers and all elements influencing their experience, offering comprehensive, integrated solutions that address real needs.
Thriving in Ambiguity
Operate effectively in uncertain, fast-changing environments, as often found in startup-like situations.
Balanced Skills vs. Domain Experience
While domain expertise is beneficial, strong intellectual capacity, curiosity, proactiveness, and solid foundational product skills enable quick adaptation even without prior domain exposure.
Strategic & Tactical Agility
Seamlessly switch between defining long-term vision and deep-diving into execution details when required.
IC Excellence
As an individual contributor, comfortably navigate between strategy and execution to deliver impact.
Integrated Experience Design
A track record of designing end-to-end integrated experiences is a strong plus.
Tool Familiarity
Familiarity with tools in the PM space, such as Jira, Figma or generative AI tools, though tool-specific experience is less crucial. A capable PM with strong core skills will learn quickly.
Speed of Innovation
Demonstrates the ability to rapidly prototype, test, and iterate solutions to keep pace with evolving customer needs and emerging technologies. Balances speed with rigor to deliver impactful outcomes quickly.
