About Coursera + Udemy

Coursera and Udemy are now one company, bringing together two mission-driven brands to create the world’s most powerful platform for turning learning into progress.

Why join us now?

AI is transforming how people learn, work, and grow, and the need for new skills has never been greater. Coursera brings trusted content and credentials from leading university and industry partners, while Udemy brings a dynamic skills marketplace and global network of real-world experts. By combining these strengths, we can connect more people and organizations to the skills they need, when they need them.

Shape what comes next

By joining our team, you’ll have the opportunity to reshape how the world learns and applies skills—and help millions of people participate in the new economy. Bring your ideas, expertise, and perspective to meaningful work that can make a difference at global scale.

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.

Responsibilities:

• As a Staff Product Manager, you will define and drive product strategy and own the roadmap for a high priority area of the Coursera platform, such as mobile, AI-powered assessment or agentic enterprise integration.

• Own the end-to-end content creation experience for Udemy & Coursera from how instructors and creators author content, to how AI assists and adapts that content for learners — defining what "great" looks like at every step of that journey.

• Make independent product calls in a fast-moving environment, bringing cross-functional partners along through clear reasoning and well-structured communication rather than consensus-by-committee.

• Translate customer insights and market trends into integrated solutions that can scale to serve millions of learners and customers around the world.

• Lead execution from ideation and analysis through development and launch, delivering measurable outcomes.

• Partner with Engineering, Design, and Data te
