About The Position

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. This role requires a strong understanding of creator-centric UX thinking, revenue awareness, customer-centric curiosity, and the ability to thrive in ambiguous and fast-changing environments. The ideal candidate will possess balanced skills, strategic and tactical agility, and a track record of designing end-to-end integrated experiences. Familiarity with PM tools like Jira, Figma, or generative AI tools is beneficial, as is the ability to rapidly prototype, test, and iterate solutions.

Requirements

Experience building, using, or experimenting with AI-driven products, particularly in the areas of workflow automation, conversational AI, decision support, or agentic AI, and transitioning from traditional UI to AI-driven or AI-first product.
Experience taking a product from zero to launch in an environment where the path wasn't clear, including defining the problem, making the bet, building team confidence, and shipping.
A high bar across the board - from your own contributions to the people you work with, to the products you work on.

Nice To Haves

Inspiring colleagues to think bigger, look beyond safe bets and tackle challenges with conviction. A builder, not an optimizer.
Strong aesthetic sensibility and deep respect for craft in UX. Genuine creative partnership with designers.
Understanding of creator psychology and experience shipping products that creators want to use.
Commercial literacy; ability to connect product choices to revenue outcomes without reducing every decision to a business case. Knowing when to push for a quality call that doesn't have an immediate ROI, and when that's the wrong call.
Energized about solving hard problems and navigating ambiguity and rapid technology change.
Deep curiosity about customers and the positive impact your product could have on their lives. Diving deep into data and feedback to ground understanding of their needs and experience using your products.
Sense of responsibility and urgency to invent the future of AI as a force for unlocking human potential and expanding opportunity.

Responsibilities

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 teams to deliver AI-powered product features and experiences.
Leverage data and customer feedback to inform decisions and continuously improve.
Mentor peers and contribute to building a high-performing product organisation.
