What the job involves
- As a Learning Product Manager for the US Market, you will be responsible for developing and scaling a portfolio of programs specifically designed for the United States

- Define a strategic roadmap for the US portfolio, aligned with company goals and the specificities of the American market

- Analyze industry trends, workforce demands, and program feasibility considering WASC accreditation, credit requirements, internships, and state-level constraints
- Build program growth forecasts in collaboration with Data and Business teams, using US-specific revenue levers such as federal/state funding, employer partnerships, and market opportunities
- Identify differentiation opportunities in a highly competitive EdTech landscape and help define our product positioning for the US
- Lead the initial design of new US programs from scratch, including outcomes definition, structure, projects, assessments and accreditation-ready components
- Coordinate the creation, adaptation, and update of online learning programs with internal teams (Learning, Multimedia, QA) and external US subject-matter experts

- Ensure programs meet quality, compliance, deadlines, and cost requirements, especially regarding accreditation standards
- Collaborate with partners (employers, institutions, etc) to enrich the relevance and authenticity of the programs
- Support continuous improvement by analyzing performance indicators (bookings, P&L, NPS, completion rate, job placement rate), market signals, and learner/employer feedback
- Contribute to the GTM strategy in partnership with Marketing and US Sales teams, ensuring programs are positioned clearly and competitively on the US market
- Provide insights and training to the commercial teams about program strengths, target learners, employer value, and competitive advantages

Our take
OpenClassrooms can trace its roots back to the moment that the advent of the internet burst open new education-to-employment pathways beyond traditional degrees and in-person professional training.
The company is now a category leader working with over 1500 companies as partners and its own courses that help users find work quickly at the biggest organisations in the world.
OpenClassrooms guarantees its users that they will find a job after taking their course and they are now looking to extend this offer in the gigantic North American market.
In France, people qualify for public subsidies that can fund professional education programs like OpenClassrooms courses. Those benefits will not necessarily be available in the company’s target areas of expansion and it will be interesting to see if their courses receive enthusiastic uptake all the same.
