What the job involves
- We're looking to hire an Engineering Manager to lead our Growth team here at Teachable. The Growth team focuses on infrastructure, product improvements, and new features that aim to directly impact subscription conversion and revenue. It does so by leveraging two distinct cross-functional pods, Growth-Conversion and Growth-Revenue
- In partnership with Product Management and Product Design pod leadership, you will be responsible for defining the pod strategy, roadmapping, and prioritization of pods initiatives against business goals
- As a part of the Engineering Management group, you will help guide the department towards defining its technical vision and direction as well as establish processes and drive initiatives that result in technical, operational, and cultural improvements across Engineering at Teachable
- While you will not be expected to write critical path code, you will maintain technical leadership responsibilities in partnership with the senior engineers on your pods. You will achieve results by empowering your team of engineers and helping them to deliver quality work with a high degree of autonomy
- Manage, coach, and mentor 8 software engineers, across two pods, providing performance feedback, and helping them develop their careers
- Establish and improve department processes in all areas including software development, operational efficiency, and delivery to achieve operational excellence
- Partner with Engineering leadership to help determine Engineering department strategy, tackle team-wide inefficiencies, and promote a culture of continuous improvement
- Translate business metrics and goals into engaging and scalable infrastructure and features for your pods to execute on
- Lead successful development and delivery of pod projects and operations
- Engage in sponsorship of Engineering-wide guilds, projects, and activities

Our take
Teachable is an edtech platform helping users set up and manage their own video-content businesses. Running on a SaaS subscription model, Teachable gives teachers the tools to fully design, deliver, and market their own courses.
Teachable's main competitors are e-learning giants Udemy, Coursera, and Pluralsight. Whilst these companies are well-established and heavily financed, Teachable’s argument is that their comparatively restrictive course development tools make the site a bad option for teachers looking to run a business.
Teachable was acquired by Brazilian edtech platform Hotmart which were looking for a leg up in the North American market. With Teachable's sights also set on global expansion, this new access to the Latin American market may prove a savvy decision for both companies. The company launched several new features in 2023 and brand partnerships in 2024 which is set to further propel Teachable forward.
