Staff Product Manager, Coursera

• You have 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
• You have taken a product from zero to launch in an environment where the path wasn't clear. You had to define the problem, make the bet, build the team's confidence, and ship it. You can point to what worked, what didn't, and what you'd do differently
• You have a high bar across the board - from your own contributions to the people you work with, to the products you work on

Desirable

• At Coursera, we’re looking for inventors, innovators, and lifelong learners ready to shape the future of education
• You’ll help build global programs and tools that power online learning for millions turning bold ideas into real impact
• People who thrive here are customer-first builders who move fast, simplify ruthlessly, and iterate relentlessly on the metrics that matter
• 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
• 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
• 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 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

• We anticipate the application window will be open until 9/30/2026. Based on business needs, this opportunity may remain posted beyond or closed before the anticipated application window
