What the job involves
- We are seeking an Operations Manager to oversee our Content Quality strategies. This role is pivotal in driving key strategic initiatives focused on elevating both the quality and the discoverability of the content we publish, optimizing the structure of our content database, maintaining a clean and high-value document corpus, and moderating all kinds of user-generated content
- On top of these high-impact initiatives, you will also be responsible for scaling the operations allowing us to maintain this level of quality despite Studocu’s fast-paced growth
- Setting and owning the content quality strategy across products and defining the quarterly goals
- Setting and owning the strategy to scale the operations and logics structuring our content on the website
- Partnering with product teams to deliver impactful optimisations boosting our content quality, its discoverability, and our SEO
- Taking a hands-on approach through deep analysis, content cleanups, product exploration and user behaviour investigation, to continuously improve content quality and structure
- Building foundational processes to maintain content quality and taxonomy at high standards in the next stages of growth
- Owning all key metrics measuring the quality and discoverability of our content
Our take
High quality notes and resources are necessary at every level of education, but at times personal notes can be incomplete or missing details. The founders of Studocu have created a platform that allows students to share notes, resources and study materials, that now holds materials from universities across the world.
With millions of users every month accessing the platform, there is undeniable demand for Studocu's services. Much of the company's popularity may be ascribed to its freemium model, which keeps 85% of its content free to access. The other 15% can be accessed by students who either upload their own study materials or pay a fee.
Studocu has seen impressive investment which has enabled it to expand substantially. It also acquired Studybees, its German counterpart, to support this expansion. In 2024, Erasmus University Rotterdam filed a lawsuit against the company which will be interesting to follow, as it surrounds whether Studocu should have to proactively screen materials for copyright breaches, rather than its current report/takedown approach.
