We’re redefining the future of AI-powered learning, and we need a Principal Product Manager to help lead the way. You’ll steward critical parts of our new product exploration and next-generation learning initiatives, guiding early-stage discovery, and the execution of bold 0 to 1 innovation bets.
What You Will Do:
- Lead strategy, experimentation, and end-to-end product execution for new innovation initiatives, taking ambiguous concepts from idea to in-market learning experiences.
- Define and validate hypotheses through rapid prototyping, creative MVPs, and structured bet testing across multiple learning experiences
- Collaborate closely with design, engineering, data, content, and AI teams to build imaginative, AI-powered learning experiences that drive engagement and meaningful outcomes.
- Develop ROI and measurement frameworks that link product performance to business impact, using qualitative insights and rigorous quantitative analysis to guide decisions.
- Own pricing, tiers, enrollment, and go-to-market motions in partnership with marketing, ensuring clarity and alignment on how new products launch and scale.
- Balance focused execution with long-term strategic thinking, adapting quickly as insights emerge and energizing teams through ambiguity and rapid iteration.
About You (Requirements):
- 8+ years of product management experience, with a strong track record leading 0 to 1 products and driving experimentation in high-velocity environments.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity, with resilience, proactive ownership, and a strong bias toward action.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to define KPIs, evaluate early signals, and connect product performance to measurable business and user impact.
- Excellent collaborator and communicator who builds strong partnerships with design, engineering, content, marketing, and AI teams.
- Deep curiosity for AI-powered experiences and strong instincts for creative product design; hands-on experience with AI/LLM-based products or novel interaction models is a plus.
