Staff Product Manager, Partnerships

Role Description

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.
• Revenue Awareness: You understand how the products you build connect to the business, drawing a line from product decisions to commercial impact.
• Customer-Centric Curiosity: Exhibit deep curiosity to understand customers and all elements influencing their experience.
• Thriving in Ambiguity: Operate effectively in uncertain, fast-changing environments.
• Balanced Skills vs. Domain Experience: Strong intellectual capacity, curiosity, proactiveness, and solid foundational product skills enable quick adaptation.
• Strategic & Tactical Agility: Seamlessly switch between defining long-term vision and deep-diving into execution details.
• IC Excellence: 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.
• Speed of Innovation: Demonstrates the ability to rapidly prototype, test, and iterate solutions.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive product strategy and own the roadmap for a high priority area of the Coursera platform.
• Own the end-to-end content creation experience for Udemy & Coursera.
• Make independent product calls in a fast-moving environment.
• Translate customer insights and market trends into integrated solutions.
• Lead execution from ideation and analysis through development and launch.
• Partner with Engineering, Design, and Data teams to deliver AI-powered product features.
• Leverage data and customer feedback to inform decisions and continuously improve.
• Mentor peers and contribute to building a high-performing product organization.

Qualifications

• You have experience building, using, or experimenting with AI-driven products.
• You have taken a product from zero to launch in an unclear environment.
• You have a high bar across the board - from your own contributions to the products you work on.

Preferred Qualification

• You are the product leader who inspires colleagues to think bigger.
• You have a strong aesthetic sensibility and deep respect for craft in UX.
• You understand creator psychology and have shipped products that creators want to use.
• You are commercially literate and can connect product choices to revenue outcomes.
• You are energized about solving hard problems and navigating ambiguity.
• You are deeply curious about customers and the positive impact your product could have.
• You feel a sense of responsibility and urgency to invent the future of AI.

Compensation

• US Zone 2 - 4: $212,000 – $265,000 USD.
• Salary is just one component of Coursera’s total rewards package.
• All regular employees are also eligible for a bonus program and equity in the form of RSUs.
