General Manager, Professional Learning

Role Description

We are looking for an exceptional General Manager — a builder-leader who owns outcomes, not just manages work. This is not a traditional product or project management role. It sits at the center of our transformation to an AI-native operating model, leading a small, cross-functional pod accountable for growing the individual learning business:

• Evolving the product
• Expanding revenue
• Driving AI adoption
• Continuously improving the experience for the learners we serve

You won't delegate execution from a distance — you'll be in the work alongside your pod, setting direction and driving delivery from start to finish. The best candidates combine the instincts of a product leader, the discipline of a business manager, and the mindset of a designer.

What You'll Do (The Impact)

• Own the Outcome: Hold end-to-end accountability for your pod's results — product milestones, revenue targets, and customer impact. You measure success in delivered outcomes, not completed activities.
• Translate and Execute: Translate the company's vision into your pod's product roadmap and delivery plan. You resolve competing demands and give your pod the clarity they need to move fast without second-guessing direction.
• Own Positioning and Messaging: Develop and maintain segment-specific positioning, ICP definitions, buyer personas, and messaging frameworks.
• Design the Work: Before your pod builds anything, you've defined the problem, pressure-tested the solution space, and structured the work for speed and quality.
• Lead Voice of Customer and Market Intelligence: Run VOC and VOM programs that translate real buyer signals into sharper positioning and stronger product direction.
• Lead from the Front: Coach and direct pod members day to day with the authority of a player-coach.
• Drive Revenue: Own the commercial outcomes for your pod's domain. You connect product and content decisions directly to revenue and growth metrics.
• Navigate the System: Build strong working relationships with partner groups to align on standards, unblock dependencies, and move fast.
• Build AI-Native: Champion the active use of AI and automation tools inside your pod.
• Communicate the Story: Represent your pod's work, decisions, and outcomes clearly to senior leadership and cross-functional partners.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field — product, design, business, technology, communications, or related — or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• 5–8 years of meaningful hands-on experience in product management, cross-functional program leadership, or a growth-oriented leadership role.

Requirements

• Must be able to work from home during core US business hours.
• Must be located in the United States and be legally eligible to work for us without sponsorship.
• Must have the ability to fulfill the job requirements with or without reasonable accommodations.
• Travel is required for an all-company meeting, and may be required once or twice per year for team or project meetings.

Benefits

• Full-time W2 position, work core business hours in your time zone.
• Work from home with a company-provided MacBook and internet stipend.
• 21 days of flexible PTO + your birthday + holidays (with flexible substitution).
• ½ day Summer Fridays Memorial Day to Labor Day.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision group health insurance, flexible spending accounts, and more.
• 401k match, professional development budget, robust wellness programs, pet insurance and many more perks and benefits.
