Job Overview

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.

• 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.
