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.

• 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.
• 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.
