Meet the team!

As part of Preply's Expansion program, you'll get to do something rare at this stage of a company: launch and scale a brand-new vertical from the ground up. Our mission is to grow Preply beyond core language learning starting with non-language subjects (NLS), which already make up a meaningful share of our business, backed by dedicated product investment that only started this year. You'll double down on that investment, working with a designer, UX research, data science support, and a set of engineers, in a startup-within-a-scaleup: high autonomy, high visibility with leadership, and one of the most exciting 0-to-1 opportunities in the company.

What you'll be doing:

• Take a 0-to-1 product from ambition to reality: own part of the strategy and roadmap for non-language subjects, and help define what Preply becomes beyond language learning.

• Shape the end-to-end tutor and learner experience for a brand-new vertical, starting from the top of the funnel and building outward.

• Partner closely with a designer, UX research, data science, and engineering to turn that strategy into shipped product.

• Stay scrappy, and think beyond your own product surface, across the wider ecosystem, both inside and outside product (marketing, supply, and more).

• Prioritize among competing opportunities and clearly communicate the reasoning behind the calls you make.

• Use qualitative and quantitative signals, including experiments, user research, and data, to validate your bets and course-correct.

• Act as the internal champion for NLS, building the case that Preply can grow a new vertical the way it grew languages, and put your fingerprints on Preply's next chapter.

• Define success for your area and use it to guide iteration, celebrate wins, and drive learning for what comes next.

What you need to succeed:

• Senior Product Management experience, ideally having built products 0-to-10 and 10-to-100, in a fast-evolving or ambiguous environment.

• Comfort with a roadmap that will keep evolving; NLS is a young, high-priority bet, not a mature, steady-state product area.

• Ability to think across the full tutor-learner funnel, not just one part of the product.

• Strong influence-without-authority: buy-in from supply, product, marketing and leadership without always having formal control over them.

• A growth mindset paired with real craft: comfortable being driven by data and revenue, while going deep enough to understand the subjects, verticals, and needs behind the numbers.

• Marketplace experience, ideally having helped take one from immature to mature.

• Comfortable operating with high visibility and communicating directly with leadership, not just reporting to them.

Why you’ll love it at Preply:

• An open, collaborative, dynamic and diverse culture;

• A generous monthly allowance for lessons on Preply.com, Learning & Development budget and time off for your self-development;

• A competitive financial package with equity, leave allowance and health insurance;

• Not in Barcelona? We offer an attractive relocation package to join us in our Preply Barcelona Hub

• Access to free mental health support platforms;

• Access to Gympass-partnered wellness and gym centers throughout Spain to promote and support well-being and physical health;

• The opportunity to unlock the potential of learners and tutors through language learning and teaching in 175 countries (and counting!).
