WE POWER PEOPLE’S PROGRESS. At Preply, we’re all about creating life-changing learning experiences. We help people discover the magic of the perfect tutor, craft a personalised learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human-led, tech-enabled - and it’s creating real impact. We’ve just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human-led, AI-enhanced learning. Today, 100,000+ tutors teach 90+ languages to learners in 180 countries - and we’re only getting started. As a category-defining company, we’re shaping what the future of learning looks like at global scale. Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day. THE ROLE This is an opportunity at Preply to lead the launch of Preply Pro - our AI-first freemium experience - and to own the strategic, cross-cutting projects that move the whole business forward. You will lead a portfolio of high-leverage initiatives that span multiple squads and tribes. These are the problems that matter most to Preply but don't sit neatly inside one team - commercial, cross-functional, and often ambiguous. It's some of the highest-visibility work at Preply and a core part of how we turn strategy into shipped, measurable outcomes. We're looking for someone who combines depth in product building with sharp commercial instincts, exceptional stakeholder management and disciplined execution - comfortable operating without a dedicated squad, and energised by bridging the gap between product management and program management to get big, ambiguous things over the line. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING DAY TO DAY - Own the Preply Pro launch end to end. Strategy, roadmap, execution, and commercial results for one of Preply's most important bets - across squads, learners and tutors, web and mobile. - Lead the commercial story. Own the business case, pricing and packaging, and the metrics that prove Pro is working. You bring commercial judgement to every prioritization call, not just product craft. - Work across squads and tribes. The highest-impact work rarely lives in one team. You'll shape and drive initiatives that cut across multiple squads and tribes, aligning people who don't report to you around a shared outcome. - Manage stakeholders like a pro. Keep senior stakeholders across Product, Design, Engineering, Marketing, Finance and Ops aligned and moving - building trust, surfacing trade-offs early, and driving decisions without formal authority. - Stay close to the customer. Keep deep empathy for learners and tutors at the centre of every decision, so every strategic bet solves real problems people feel. - Execute with discipline. While having access to product resources, you will operate without a dedicated squad - bridging product and program management to turn ambiguous, cross-functional work into clear plans, owners, and shipped results. - Go into the data yourself. Pull your own analyses on how learners and tutors interact with Preply to guide decisions. Especially on Pro, what drives conversion and retention, and where the experience is falling flat. WHAT YOU'LL NEED - Senior product craft. Substantial experience building and launching consumer-facing, mobile-first products. You have a keen eye for design and care about the details of a delightful experience. - Strong commercial acumen. You are energized by driving user and business outcomes - pricing, packaging, conversion, retention, unit economics - and can build and defend the business case for a launch like Preply Pro. - Deep customer empathy. You are genuinely curious about the learners and tutors who use Preply, and bring that into every prioritization call. - Deeply data-driven. You go into the data yourself, find the signal, and build a point of view from scratch. You're comfortable with experiment design and reading A/B results without fooling yourself. - Stakeholder management & influence. You build trust fast and align senior stakeholders across functions who don't report to you, turning competing priorities into shared decisions. - Strong communication. You can turn complex, ambiguous work into a clear point of view that drives decisions at the leadership level. - Disciplined execution. You turn ambiguous, cross-functional work into clear plans, owners, milestones and shipped outcomes - bridging product and program management. - Comfort with ambiguity. You can make fuzzy things measurable and drive alignment on what good looks like - and you're comfortable delivering without a dedicated squad, borrowing and influencing resources to get there. - Experience launching or scaling monetization related products OUR PRINCIPLES - Care to change the world - We are passionate about our work and care deeply about its impact to be life changing. - We do it for learners - For both Preply and tutors, learners are why we do what we do. Every day we focus on empowering tutors to deliver an exceptional learning experience. - Keep perfecting - To create an outstanding customer experience, we focus on simplicity, smoothness, and enjoyment, continually perfecting it as every detail matters. - Now is the time - In a fast-paced world, it matters how quickly we act. Now is the time to make great things happen. - Disciplined execution - What makes us disciplined is the excellence in our execution. We set clear goals, focus on what matters, and utilize our resources efficiently. - Dive deep - We leverage business acumen and curiosity to investigate disparities between numbers and stories, unlocking meaningful insights to guide our decisions. - Growth mindset - We proactively seek growth opportunities and believe today's best performance becomes tomorrow's starting point. We humbly embrace feedback and learn from setbacks. - Raise the bar - We raise our performance standards continuously, alongside each new hire and promotion. We build diverse and high-performing teams that can make a real difference. - Challenge, disagree and commit - We value open and candid communication, even when we don’t fully agree. We speak our minds, challenge when necessary, and fully commit to decisions once made. - One Preply - We prioritize collaboration, inclusion, and the success of our team over personal ambitions. Together, we support and celebrate each other's progress.
