About this role: 
In this pivotal role, you will set the strategic vision for Coursera's search experience across our diverse product suite by working collaboratively with cross-functional teams to ensure a seamless, personalized and ML/AI driven learner experience.  The best candidates are extremely hands‑on, obsessed with the learner journey, and opinionated about how AI can make finding the right course, credential, or skill path effortless for a global, multilingual audience.

You will collaborate with engineering, design, research, data science, ML,  and university partnership teams to contribute to the development of your product roadmap.

You've built consumer products at scale - ideally high‑intent search or marketplace experiences and deeply understand what makes discovery intuitive, trustworthy, and indispensable.  You've shipped experiences people love and return to.  You bring an "owner" mindset: biased toward action, a great collaborator, a master simplifier, and someone who pushes towards clarity and delivery.  You are user-first, understand and speak in terms of user value propositions, and creatively inspire users to try the product.  You hold a high bar across the board - from your own contributions to the people you work with, to the products you work on.

What you'll be doing: 
Set the vision for next-generation capabilities that help users discover the right learning content by creating a compelling, hyper-relevant and personalized search experience 
Own conversational search across Coursera, working with other product teams to ensure a seamless and integrated AI experience for learners throughout the learner journey

Work closely with Marketing and other Product teams to align conversion strategies with overall business objectives and revenue targets

Qualifications:

2+ years of PM experience working on search, personalization, or recommendation features 
Proven track record of successfully delivering complex and impactful product initiatives from ideation to launch 
Experience using a combination of quantitative (A/B testing and multivariate experimentation) as well as qualitative research methods to prioritize and validate ideas

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
