Teachable is looking for an experienced Product leader to deepen our ongoing commitment to helping our customers build and operate their small knowledge-based businesses.


In partnership with a Director of Engineering, you will be responsible for the features and functionality in our platform we lovingly call “Core”. This encompasses everything from managing knowledge content (online courses), student enrollment, customer management, assignments / quizzes, interaction capabilities, interoperability and more.


Our development teams are structured into cross-functional Product Engineering pods each consisting of 4-6 engineers (including an engineering lead or manager), a Product Manager, a Product Designer. You will oversee multiple pods spanning customer-facing feature development, supporting your engineering leads and managers and ensuring the successful execution of their initiatives and operations.


On the strategic level you will be responsible for developing the overall direction and roadmap for our Core product capabilities in alignment with your engineering partners, and other internal departments. You will also be expected to continue building your team’s capabilities as your area of the business grows by hiring the right people and structuring the teams to be as effective as possible.


You are also expected to partner with the VP of Product and other Director-level leaders in the Technology organization to build towards our shared vision and strategy, and develop the Core crew’s strategy as a key leader.

  • Collaborate with the rest of Product Engineering leadership to ensure we’re building towards a unified product vision with uniform methodologies.
  • Keep the Core crew’s primary partners informed, engaged and excited about the development of our Core offering.
  • Bridge tactics and strategy, and connect the dots between the execution of multiple cross-functional Product Engineering pods.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A Product leader with a proven track record both as a solid individual contributor, and more strategic leader
  • At least 5-10+ years of experience in software products, preferably with the software-as-a-service business model
  • A people manager who has managed teams of at least 3-5 highly skilled experts successfully
  • Strong domain knowledge of business workflow and content products and at least 3-5 years of experience working in a Product Management / leadership capacity in them
  • Experience working in growth stage ($10MM - $100MM ARR) companies
  • Solid financial and business strategy skills, and a willingness to dive into a profit & loss statement to drive strategy, even while keeping the customer as their primary focus
  • Thrives in ambiguity and can independently make forward progress in situations when given minimal guidance

An Insider's view of Teachable

What are some social events your company does?

Teachable has company-wide events that are creator based throughout the year! Once I attended an event where we were able to receive a natal birth chart reading. As an astrology enthusiast, this was very memorable for me because I got to understand more about my inner self/personality and even suggested the creator's business to one of my friends!

How does the company support your career growth?

I've had great support from my managers, who have talked with me about my areas of interest, helped me identify strengths and weaknesses, and have suggested resources for professional development. And it's exciting to see that as the company has grown over the years that I've been here, new roles, positions, and pathways continue to be created.
