At Skillshare, we’re building a global community of curious, lifelong learners. Our high-performing web team builds product that allows our users to access learning opportunities from anywhere, seamlessly interact with each other on the platform, and discover the value of Skillshare. We’re now looking for a Director of Product to lead and grow this effort as we scale the business.

This cross-functional team drives immense impact for the company – and you’ll be leading the charge, working directly alongside our CPO. We’re excited to welcome someone who can craft a strong vision for the future of Skillshare with community top of mind. This role will manage multiple product managers and pods but should also be comfortable being an independent contributor and leading a pod.

The best products are only as good as the people behind them. We have an innovative, mission-driven team at Skillshare and would love to hear from you if you’re interested in working alongside us.

What you'll do:

  • Lead and grow a team of talented product managers
  • Work directly with product, engineering, and design leaders to develop ongoing strategy and roadmaps for each pod, in addition to your own
  • Foster a culture of impact, discipline around KPIs, rapid iteration, and harnessing insights from marriage of data and user feedback
  • Set the teams strategy for optimizing user experiences to drive the desired action for users within these segments
  • Drive long term product strategy for Skillshare, with a keen eye on how to build online communities
  • Be accountable for key business metrics and analyze the success of your features (especially through the lens of engagement and retention)

Why we're excited about you:

  • 8+ years experience in a product management role
  • Proven ability to lead teams and work cross-functionally with product, engineering, analytics and marketing in a highly collaborative environment
  • Technical enough to talk shop with and gain the respect of world-class engineers... and comfortable communicating with non-technical teams and leaders across the company
  • Creative problem solver, who is able to incorporate quantitative data, qualitative insights, and macro business trends to pivot and iterate on original ideas
  • Deep understanding of value drivers in recurring revenue business models
  • Passionate about building products for everyone, not just yourself
  • Experience building an online community is a plus

Why you're excited about us:

  • Impact: You’ll have the opportunity to lead a team, roll up your sleeves, and work directly alongside our CPO to build the future of Skillshare.
  • Growth: Our platform reaches all corners of the globe, and you’ll be shaping and building the web experience for our users (with room to take on more responsibility over time).
  • Our team: We have a passionate, talented team that is a lot of fun to work with.
  • Our mission: We’re doing work that matters – connecting lifelong learners around the world and empowering them to pursue their creativity.
  • Flexibility: We believe that doing your best work means living a full life. That means different things for everyone, so we optimize for trust, invest to support remote teams, have an unlimited vacation policy (with a required minimum!), and encourage work-life balance.
