Product Manager, Discover
We are looking for a Product Manager to be a part of the founding team of an exciting new business initiative at Teachable!
Teachable is best known for its platform that allows Creators monetize their knowledge while owning their brand, customer relationship, and revenue stream. To supplement our core offering, we are experimenting with ways to further help our Creators to generate more demand. We recently launched Discover by Teachable and are now looking to build a proper team to take this experiment to the next level.
Our Product Managers work in cross-functional product engineering pods with a Product Designer and engineers. The PM’s core contribution to the pod is making sure it makes great decisions. They are the primary conduit of insight pertaining to the creation of customer value and capturing it into revenue. As a member of a pod, the PM’s job is to do whatever is necessary to advance the pod’s mission, both tactically and strategically.
The ideal candidate is a very entrepreneurial Product Manager that is not afraid to roll up their sleeves and bust through whatever obstacle faces the team. We treat this mission as a new startup incubated within Teachable, so the candidate should be ready to operate in the early stage mindset where new discoveries might change the game at any given point. This position is very well suited for a Product Manager that is scrappy and gets stuff done, while being conscious of trade-offs made.
They need to have a broad understanding of marketplace dynamics, affiliate marketing, and general eCommerce.
This position will report directly into the GM of Discover
