Teachable is looking to expand our product team and bring on a Technical Project manager! We’re a small, tight-knit team of smart people who like to get a lot done with minimal overhead.

The Role

As our first Technical Project Manager, you will be tasked with leading collaboration between various teams to drive technical solutions on a product that impacts thousands of instructors and millions of students. Working across teams but interfacing closest with engineering, you will work proactively to improve our development and internal processes around bug prioritization, internal tool building, and documentation. Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to further define the boundaries of your role and be uniquely situated to fundamentally impact our product and processes.

Responsibilities

As a member of the Product team, you will work closely with Engineering, Customer Operations, and Finance teams to:

  • Manage, maintain, and improve our bug triage and prioritization processes.
  • Oversee the delivery of cross-team compliance projects (as an example, the collection of W-9 forms from the thousands of instructors making money on our platform).
  • Optimize the efficiency of Teachable’s staff by helping us build better internal tools.
  • Improve the health and usage of our project management tools.
  • Drive internal documentation efforts by identifying recurring actions.

This is an extremely important role to the company and involves a rare combination of humility, flexibility, and agility.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of relevant agile project management experience, preferably at a Series A or above SaaS startup company.
  • Experience with project management tools such as Trello, Asana, JIRA and/or GitHub.
  • Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and/or other programming languages.
  • Strong analytical, problem solving, and planning abilities.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work well with ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.
  • Willingness to wear multiple hats and go beyond your own role.

Why Us

Teachable is an instructor-focused online course platform which lets anyone monetize their expertise across a wide range of topics, from iOS development to watercolor painting to card tricks. We’ve had triple-digit YOY growth, and our thousands of instructors have earned more than $100M to date. We’ve also raised $8.5M from a group of top venture investors.

At Teachable, you will have the freedom to do your job and will be an integral member of our tight-knit team. If you want to do something you believe will help us grow, you don’t need to ask a hundred people for permission. And you can do it all in our beautiful office just west of Union Square, with great benefits and perks.

You’ll also get access to an ever-growing base of online educators, and your work will directly impact hundreds of thousands of online educators, entrepreneurs, and creatives.

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!

Recruiter

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.
