Senior Product Manager - Matching

We power people's progress.

At Preply, we’re all about creating life-changing learning experiences. We help people discover the magic of the perfect tutor, craft a personalized learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human-led, tech-enabled - and it’s creating real impact. So far, 90,000 tutors have delivered over 20 million lessons to learners in more than 175 countries. Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters.

Meet the team:

As a product team, our goal is to improve the life of our students and our tutors, drive amazing learning outcomes for our learners and enable our tutors to financially thrive through the platform. And we want to do this all while generating business value for Preply so we can help even more people! We strongly believe that we can't achieve business success without our students' and tutors' success.

You will be joining the Growth tribe, where we believe that long term learning commitment starts with a great connection. That’s why we aim to attract more learners and tutors to the platform, create personalized connections between them and make the start of their learning easy and exciting.

What you’ll be doing:

You will own one of the most challenging and rewarding areas of our business: Helping our learners find that one tutor that will help them achieve their goals. 
Unlike traditional eCommerce sites that focus on quick transactions, our approach is built on creating long term relationships between learners and tutors. This requires a deep understanding of customer behavior, a 360 view of the marketplace dynamics, a creative problem-solving mindset, and the ability to balance short-term wins with long-term outcomes.

If you thrive on solving complex problems, designing impactful experiments, and driving sustainable growth, this role is for you.

• Re-invent how learners find their perfect tutor: Transform our matching experience by deeply understanding learners’ motivations and barriers. Craft a loveable, intuitive, supportive, and inspiring journey that connects learners with the right tutor to meet their unique goals.
• Personalize the experience: No two learners are the same. Leverage cutting-edge technologies like ML and LLMs to build a highly tailored, curated experience that ensures every learner feels understood and supported in their learning journey.
• Empower tutors: Recognize that tutors are half of the perfect match. Develop tools and features that help tutors showcase their strengths and connect with the right learners. Think holistically about the needs of both learners and tutors to create a balanced, thriving marketplace.Build empathy for our tutors & learners: Talk to our tutors & learners to understand their deepest problems and needs. Combine that with market research to identify areas of growth and opportunity.
• Be an owner: Own features end-to-end including defining product requirements based on deep customer empathy, driving execution, making thoughtful product decisions and sharing insights and results throughout the company.
• Be biased for action: Balance strategy and developing conviction with quick and lean hypotheses testing to launch MVPs and iterate based on usage and feedback.
• Be data driven: Analyze and make nuanced use of data through our in-house tools to evaluate the business impact of new features and experiences.
• Be a leader: Inspire the team with a vision and work cross-functionally to bring the product to life. Become an authority on your product area and identify areas of opportunity through deep customer insight, research, and data.
• What this role is not: We are not looking for incremental thinkers or individuals who want a script to deliver against. We expect the successful candidate to truly empathize with our tutors and learners and to challenge the status quo to completely re-imagine the experience for them. 

What you need to succeed:

• Substantial experience in product management, preferably in marketplaces.
• Experience in being a hands-on leader to drive results both through direct product development and through strong end-to-end thinking and execution.
• Appreciation for building deep customer empathy as a critical lever to guiding product strategy.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams. You know how to influence people to get things done across any job function. People love working with you.
• Experience building a product in a fast paced, and rapid growth environment.
• Ability to support multiple initiatives at different phases of development
• Strong eye for design and desire to create loveable experiences.
• Strong analytical abilities and live and breathe data.
