Job description
About Maven
Maven is reinventing our post-secondary education system from the ground up. We’re starting with practical, professional courses on key skills taught by leading experts in your field. Think: learning AI Product Management from a head of product at OpenAI or an engineering lead at Meta. Our cohort-based model means our engagement rates are 80-90% instead of the 5-10% from video-based learning. Maven’s marketplace has 500+ expert-led cohort-based courses, 70K+ student alumni, and 700K+ registered users. Today, we’re direct to consumer but eventually we’ll offer certificate programs, MBA-like programs, and sell directly to businesses.
We are founder-led; our CEO, Gagan, co-founded Udemy, and our CTO, Shreyans, was the first engineer at Venmo. Our business grew over 100% last year and is on track for profitability. We’ve raised $25 million from Andreessen Horowitz, First Round, and an incredible roster of angel investors.
Role details
We’re looking for a Product leader to help take our marketplace to the next level. This is ideal for a mid-career PM who wants to accelerate an already growing company.
We have a solid foundation, but have barely tapped the broader market of professional learners. We believe improving the core product experience (specifically course creation, conversion, and satisfaction) will unlock further growth.
There’s a lot of unexplored green space and you’ll help us scope opportunities, define the roadmap, and learn from what’s working. Questions you might explore:
- How do we help instructors confidently launch their course through our onboarding?
- How do we communicate value and credibility through the course landing page?
- How do we deliver transformative learning through the course tooling?
We’re a lean team of 3 product pods across the company, so you’ll have a wide and flexible charter. You’ll collaborate closely with a design lead, 2-3 senior engineers, and co-founders (CEO, CTO). You’ll report into the VP of Product.
Who you are
We are open to multiple types of backgrounds, but experience in a product role is required. Some expected skills:
- Product ownership - you’ve collaborated with designers, engineers, and marketers to brainstorm ideas, align on solutions, and launch impactful features.
- Product strategy - you’ve evaluated multiple opportunities, prioritized to create a roadmap, and delivered impact at scale.
- Analytical rigor - you’ve investigated open-ended questions, generated data insights, set goals, assembled dashboards, tracked attribution, and improved systems.
- User research - you’ve led UX research, discovered new feature opportunities, and found insights that translate into more user value.
- Scrappy experimentation - you’ve championed lightweight experiments and can own everything from PRD + prototype + copy + GTM to bring an idea to life.
- Entrepreneurial spirit - you’ve developed strong perspectives, adapted to new information, and a hunger to dig for wins.
Prior experience with marketplaces, edtech, or creator economy is a plus!
Team & culture
Maven is a small, high-trust, high-ownership team. We move fast, write often, and bias toward action. Everyone is hands-on — from the founders to the newest hire. Expect direct feedback, collaborative thinking, and a culture that prizes clarity, impact, and creativity.
We are fully remote, with no-meeting Wednesdays and quarterly meetups (biannual company offsites, and biannual PDE hackathons). Join us to do the best work of your career, and help build the world’s most dynamic expert-led learning brand.
Compensation
$170k - $210k in salary, with strong benefits, and equity.
Salary is open to review based on candidate experience; please apply if you know you’re a great candidate.
