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.
