The role

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 personalised learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human-led, tech-enabled - and it's creating real impact.

We've just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human-led, AI-enhanced learning. Today, 100,000+ tutors teach 90+ languages to learners in 180 countries - and we're only getting started. As a category-defining company, we're shaping what the future of learning looks like at global scale.

Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.

Preply is an AI-native company, and the AI Platform is the foundation that underpins all of our AI initiatives. We're building it to power AI product features for learning and the marketplace, personalising the experience for our tutors and learners, and to be the single place for teams at Preply to build agentic systems and workflows. It will be pivotal in helping Preply move fast, automate and scale.

As the first product manager on the AI Platform, you'll define the mission, vision and strategy across traditional ML, LLM and agentic systems. This is a new, greenfield role: a great opportunity to make a product impact on a foundational platform. You'll make sure we build safely and responsibly, with the platform setting the standards, governance and guardrails for how Preply builds with AI.

The role focuses on building the product roadmap with multiple engineering teams, helping other product teams build faster, and measuring the platform's impact on how fast Preply builds, automates and scales with AI.

What you'll do

  • Define the mission, vision, strategy, and product roadmap for the AI platform across traditional ML, LLM, and agentic systems, working with multiple engineering teams

  • Increase the return on investment in ML and LLMs, and set the direction for building and scaling agents across internal and external workflows

  • Provide product teams with a trusted foundation to build, learn, and ship AI safely at scale

  • Implement safeguards and controls, including standards, governance, and guardrails for building, to ensure safe shipping

  • Reduce the cost of building and running AI across the company

  • Demonstrate and increase the ROI of AI investments, showing impact on business metrics and delivering platform metrics around speed, safety, activity, and cost

  • Collaborate with engineering managers and the engineering, data, and product chapters to identify opportunities and pain points, and understand the experience of teams building on the platform

Our Principles

  • Care to change the world - We are passionate about our work and care deeply about its impact to be life changing.

  • We do it for learners - For both Preply and tutors, learners are why we do what we do. Every day we focus on empowering tutors to deliver an exceptional learning experience.

  • Keep perfecting - To create an outstanding customer experience, we focus on simplicity, smoothness, and enjoyment, continually perfecting it as every detail matters.

  • Now is the time - In a fast-paced world, it matters how quickly we act. Now is the time to make great things happen.

  • Disciplined execution - What makes us disciplined is the excellence in our execution. We set clear goals, focus on what matters, and utilize our resources efficiently.

  • Dive deep - We leverage business acumen and curiosity to investigate disparities between numbers and stories, unlocking meaningful insights to guide our decisions.

  • Growth mindset - We proactively seek growth opportunities and believe today's best performance becomes tomorrow's starting point. We humbly embrace feedback and learn from setbacks.

  • Raise the bar - We raise our performance standards continuously, alongside each new hire and promotion. We build diverse and high-performing teams that can make a real difference.

  • Challenge, disagree and commit - We value open and candid communication, even when we don't fully agree. We speak our minds, challenge when necessary, and fully commit to decisions once made.

  • One Preply - We prioritize collaboration, inclusion, and the success of our team over personal ambitions. Together, we support and celebrate each other's progress.
