Principal Product Manager, Tutor Engagement

Overview:

Nerdy is on a mission to transform the way people learn through technology, and as the Principal Product Manager of Tutor Engagement, you will be at the forefront of this mission. In this high-impact role, you will own the end-to-end tutor experience once they are on our platform – effectively treating it as your own business. You’ll define the vision and strategy to drive tutor success that includes building product experience, communications strategy, effective tooling and ensuring right support when needed. You’ll be ensuring that tutors are empowered to deliver excellent learning experiences to students.

We operate with a startup pace and mentality. That means you thrive in an environment of ambiguity, rapid experimentation, and continuous iteration – comfortably failing forward and learning quickly to find what works. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Design, Data Science, Engineering, Operations) and engage with senior leaders to innovate and iterate on tutor-focused products and programs. This is a mission-driven, energizing opportunity to combine technology, data, and empathy to delight tutors and help shape the future of online learning.

We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you’d bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.

Fortune favors the bold. Join us.

How we compete:

• AI-Native at every level
  From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you’re not wielding AI, you’re not done.

• Free-market rigor
  Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.

• Full-stack ownership
  You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.

  Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both what you achieve and how you achieve it: living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded.

• Relentless exploration
  Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way.

• Is Apolitical
  You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.
