Job description

Studocu was founded on the principle that equal access to study notes reduces inequality between students. Today, we make it easy for more than 45+ million students to share notes every month and use cutting-edge AI learning tools (like Quizzes, AI Chat, and Ask-AI) to help them ace their study goals. The product was a rocket ship from day one and has shown strong product-market fit on every continent with enviable YoY growth, making us a key player in the exploding EdTech space.


Discovery is the name of the historical “core product” team of Studocu. Its mission is to ensure our users have the best possible experience discovering the content and features they are looking for. The team is responsible for shaping the foundations of our platform as it is today. This is the team that shipped our general page hierarchy, the main Studocu landing page, the home page used by all registered users, our website search, the first version of our Mobile App… Can’t get more “core” than this!

As the Product Manager for Discovery, you are responsible for driving the vision of how users should navigate our content and many platform features. You will work closely with a cross-functional team of experts to ensure that we continuously delight our users. This means incrementally improving our general navigation and onboarding experience, our home page which serves as a content recommendation center, our search, and our content pages… But it also means driving innovative projects from scratch and taking risks when the payoff is big. Therefore this is a position with a strong “0 to 1” component, which means you will have to navigate uncertainty with a high level of freedom to identify and bring to life new opportunities, driven both by your proximity with users and your strong data acumen.

  • Live and breathe the needs of our target audience through targeted user research;

  • Be the Studocu expert on trends in content consumption, content-related UX, and relevant use of AI;

  • Synthesise insights into winning ideas and get the buy-in you need to bring them to life;

  • Use our abundance of data to your advantage and implement A/B tests to discover valuable insights and make data-driven decisions;

  • Work closely with designers, engineers and data scientists to ship a product that helps students all around the globe;

  • Coordinate product launches with our marketing, operations and support teams;

  • Have a ton of fun in the process!


Job requirements

  • At least 3+ years of experience as a PM;
  • Experience building customer-facing products from scratch;

  • Proven history of shipping products with general good UX or key “delighting” features;

  • Proven history of leading transverse projects involving several teams and contributing to the overall product vision of their company in a significant way;

  • Proven history of using data to guide strategy and product decisions;

  • Good commercial instinct; capable of prioritising based on impact on the bottom line;

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills (in English).


Why you'll love it here

  • You will be working for a global audience, creating an impact on the education of 50+ million students across the globe;

  • There will be a lot of data to work with and A/B tests to run at a great scale;

  • You will be part of a strong data driven team and a business growing at a fast rate, but maintaining a start-up culture;

  • Learn from 37+ different nationalities and more than 130 employees. Bringing your own ideas to the table is more than welcome;

  • You will be given the freedom to set your goals inside your own team, as you will be working in a bottom-up manner;

  • An awesome office in the center of Amsterdam with a huge garden, right next to the canals;

  • A free healthy lunch with our own chef and unhealthy snacks every day when in the office;

  • 24 holidays based on 40 hours per week. We also provide a public transport card and contribute to your pension scheme.
