Meet the team!

At Preply, we are constantly running hundreds of AB tests, each with specific tracking and analytic requirements. This, along with the wide scope of our product and the sophistication of the tutor/learner interactions, makes for some rewarding challenges.

You will be embedded in cross-functional teams and work closely with product managers, tech leads, designers, etc. to provide our tutors and learners with the best product experience.

Your primary responsibility will involve overseeing and facilitating the global expansion of our company's payments infrastructure and operations, as well as managing the end-to-end evolution of our Subscription product. This entails guiding your squad in making informed decisions based on valuable data insights regarding user behavior and preferences, exploring alternative payment methods for learners, and reassessing our proposal for payouts.
