Job Overview

As Product Manager for B2C, you will own the product experience for ELSA's consumer learners — from the moment a user discovers and starts using ELSA to the point where they build a lasting learning habit, subscribe, improve their English, and continue their journey with the product.

You'll work closely with the Product, Engineering, AI/ML, Design, Marketing, and Data teams to build experiences that drive acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, learning outcomes, and subscription revenue.

This is a high-ownership role. You'll own key parts of the consumer product journey and use a combination of user research, behavioral data, experimentation, and business metrics to identify opportunities and prioritize what to build next.

You'll sit close to both user growth and revenue — your roadmap will directly influence user engagement, retention, conversion, and LTV.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end B2C product experience across onboarding, assessment, learning, practice, AI coaching, subscription, and long-term user engagement

• Build product experiences that turn new users into activated learners and help them quickly understand ELSA's value

• Design and optimize engagement loops and learning habits that keep users coming back consistently beyond their first few weeks

• Own key consumer product metrics including activation, DAU/WAU, engagement, retention, conversion, subscription revenue, churn, and LTV

• Partner closely with Growth and Marketing teams on acquisition-to-conversion funnels, identifying product opportunities to improve trial conversion and paid subscription growth

• Work with the AI/ML team to develop personalized learning paths, AI coaching experiences, recommendations, and adaptive learning features that improve both engagement and learning outcomes

• Use quantitative and qualitative insights to identify user pain points, diagnose drop-off points, and prioritize high-impact product opportunities

• Lead A/B testing and experimentation across onboarding, learning flows, engagement mechanics, paywalls, subscription journeys, and other key product surfaces

• Define and maintain a clear, well-prioritized product roadmap grounded in user needs, behavioral data, experimentation results, and commercial impact

• Partner with Engineering, Design, Data, AI/ML, and Growth to take products from discovery through launch, measurement, and iteration

• Establish and monitor product success metrics, ensuring new features deliver measurable improvements in user behavior, learning outcomes, and business performance

• Act as the voice of the consumer within the Product organization, synthesizing user research, reviews, support feedback, behavioral data, and market trends into concrete product decisions

• Communicate product strategy, priorities, trade-offs, and results clearly to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders

What You Will Have

Must-Haves

• 5+ years of product management experience in B2C digital products, consumer apps, SaaS, EdTech, subscription products, or other high-scale consumer experiences

• Demonstrated experience owning products with measurable impact on user growth, engagement, retention, conversion, or monetization

• Strong analytical instincts and hands-on experience working with product analytics such as Amplitude, Mixpanel, GA4, Firebase, or similar tools

• Strong understanding of consumer product funnels, including acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, conversion, churn, and LTV

• Proven experience designing and running A/B tests and product experiments, using data to make product decisions

• Experience building products that rely on personalization, recommendations, behavioral data, or adaptive experiences

• Strong customer empathy and the ability to translate user problems into clear product opportunities

• Excellent written and verbal English, with the ability to communicate product strategy and trade-offs clearly to senior leadership and cross-functional teams

• High ownership mentality — you take responsibility for product outcomes, not just product delivery

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with consumer subscription products, freemium models, or mobile apps

• Experience working on EdTech, language learning, AI-powered consumer products, or productivity apps

• Experience with growth product management, including onboarding, paywalls, pricing, conversion optimization, retention, and lifecycle engagement

• Experience with analytics and experimentation platforms such as Amplitude, Mixpanel, Firebase, GA4, Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, or similar

• Strong understanding of subscription economics, including conversion, churn, retention cohorts, ARPU, CAC, and LTV
