About the Team:
At Quizlet, we believe in fostering a lifelong love for learning by making it fun to practice and master any subject. The growth team advances the company’s mission by bringing Quizlet to students and teachers in the U.S. and across +150 countries. We do so through three core teams, including Acquisition, Activation & Retention, and International Growth.
This high-performing, business-aligned team is responsible for attracting new users to sign up on the platform, converting those users into studiers, and generating features that encourage users to come back to study more often on the web and our mobile app. This team is also responsible for making sure that new features developed by our core product teams have the best chance of reaching their intended audience. We serve the organization by creating sustainable pathways for growth, through which we can help students achieve their goals and reach more students across the globe.
About the Role:
As the Sr. Director of Product Management, Growth, you’ll lead Quizlet’s efforts to expand our reach and impact by growing our user base, both through optimizing existing growth levers and by discovering entirely new ones. You’ll own the strategy and execution across the full user growth funnel, from acquisition to activation, and be tasked with pushing past the obvious to uncover bold new ways to bring learners to Quizlet. This is a highly cross-functional role, requiring close collaboration with engineering, design, marketing, and data teams to turn insights into scalable impact.
We’re happy to share that this is an onsite position in our San Francisco office.

- Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of product managers focused on experimentation and user impact
- Collaborate with cross-functional partners to ship high-impact features and experiments that directly drive user growth
- Evangelize a culture of curiosity, speed, and data-informed decision-making across the organization
What you bring to the table:
- 10+ years in product management, including 5+ years leading growth-focused teams
- Bachelor's degree in a technical, business, or related field
- Proven ability to drive both iterative optimization and net-new growth initiatives
- Strong analytical and experimentation chops—you know how to define and move key metrics
- Experience launching new growth channels or product surfaces from 0 to 1
- Comfortable operating at both strategic and executional levels in a fast-moving environment
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience in edtech, consumer platforms, or mobile-first products with massive user scale
- Familiarity with emerging channels (e.g., AI-powered discovery, embedded distribution, community-driven growth)
- An eye for intuitive UX and a mind for user psychology
