About the Role
Perlego is on a mission to make education accessible to everyone. Dubbed "The Spotify for Textbooks," we give learners worldwide unlimited access to over 1.5 million ebooks and educational resources from 9,000+ leading publishers, and we partner with hundreds of universities, businesses, and training providers to put a library in every learner's pocket. The Platform Experience (PEX) squad is the custodian of the Perlego user experience after a user has signed up.
Responsibilities
You will own the discovery, shaping, proposal and delivery of bets in the Platform Experience squad end to end and you will connect the work to the numbers the squad is judged on.
•Analysing and synthesising quantitative and qualitative evidence, and communicating what it means
•Placing the impact of the work in company context: which squad KPI moves, roughly how much, and why that matters
•Briefing engineers, designers and copywriters, with light review
•Stakeholder engagement on your bets, seeking input and supporting decisions with evidence
•Building understanding of users, the industry and the squad's problem space
•Applying the agreed product tools and methods with limited support
You run discovery and delivery for your bets with a Product Lead or Head of Product reviewing rather than directing. You bring your squad's input into the roadmap cycle. You log weekly progress and flag your own risks.
Requirements
•2+ years owning product. You have shipped things that changed a number, and you can say which number and by how much.
•Experience in building habit forming experiences and driving weekly and monthly engagement metrics.
•Genuinely quantitative. There is no dedicated Data Analyst attached to your squad, so you need to be comfortable with digging in to data and BI tools.
•You can read an experiment result, and you can size an opportunity yourself.
•You brief engineers and designers and the brief holds up under questioning. Scope, edge cases, and what is deliberately out and a clear rationale for why.
•You talk to users regularly, and you use what you hear to shape what you build rather than to validate it afterwards.
•You make trade-offs and say what you traded away. Nobody will hand you a prioritised list. You build it, defend it, and own what happens.
Conditions
•Hybrid Working: 2 days per week in our London office.
•Salary: £55,000 - £60,000 per annum
•Learning & Development: Personal L&D budget, dedicated Learning Time, and regular Hackathons.
•Time Off: 22 days annual leave (+1 per year of service), company closure between Christmas and New Year, and flexi bank holidays.
•Home office budget: Budget to help you set up and to maintain!
•Health & Wellbeing: Private medical, optical, and dental cover via Vitality, plus Cycle to Work scheme.
•Work-from-overseas flexibility, sabbatical options, and matched parental leave.
•Secondment to a bold bet is possible.
