Maven is building the university of the future - empowering the world’s experts to offer live courses directly to their students. Courses on Maven have community at their core, focus on active learning, and are available anywhere in the world. We're the leading marketplace for cohort-based courses, but are still early enough for you to make a big impact.

Our team has raised $25 million from incredible investors including Andreessen Horowitz, First Round, Naval, and more. We've launched hundreds of successful courses and helped instructors of all backgrounds make a living teaching the things they know best.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with product managers and engineers to understand user needs and define product requirements
  • Influence the shape of the product with research and data while executing designs using wireframes, user journeys, cross-platform interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity visual designs
  • Conduct customer research and usability testing to validate design concepts and gather feedback
  • Partner with engineers and others to ensure a high-quality implementation
