We’ve just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human‑led, AI‑enhanced learning. As a category‑defining company, we’re shaping what the future of learning looks like at global scale.
Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.
The FP&A team owns the financial truth of the business: the monthly update to the CFO and leadership, the long‑range plan, and the ad‑hoc analyses that drive real decisions. The Product org is one of the most analytically complex domains in the business, sitting at the intersection of revenue, experimentation, unit economics, and strategic investment. This is a senior ownership role. You'll be the primary Finance partner to Product: embedded in their planning rhythms, trusted by their senior leadership, and accountable for turning product decisions into financial conviction.
Domain leadership – Own Product Finance end to end and be the senior Finance voice in product planning forums.
Core product finance – Own the financial model and forecast for core product areas, and stress‑test ROI assumptions under different investment scenarios.
Product ROI measurement and experimentation – Own how we measure product investment returns, translating experiment lift and cohort data into validated, annualized revenue impact.
Portfolio management and planning – Maintain a financial view of the full product investment portfolio and lead the Product workstream in AOP and LRP.
Strategic product investments – Build the financial thesis and models for high upside, high uncertainty bets like non‑language subjects and AI‑assisted learning, and define when to scale, hold, or pull back.
Business partnership and executive reporting – Be product leadership’s trusted Finance partner, and own the materials that bring CPO and CFO reviews clear, action‑oriented narratives.
