Senior Product Manager, edX Commerce

At 2U, we are all in on purpose. We are motivated by our mission – to make learning limitless– and connected by our shared passion to deliver world-class higher education at scale. As the parent company of edX, a leading online learning platform, 2U powers thousands of higher education offerings – from free courses to full degrees. Together with our college, university, and corporate partners, we are helping accelerate careers and transform lives. What We’re Looking For: 2U is searching for a Senior Product Manager to own the commerce capabilities roadmap for the edX Marketplace — a role at the direct intersection of product strategy, revenue growth, and platform modernization. Commerce is the transactional backbone of the edX user experience. Every enrollment, every purchase, every subscription activation flows through the capabilities this Sr. PM owns. As edX evolves its business model — expanding from a la carte course purchases into a subscription-based learning platform — the commerce foundation needs to evolve with it. This role owns that evolution. You will inherit a rich, sequenced commerce roadmap and take it from vision to reality across three meaningful phases of work: supporting the launch and maturation of edX's new consumer subscription offering from a commerce capabilities standpoint; leading the product requirements and roadmap to consolidate onto a unified commerce backend that supports both subscription and a la carte purchasing models; and then expanding the commerce capability set to unlock new revenue opportunities — including globalization, alternative payment access, promotional capabilities, in-cart personalization, and more. You will work closely with business, engineering, UX, data, finance, and legal teams to define requirements, sequence delivery, and ensure the commerce experience is seamless, scalable, and optimized for conversion. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with a direct line to revenue outcomes. Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To: Own the edX.org commerce capabilities product roadmap, from strategy through execution — including checkout, payment processing, billing, pricing, SKU management, and order management. Lead product efforts to support the launch and ongoing maturation of the edX consumer subscription offering, including subscription billing flows, upgrade/downgrade paths, and pricing tier management. Define and drive the product requirements to consolidate edX commerce onto a unified backend platform — enabling clean coexistence of subscription and a la carte purchasing models at scale. Develop and execute a sequenced roadmap of revenue-driving commerce features, including dynamic pricing, multi-currency and geopricing, financial assistance, promotional capabilities, bundling, abandoned cart recovery, omni-channel purchasing, and in-cart personalization. Partner with engineering leadership to manage the transition from the current commerce infrastructure to a modernized commerce backend, ensuring continuity of the learner purchase experience throughout. Define engineering backlog, technical requirements, and product features; lead cross-functional teams of engineering, data science, UX, and finance to design and deliver solutions. Develop and manage to commerce KPIs and revenue targets — including checkout conversion rate, cart abandonment rate, payment success rate, and revenue per visitor. Ensure commerce capabilities meet legal and compliance requirements across applicable markets, including payment regulations, VAT/taxation, and data privacy standards. Regularly measure and communicate impact and outcomes; adjust course based on data, experimentation, and market signals. Interact directly with learners, business stakeholders, and organizational leaders to understand emerging commerce needs and capture them in product memos, demos, and executive presentations.
