Where we work

Udemy is a global company headquartered in San Francisco, with additional U.S. offices in Denver and Austin, and international hubs in Australia, India, Ireland, Mexico, and Turkiye. This is an in‑office position, requiring three days a week in the office (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and flexibility on Mondays and Fridays.

About your skills

  • Hands‑On Craft : You stay close to the work—quickly turning ambiguous problems into thoughtful sketches and prototypes.
  • Influence Without Authority : You build strong partnerships across disciplines and levels. You can align stakeholders and confidently advocate for great user outcomes.
  • Strategic Decision‑Making : You balance multiple inputs and perspectives, and you communicate decisions clearly to drive execution.
  • Coaching & Mentorship : You grow others by asking the right questions, offering feedback, and fostering ownership and confidence in your team.

About this role

As Principal Product Designer for Partnerships, you'll report to the Sr. Director of Product Design. You will lead a small team operating in an "agency" format to create designs for experiences that support specific partnership opportunities for Udemy. Programs that feature partner products, integrations that emphasize unique roles and role types, and even co‑branded relationships are just a few examples. You will collaborate with other product design teams, Marketing, Sales, and leadership to understand core strategic goals, propose key ideas through designs and visual mockups that pave the way for solidifying these partnerships and their product strategies.

This is a player‑coach role—you'll drive high‑impact design work yourself while mentoring and enabling others to do the same. You'll collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, marketers, and content strategists to define and deliver seamless experiences that help learners find the right content at the right time. Your work will shape how millions of people explore and grow their skills through Udemy.

What you'll be doing

  • Provide hands‑on design leadership for the Growth & Discovery team, shaping experiences that help learners explore and engage with content.
  • Partner with cross‑functional teams to ensure high‑quality, consistent user experiences across all platforms.
  • Drive end‑to‑end design—from research and ideation to prototyping and delivery—simplifying complex problems into elegant solutions.
  • Evolve and operationalize design systems and team processes that support scale and consistency.
  • Lead and mentor teams by organizing priorities and exploring a range of design ideas in order to provide different perspectives on solutions.
  • Champion the needs of learners and instructors through user‑centered design practices.
  • Contribute to recruiting, hiring, and onboarding design talent, building a high‑performing and inclusive team.
  • What You Bring

  • 10+ years of experience in product, UX, interaction and strong visual UI design for web and mobile platforms.
  • 5+ years of experience leading and mentoring product designers; experience building or scaling teams is a plus.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating design leadership and hands‑on work across complex, user‑facing digital products.
  • Deep craft expertise and a strong point of view on visual and interaction design quality.
  • Proficiency in modern design tools (e.g., Figma), design systems, prototyping, and usability testing.
  • Familiarity with growth design, funnel optimization, and discovery experiences.
  • Experience with e‑learning, AI‑enhanced products, or subscription services is a plus.
  • Excellent communication, documentation and cross‑functional collaboration skills.
  • Posting Date : October 21, 2025

    Application window : September 20, 2025 - 4th November, 2025

    Compensation

    Actual compensation for this role is based on several factors, including but not limited to job‑related skills, qualifications, experience, and specific work location due to differences in the cost of labor. In addition to a base salary, this role is also eligible for equity. Hiring Compensation Range : $196,000 — $245,000 USD.

    Why work here?

    You'll grow here. Learning is part of the job. You'll get full access to Udemy courses, a monthly UDay to invest in yourself, and a budget to spend on whatever helps you improve.

    AI is real here. We use it in the way we learn and the way we work. You'll have the space and tools to experiment, apply, and get better at using AI in practical ways.
