Meet the team!

The Supply Engagement team owns how Preply changes tutor behaviour at scale, through three channels: communications, community, and academy. You'll report directly to the Senior Manager of Supply Engagement and be part of a team of six.Some quarters you'll be making already-set plans happen operationally, for example a webinar series, networking event or a contest in the community. Other times, something new lands with no owner yet, and you take it on fully, end to end. Every project exists for one reason: to make tutors happier, help them succeed, or surface what they're telling us so we can improve our product, programs, and policy.

What you’ll be doing

What you'll be doing:

Own the operational part of all tutor-facing programs and projects end to end, for example running the annual tutor conference and the team's webinar series: source speakers, coordinate logistics, track what worked

Drive new engagement projects end to end: From ideation to delivery

Own the operational side of community activities: contests, awards, and story collections that keep tutors engaged

Support Academy's LMS migration: coordinating the content shift, reviewing content, and building an AI workflow to speed it up

Run focus groups, light research and data analysis to improve tutor experience across the channels and Preply

Set up a reporting cadence that tracks how your programs are performing

The outcomes you'll own:

Tutor engagement programs that deliver real value to the tutors who take part, across community, learning, and product launches.

Tutor sentiment and trust: tutors feel motivated and want to keep coming back

Tutor voice reaching the people who need it, so research and focus groups shape real decisions

An operational backbone solid enough that the team moves fast and every program lands on time, whatever the scale

What you need to succeed

Hands-on experience planning and running complex events or programs that reached thousands of people, inside a team with real stakeholders and dependencies, not a small pilot managed informally

5+ years of experience is a reference point, but what matters more: have you actually planned, run, and landed something like this yourself

Comfortable both executing someone else's plan with precision and taking full ownership of a project that has no plan yet

Ability to build working trust with a new team fast, repeatedly, without formal authority to fall back on

Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills, internal teams and external partners

Analytical skills: comfortable pulling insight from research and focus groups, and using data to measure whether a program actually worked

Strong written and spoken communication skills, with sharp judgment on tone

Ability to build AI systems and workflows that replace repetitive manual work

Proven experience in ...
