AI is transforming how people learn, work, and grow, and the need for new skills has never been greater. Coursera brings trusted content and credentials from leading university and industry partners, while Udemy brings a dynamic skills marketplace and global network of real-world experts. By combining these strengths, we can connect more people and organizations to the skills they need, when they need them.

The Category Growth team drives commercial performance across Coursera's Consumer portfolio, identifying and capturing the highest-impact opportunities to grow revenue, conversion, retention, and lifetime value. We combine deep business analysis, learner and market insights, and cross-functional execution to accelerate category growth.

No. Coursera offers a choice of where to work, but its job postings also say the globally distributed team comes together intentionally for collaboration, complex problem-solving and key milestones. At least one current posting is explicitly hybrid: "This is a hybrid role in Denver or Austin." Check the location line on each posting before you apply.
Coursera lists home office reimbursement and connectivity support among its benefits, and its careers site says people working from home get the tools and support they need to build a home office. The company does not publish a dollar amount for either benefit.
Coursera's postings describe competitive, zone-based pay aligned to where you live. US postings name pay zones such as US-Z3 (which includes California, New York and Texas) and US-Z4 (which includes Florida, Arizona and Ohio). Total rewards also include bonus and RSU equity programs.
Coursera describes five stages: application, a recruiter chat, a hiring manager interview, panel interviews, and then offer and onboarding. The company says its interviews are structured and skills-based, and that it recruits across global locations.
Coursera covers tuition for degrees and extends learning access to employees' families. It also lists therapy, coaching, caregiving support, fertility benefits, an annual wellbeing stipend, generous parental leave, company-wide rest days and donation matching. Coursera does not publish figures for these benefits.
Coursera runs an annual Employee Engagement Survey. In 2025, 92% of employees took part, and the company says its engagement results beat the New Tech 1000+ benchmark.
