Job summary

Platzi is seeking a Course Director to own educational initiatives end to end, including courses, live classes, events, and product collaborations. You will decide what to teach, select teachers, and partner with Postproduction, Growth and Engineering to optimize learning on the platform.

You will run 2–3 initiatives in parallel at different stages, shaping launch timing, market demand, and data-driven outcomes to maximize impact.

Qualifications

• At least 4 years in education or digital content and creative production.
• You've made content yourself and it worked. You can show it and explain why it worked.
• Product mindset: you frame what you build as a hypothesis and you know what would prove you wrong.
• Creative judgment that's digital-first, with obsessive attention to detail, you can tell a format that engages from one that only looks reliable, and you catch what others miss before it ships.
• Comfortable using AI tools (LLMs, copilots, automation platforms) as part of your everyday workflow.
• Experience coaching teachers, creators or talent, with empathy and a high bar.
• Fluent English and Spanish.

Responsibilities

• Own your initiatives end to end: from deciding what's worth teaching, through production, to launch and what happens after.
• Design the experience, not just the content: formats, dynamics and projects that people finish.
• Run experiments on your courses and kill what doesn't work, even when it was your idea.
• Choose, onboard and coach teachers, and hold the standard when a class isn't good enough.
• Work with Engineering on what the platform should do differently for students to learn better.
• Own your numbers: started, enrollment and completion, and build with AI to make production faster without lowering the bar.
