About the role

Who We Are

Platzi is the leading online education platform in Latin America, helping students from all over the world acquire new, in-demand skills and stay up-to-date with the tech industry. Over 1.5M students come to Platzi to boost their careers by taking inspiring design, marketing, business and programming courses from top professionals.

At Platzi the Startup Team works at the cross roads between Education Team & Growth Team. The former has eight Faculties: Computer Science, Marketing, Design, Business, Professional Growth, English, Startups and Digital Content. They are in charge of making their Faculty grow by creating content, nourishing a community and building networking with experts and companies of their industries. While the Growth Team seeks to generate exponential student acquisition (B2B and B2C) forming hypotheses, running experiments to finally move the needle until the unit economics can be optimized.
