We help people discover the magic of the perfect tutor, craft a personalised learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human‑led, tech‑enabled – and it’s creating real impact.
We’ve just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human‑led, AI‑enhanced learning. As a category‑defining company, we’re shaping what the future of learning looks like at integral scale.
Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.
This includes everything from onboarding and offboarding, compliance, total rewards and benefits, HR systems and analytics, as well as key People projects related to employee engagement, career development and frameworks, amongst others.




We are looking for a strategic and hands‑on People Operations Lead to join our People Operations team. What you build here will directly shape how Preply scales, and how our people experience that journey at a company redefining education on a global scale.
Lead end‑to‑end employee lifecycle processes globally – onboarding, offboarding, contract changes.
Design and scale People Ops processes and policies suited to a fast‑growing, distributed global organisation.
Coordinate with Legal, Finance, IT, and People teams to ensure correct documentation and processes.
Coach and develop team members, setting clear expectations and supporting high performance.
Drive a high‑quality employee experience through efficient, scalable, and people‑centered operations.
Design and own automation across People Ops workflows – identify high‑frequency manual processes (onboarding triggers, contract generation, offboarding checklists) and eliminate them through tooling or scripted logic.
