Ello is a AI-powered reading and math app. Built for ages 4–9, and shaped entirely around your child. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Kids love Ello and parents trust it. The next thing to build is the business that carries it to every child who needs it; this role is for that challenge. You'll own everything to do with how Ello makes money: what's free and what's paid, how we price and package, the paywall, trial conversion, renewals, dunning, cancellation, and winback. You'll build the monetization plan with our Head of Growth and CEO.
What they're looking for
- You've owned consumer subscription revenue on mobile, on both iOS and Android. For most people that means six or more years as a product manager, though we care about what you've done more than the years
- You've run paywall and pricing experiments yourself, and can give us the before and after numbers on a few of them, along with what you got wrong
- You can build the subscription model yourself and know what moves it: LTV, ARPU, trial-to-paid, involuntary churn, payback period
- You pull your own data. SQL or equivalent, well enough to define a metric, build a funnel and check a result without waiting for anyone
- You know your way around app store billing well enough to write the spec, including StoreKit and Play Billing, receipt validation, and subscription state
- You use AI seriously in your own work, hands-on rather than overseeing other people doing it, and can be specific about what's changed in the last six months
More about this role
Our mission at Ello is simple and urgent: maximize the potential of every child, everywhere. We're building the world's first AI teacher to close that gap: one that listens, speaks, adapts, and inspires, just like the best human educators.
Our first product, Read with Ello, is already helping tens of thousands of kids each week learn to read. It listens as they read aloud, offers support when they stumble, and generates magical, personalized stories. It works, and kids love it.
Now, we're scaling that success into something even bigger: a complete AI teacher that can help children learn far beyond reading. Our new app combines language, speech, and memory to deliver interactive learning for kids worldwide; check it out here . We're moving fast: we ship weekly, test directly with kids, and push the boundaries of what's possible with AI in education.
With the resources of the world's top investors and the heart of a public benefit corporation, we're here to revolutionize how children learn globally. Featured on TIME's Best Inventions and Fortune's Change the World, Ello is a small, mission-driven team taking on one of the most important challenges of our time: to democratize...
