What we do

At Perlego, there are over 100 of us working hard to make education accessible to all. We believe access to good quality affordable learning unlocks potential. Knowledge should be more accessible, not locked behind sky-high price tags.

Last year, we expanded our library to make over 1 million books affordable for learners, earned a 100% Gold ASPIRE rating for accessibility and reached over 15 million people. The next stage of Perlego is twofold: 1) expand our support to students and publishers globally, and 2) build a product that goes beyond the book, a platform that helps students study smarter and educators teach more effectively.

Act as a key point of contact for publisher first-line support; supporting with queries and looking for opportunities to improve the publisher experience
Look after content auditing and activation, co-developing automated processes to help our content operations scale.
Collaborate across the business, from Content through to Product and Engineering, as well as Finance, SEO, Sales and Marketing.
Responsible for acquiring key content from new and existing publishers of strategic importance.
