What You'll Do
- Design and execute growth experiments across channels to increase lead generation; test hypotheses, measure results, report learnings, and build compounding growth loops.
- Architect end-to-end, repeatable growth systems—owning tooling, automations, analytics, and the marketing-to-sales-to-customer-success handoff to reduce friction through the funnel.
- Operate with high agency and an AI-native workflow: take ownership of outcomes (not tasks), use modern AI tools daily to move faster, and act as a power user of the product to provide frequent product feedback.
Who You Are
- Strong critical thinker with a systems-oriented mindset; able to form original hypotheses about markets and channels and focus on loops, leverage, and compounding outcomes.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration; demonstrates a bias toward action and can ship, measure, learn, and iterate quickly without needing a prescriptive playbook.
- Clear communicator and AI-native builder; has completed an end-to-end project using tools such as Claude Code (or similar) and can explain decisions, progress, and results with clarity.
