A lot about you
You get people. You have a unique blend of skills in developing deep consumer insights, competitive intelligence, and product innovation to deliver the right experiences for peoples’ daily lives that achieve our goals to acquire, engage, and retain them.
You get growth. You are a consumer-focused, data-driven, growth-driving, and creative product leader who has lead Growth strategies, roadmaps, scrums, and final product rollouts, across the analytics/insights, acquisition/referrals, activation/onboarding, and adoption/retention loop.
You get mobile/digital. You have significant product experience – and a strong understanding of the mobile/digital ecosystem – from apps to advertising and analytics. You have successfully applied the latest mobile/digital tools to grow user reach, retention, referrals, and revenue.
You get it done. You have demonstrated success building and leading teams, managing and mentoring people, and working with analytics, product, design, engineering, marketing, and partnership/distribution teams to execute effective growth ‘hacking’, product management, and product marketing strategies.
Your day

• Create the overall Growth product vision, strategy, roadmap, requirements, and release schedule to drive user and usage growth.
