Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've shipped 10+ growth experiments and can articulate why most failed and what you learned
  • You think in systems: you love building frameworks, instrumentation, and decision-making processes that scale
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and thrive turning vague opportunities into testable hypotheses with real impact
  • You partner cross-functionally (Product, Data, Creative) and can translate between technical rigor and business outcomes
  • You use data to move fast but aren't paralyzed without perfect data; you balance speed and rigor
Won't Work If
  • You need hands-off autonomy and avoid cross-functional collaboration or stakeholder alignment
  • You prefer executing playbooks over designing new ones; this role is 70% experimentation, 30% execution
  • You don't care about metrics or can't articulate why an experiment matters to acquisition, retention, or revenue
  • You're risk-averse or uncomfortable shipping quickly and learning from failure; this is a high-tempo environment
