The Challenge

Dialpad is the AI-powered comms platform trusted by 50K+ companies (Netflix, Uber, Randstad). Own the entire self-service growth engine—from signup to expansion—and report directly to the COO with real leverage to move revenue.

Your Mission

First 3 Months
1

Audit and map the full self-service funnel (acquisition → activation → expansion → retention); identify top 3 bottlenecks blocking revenue growth

2

Design and implement A/B testing framework for onboarding flows; establish baseline conversion metrics for signup-to-activation

3

Build cross-functional alignment with product, marketing, and data; establish weekly growth review cadence with executive stakeholders

4

Launch first high-impact retention or expansion campaign targeting either churn reduction or cross-sell; target 5-10% lift

By 6 Months
1

Increase self-service expansion revenue by 15-25% through optimized onboarding, feature adoption, and upsell flows

2

Reduce time-to-value (activation) by 20%+ via iterative flow optimization and behavioral analytics

3

Scale 2-3 proven retention or referral campaigns to drive predictable cohort retention lift

4

Own and deliver quarterly growth forecast; establish and track 5+ core growth dashboards feeding executive reporting

KPIs You'll Own

Self-Service ARR Growth Rate

Quarterly revenue growth from self-serve customers; primary P&L metric.

Signup-to-Activation Conversion

% of signups who reach activation milestone (e.g., first successful call, team invite); measures onboarding efficiency.

Net Revenue Retention (NRR)

Retention + expansion revenue from existing self-serve cohorts; north star for retention and upsell.

Time-to-Value (TTV)

Days from signup to activation; lower TTV drives faster expansion and reduces churn risk.

Cohort Retention (Month 1, 3, 6, 12)

% of cohort users/accounts retained; tracks long-term engagement health by acquisition period.

Cross-Sell/Upsell Attach Rate

% of active customers adopting additional products or tiers; direct expansion revenue lever.

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've led growth at a B2B SaaS company and own P&L impact—acquisition, activation, expansion, retention all live in your head
  • You're obsessed with metrics: user funnels, cohort analysis, experimentation rigor, and dashboarding are second nature
  • You thrive working cross-functionally and can translate data into clear narrative for execs and product teams
  • You want VP-level autonomy and COO visibility to shape strategy, not just execute tactics; you're ready to hire and scale a team
  • Self-service and PLG models excite you; you understand freemium-to-paid motion and expansion mechanics
Won't Work If
  • You're expecting fully remote—this is on-site only; relocation to one of four hubs required
  • Growth marketing is your only playbook; you need deep product, data science, and onboarding chops to succeed here
  • You prefer consulting/advising over ownership; this role demands hands-on execution, testing, and iteration alongside teams
