Partner with Product & Marketing to align seasonal plays around back-to-school; lock in Q1 campaign calendar
Increase teacher activation rate by 15-25% through optimized onboarding and early-use moments
Launch and scale 2-3 viral/referral mechanics; track teacher-to-teacher sharing as % of new signups
Reduce teacher churn in months 1-3 by 20%+ through retention-focused interventions and re-engagement campaigns
Own growth roadmap with clear quarterly bets; report on growth efficiency metrics (CAC, LTV, payback period)

Is This Role For You?
- You've shipped growth experiments and can read data to make decisions, not just report metrics
- You obsess over distribution mechanics and user psychology-you understand how teachers discover and share tools
- You're scrappy enough to vibe-code a landing page when the idea can't wait, but mature enough to bring teams along to scale
- You've worked B2C or education/community products and know how to build growth systems for real human behavior (not generic SaaS playbooks)
- You want founder-level scope and the autonomy to set your own agenda-this is an individual contributor role with strategic weight
- You need a large marketing team to execute ideas; this is an IC role with close partnerships but you own the outcome
- You're uncomfortable with ambiguity or prefer structured, pre-defined roadmaps; you'll need to find the leverage yourself
- You haven't built and shipped real growth experiments with statistical rigor; this role requires hands-on execution and data literacy
