- Lead strategy and execution across all major growth channels, with a focus on scaling performance efficiently.
- Architect and optimize acquisition funnels, testing roadmaps, and channel expansions.
- Stand up new paid and organic channels that can unlock step-change growth.
- Drive international growth with localized creative and channel strategies.
Run a High-Performance Creative Pipeline
- Build and lead the creative system that powers our acquisition engine.
- Source, evaluate, and manage creators, influencers, and UGC partners.
- Develop concepts, briefs, and testing frameworks; guide creators and editors toward consistently high-performing output.

Drive Product-Led Growth Insights
