• Partner with Product on in-app growth loops (onboarding flows, upsell paths, referrals) to improve activation and monetization.
• Build, test, and scale growth experiments with a focus on speed, measurable outcomes, and repeatability to uncover new revenue levers.
• Partner with Data and Product to define PLG metrics (PQLs, activation, expansion) and optimize funnel performance.
• Lead, support & coach multi-disciplinary team accountable for the acquisition, activation & retention of customers.

Marketing Operations & Revenue Infrastructure

• Own the marketing tech stack and data foundation to ensure accurate attribution, funnel visibility, and actionable insights.

• Build dashboards and reporting that tie marketing efforts directly to conversion and revenue outcomes.
• Partner with Finance on forecasting, budget allocation, and revenue modeling to maximize ROI.
• Identify opportunities to automate workflows and increase efficiency across the team.

You'll thrive here if you have:

• Proven success scaling demand and revenue in a product-led growth environment with deep understanding of PLG metrics: PQLs, activation, CAC/LTV, expansion, and NRR.
• Expertise in marketing automation platforms (e.g. Braze), analytics (Looker, GA), and experimentation tools.
• Data-driven operator who can link campaigns to business outcomes and present insights with clarity to executives.
