Design and execute a continuous experimentation program, including A/B tests across landing experiences, recommendation algorithms, marketplace structure, acquisition strategies, engagement, and retention.

Build end-to-end lifecycle email programs from the ground up, including recommendation newsletters, subscriber acquisition offers, and automated campaigns that convert visitors into repeat buyers.

Develop and scale organic growth initiatives through SEO and answer engine optimization (AEO), improving product discovery across marketplace pages and distribution partnerships with creators.

•

Partner with the marketplace general manager, company founders, product teams, paid media, analytics, brand and design, lifecycle marketing, and partnerships to define and execute growth priorities.

•

Take a hands-on, player-coach approach by writing email campaigns, building landing pages, engaging directly with creators, developing reporting, and interpreting results.

•

Rapidly test new approaches, learn from unsuccessful experiments, and use evidence to refine strategy in a dynamic environment with evolving priorities.

Requirements

•

Proven ability to acquire email subscribers efficiently and increase their long-term value through relevant content, strong engagement, and effective conversion strategies.

•

Excellent analytical and experimentation skills, including the ability to design tests, interpret results, make data-informed decisions, and iterate quickly.

Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where priorities evolve and new technologies or tools may need to be learned quickly.

•

Strong strategic judgment and the ability to balance long-term marketplace growth with short-term acquisition, engagement, and revenue objectives.
