  • Lead integrated campaign orchestration across major product launches and brand moments (in close partnership with Product Marketing) establishing repeatable frameworks to sync execution across paid, owned, earned, and product surfaces
  • Modernize measurement and attribution alongside Analytics and Data Science by advancing incrementality testing, marketing mix modeling, forecasting, LTV frameworks, and growth scorecards for the executive team
  • Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing growth organization grounded in a culture of experimentation, operational excellence, and data-driven accountability

Experience and Background:
  • 10+ years in Growth Marketing, Growth Strategy, Integrated Marketing, consumer technology, marketplaces, or platform businesses
