  • Consumer growth experience (subscription, marketplace, or edtech preferred).
  • Comfortable with long-term planning, and adapting to changing business conditions.
  • Proven ability to convert strategy into plans that drive measurable growth (e.g., acquisition, retention, LTV/CAC).
  • Strong planning, stakeholder management, and end-to-end ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives.
  • Excellent quantitative skills; fluency with metrics, experimentation, forecasting, and decision frameworks.
