About News Break

NewsBreak is the best local source for news, videos, and information on safety, accidents, sports, business, celebrity updates, stock market trends, and more.

About the role

You'll own the full provider funnel for Nearby AI: acquisition → activation → retention → monetization . Our approach is product-led. We pre-build AI-generated profiles, keep onboarding friction low and test outreach channels and messaging in a structured way. Your job is to turn that approach into a growth engine that works across thousands of providers without much manual effort. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Senior experience in growth or product growth, with a track record of scaling acquisition or activation funnels
  • Experience growing SMB, marketplace or local-provider supply
  • Strong funnel analytics skills: comfortable defining metrics, building cohort views and finding bottlenecks in the data
  • Hands-on lifecycle marketing expertise (email, SMS, messaging) and rigorous A/B testing and experiment design
  • Deep understanding of acquisition, activation and retention mechanics
  • A hands-on, bias-for-action style and comfort with ambiguity in an early-stage setting
