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

Growth today comes primarily from recommendation-algorithm tuning and paid acquisition. A product-driven growth curve does not yet exist. This role turns “where is the next curve?” from an open question into a series of hypotheses that can be validated — or disproven — quickly.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years in consumer product , including 3+ in 0→1 or new-direction work
  • A concrete story where data overturned your own judgment
  • A track record of killing a direction yourself, with clear reasoning
  • Strong analytics: you pull your own data, design experiments, read results
  • You instinctively ask “how do users solve this today?” and “what's the switching cost?”
  • Industry open. Consumer high-frequency products preferred (content, social, local, utility)
