## 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)
