About the role

The credibility to be a genuine peer to channel experts. You can go deep enough with a paid marketer or an SEO specialist to earn their trust, without needing to run their channel yourself.

Our pay ranges are based on the local cost of labor benchmarks for each specific role, level, and geographic location. San Francisco is our highest geographic market in the United States.

What they're looking for

  • A track record of building acquisition mechanics into a product, such as growth loops, not only optimizing paid channels
  • Strong proficiency in data analytics, experimentation, attribution, and funnel optimization, with the ability to tie acquisition decisions to long-term subscriber value rather than cost per acquisition or volume alone
