Key responsibilities

Monetization & revenue

• Own the monetization roadmap; accelerate the pace of monetization initiatives (release-to-release, not quarter-to-quarter)

• Drive feature implementation speed — reduce time from decision to release

• Build and maintain a close working connection with the monetization team: shared backlog visibility, joint prioritization, aligned experiment pipeline

Metrics & plan/fact

• Own the product metric layer: definitions, data quality, dashboards

• Resolve outstanding metric issues (gaps, broken tracking, conflicting sources)

• Run regular plan-vs-fact reviews; explain deviations with a clear causal narrative, not descriptive reporting

Product bets & discovery

• Identify and validate big product bets — hypotheses with a quantified business upside, not feature ideas

• Establish a working discovery process in both products: hypothesis → research → decision, each discovery framed with an expected business outcome

• Run a monthly backlog refresh cycle: re-prioritize against business goals and current team capacity

AI in the team process

• Introduce AI-native ways of working into the team workflow: design-system-driven development, templates, agents, design agents

• Make AI usage a default part of the delivery process (specs, design, frontend, research), not an individual experiment

Delivery ownership

• Own backlog, prioritization, and release scope

• Make product decisions proactively — surface tradeoffs and decide, rather than escalating for direction

People Leadership

• Lead, develop, and grow the team of 7 people

• Strong analytical foundation

• Experience owning discovery end to end: framing hypotheses, choosing research method, converting findings into roadmap decisions

• Fluent English, written and spoken

• Strong problem-solving skills

• Excellent communication skills
