• Build, develop, and mentor a product marketing team including lifecycle marketers; lead with a passion for learning and development

• 8+ years of experience in marketing; 5+ of those years in product marketing, with a preference for some experience in a startup environment 
• Product marketing experience working across the funnel in B2C tech and/or a consumer app
• Strong preference for a player-coach role, unafraid to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with campaign development 
• Experience managing a nascent product marketing/lifecycle marketing team with direct responsibility for owned communication channels 
• Excellent written communication skills, with an ability to craft a clear and compelling narrative for unique audiences
• Analytical and experimental mindset, can use and leverage data and insights to brainstorm ideas, make decisions, and drive growth
