You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across marketing, lifecycle, and paid acquisition, while partnering with leadership to influence overall growth strategy. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy balancing analytics with creative intuition, and want meaningful ownership over both strategy and execution, this is a strong opportunity to consider.

- Strong balance of creative thinking and analytical rigor
