You'll decide where we invest first, where we test, and where we wait.

How you will contribute

You will own YABA's marketing, product, and channel strategy end to end, reporting directly to the CEO. You'll set the pace and priorities for each brand, working closely with the brand, product and channel leaders who bring that strategy to life.
