We are seeking a strategic, data-driven, and user-obsessed Head of Product – Growth & Data to lead and scale our growth product initiatives. This role will oversee product-led growth strategies and data infrastructure that fuel customer acquisition, retention, and monetization.

You’re a natural collaborator and an excellent communicator, able to align teams and influence stakeholders at every level. You enjoy mentoring and building high-performing product teams, empowering them with purpose, autonomy, and data. You are an expert in modern marketing and growth tech stacks – including but not limited to Consumer Data Platforms, CRMs, Consumer Engagement Platforms, MMPs, and data visualization tools.

You have passion for serving local communities – and are deeply motivated to serve our consumers with elegant, intuitive, and helpful tools that will drive deep habituation, engagement and top line value.
