• Develop positioning, messaging and launch strategies for new products
• Run product launches across social, developer communities, content and partnerships
• Build repeatable acquisition and activation loops

• Work with product to improve onboarding, activation, retention and monetization
• Build Naive’s early growth team and operating system
