• Own the product area vision, strategy, implementation, and customer & business outcomes for Growth & Monetization
• Own the strategy and execution of member value realization, helping members clearly understand and quantify the financial outcomes Collective delivers to drive activation, retention, referrals, and revenue growth.

• Fluency with experimentation and data. You are very comfortable defining experiments e.g A/B tests, fake door tests, and more. You know how to leverage data to make product decisions rapidly & insightfully.
• An 'owner'/'driver' mindset. You are biased toward action and get stuff done. No task is too big or too small for you. You strive to solve problems independently, while striking the balance of asking for help.
• Drive for simplicity and elegance. Ability to take on complex product challenges and find elegant, simplifying solutions to avoid making them our customers’ and partner’s problems.
• A high quality bar. For your own contributions and those of the people around you
