• Identify opportunities to improve the subscriber experience across the lifecycle, using research, experimentation, and data to inform priorities and validate impact.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to launch and iterate on products that drive conversion, reduce churn, deepen loyalty, and create sustainable revenue growth.
• Drive complex, cross‑functional initiatives that require strong judgment, stakeholder alignment, and clear communication across teams and leadership.
• Improve product development processes and ways of working to increase clarity, speed, and effectiveness.
• Mentor Product Managers and serve as a strategic thought partner to leadership on monetization opportunities, tradeoffs, and priorities.

• Deep experience in subscription and monetization products, including areas such as acquisition, paywalls, onboarding, pricing, retention, churn, and renewals.

• Demonstrated ability to operate at both strategic and executional levels, connecting near‑to‑near delivery to long‑term product and business vision.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence decisions across a broad group of partners.
• Experience improving team processes, mentoring PMs, and helping raise the quality of product thinking across an organization.
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Figma, Looker, and Google Analytics.
• A passion for building audience‑centered products and sustainable consumer revenue models.
