## Job description

Growth Product Manager (North America)

🎯 About the Role We're looking for a Growth PM to own how new users find OpenArt, get to their first great creation, and become paying creators. You'll be responsible for activation across every acquisition channel, the free-to-paid funnel, lifecycle retention, and the experimentation engine behind all of it. This is a high-leverage moment to join. We grew revenue 7x last year, we're launching OpenArt Director (our new "vibe directing" category), and we're expanding into Brazil, India, and Europe. Growth done well over the next 12months is category-defining. You'll work directly with the founders, a distributed engineering team, and our marketing and lifecycle leads.

🎨 About OpenArt OpenArt is a leading AI Creative Platform for visual storytelling, used by millions worldwide. We're building the next generation of creative tools powered by cutting-edge AI, enabling anyone to create videos, images, visuals, characters, and stories with unprecedented speed and imagination. We believe the future of creativity is AI-native, and we're shaping that future.

🚀 Why Join OpenArt

- Real growth leverage. Millions of users, fast-growing revenue, and a paywall that hasn't been seriously optimized yet. Big numbers to move.
- Category-defining product launches. OpenArt Director, global expansion, and new model capabilities — all need a growth owner from day one.
- Hyper-growth and huge market opportunity. OpenArt is growing fast (7x revenue growth last year) and is one of the leaders in an exploding new product category.
- High ownership, low process. We value judgment, clarity, and speed over bureaucracy.
- Founder-led engineering culture. Both founders are technical and deeply involved in product and architecture.

🧩 Requirements

- 3+ years of growth product management experience at a product-led growth (PLG) consumer or pro-sumer company
- Track record of moving real numbers — new-user activation, channel-level conversion, free-to-paid conversion, retention — with specifics you can walkthrough
- Deep onboarding fluency. You've redesigned onboarding for different acquisition sources (paid, organic, viral, partnerships) and can talk about what worked and what didn't
- Strong experimentation chops — power, sample sizing, holdouts vs. A/B, sequential testing pitfalls, reading noisy results honestly
- Comfortable in the growth tooling stack: Amplitude or similar, Stripe, attribution (Meta Pixel, Meta Conversions API, GA4), lifecycle tools ([Customer.io](http://Customer.io), Iterable, Braze, or similar)
- Quantitative — comfortable in SQL or with analytics dashboards, and you don't wait for someone else to pull the data
- Strong product instincts — you can look at a funnel, talk to a few users, and quickly identify the biggest opportunity
- Comfort working across time zones with a distributed engineering team
- Demonstrate an AI-native approach to daily workflows by effectively leveraging AI tools to improve productivity, creativity, and decision-making.

🌟Nice to Have

- Experience with global growth — localized onboarding, regional payment methods, country-specific channels (especially APAC, LATAM, or Europe)
- Background in consumer AI or generative AI products
- Pricing and packaging experience at a subscription business
- Search engine optimization (SEO) or programmatic SEO background
- Creative tools / design software background (Adobe, Canva, Figma, or adjacent)
- You've been the first growth PM hire before and know how to build the function as you go

🛠 What You'll Do

- Make onboarding the strongest part of the funnel. Today every channel hands new users to roughly the same flow. Diagnose where each cohort drops off, design per-channel onboarding where it matters, and meaningfully lift activation.
- Own channel-level conversion. Partner with marketing on paid acquisition,SEO, and viral loops so every click and every dollar converts at the highest rate possible.
- Drive free-to-paid conversion. Own the paywall, pricing experiments, packaging, and upsell flows. Build a sustainable PLG monetization engine that scales with the user base.
- Build the experimentation engine. Establish a steady cadence of well-powered experiments with clean readouts and honest decision-making. Bring rigor, not experiment theater.
- Own retention and lifecycle. Email, push, in-app messaging, and resurrection campaigns — turn one-time visitors into weekly creators.
- Support category-defining launches. OpenArt Director, invite-code programs, new market launches — you'll own growth instrumentation, funnel design, and reporting from day one.
- Move fast with high autonomy. Direct access to founders and engineers, and the freedom to ship rapidly.

💰Compensation

- $300k-$400k total compensation including base salary, bonus, equity(competitive compensation based on experience)
- Equity — meaningful ownership in what you build

🌍 Work Setup

- Bay Area preferred (hybrid available)
- Visa sponsorship available

## About OpenArt AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: OpenArt is an all-in-one AI creative platform that enables users to generate, edit, and remix images, videos, characters, audio, and 3D worlds through a single interface.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Coco Mao (CEO), John Qiao (CTO) – both former Google engineers

## Core Business
- Primary Industry: Technology, Information and Internet; AI‑powered creative tools
- Target Customers: B2C (millions of individual creators) and B2B (brands, studios, content teams)
- Mission Statement: “Build the future of storytelling with AI.”

## Products & Services
- **Image Generation & Editing** – Generate images using models like GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5.0, and edit within the same canvas (erase, expand, restyle, upscale to 4K).
- **Video Generation** – Create videos up to 15 seconds at up to 4K resolution, choosing from models such as Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 Omni, and Sora 2. Refine or edit each generation.
- **Character Builder** – Build consistent characters using reference images or text; characters can be reused across images, scenes, and videos with the same face and style.
- **World** – Generate persistent, navigable 3D spatial environments from a single prompt or reference images; add characters, place objects, take still photos, or export to 3D tools.
- **Audio** – AI voiceovers in 30+ languages with lip‑sync, original music generation, and sound effects (footsteps, rain, etc.). Export as WAV or MP3 timed to video.
- **OpenArt Director** – Storyboard and refine video sequences using natural‑language chat for granular shot‑by‑shot control.
- **Smart Shot** – Convert a single prompt into 3–5 cinematic cuts with varied angles, camera moves, and visual consistency.

- **Total Funding**: $40 M+ across three rounds:
  - Seed (June 2023): $5 M led by DCM Ventures and CapitalOven [[tracxn.com]](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/openart/__rGLZ4jZtTKFqOnIFJpVIpXqrPEtJHfzKwCfxXxYFnns)
  - Venture Round (Aug 2025): $5 M [[linkedin.com]](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openart-ai)

  - Presence in 17 countries across North America, Asia, and Europe
  - Hosted the world’s first AI Influencer Summit and produced “Bot House,” the first AI reality TV show

## Competitive Advantages
- **All‑in‑one platform**: Instead of juggling separate tools (Midjourney for images, Runway/Sora for video, etc.), users access images, video, characters, audio, and 3D worlds under a single subscription.
- **Character consistency**: A core differentiator – one character can be reused across images, scenes, and videos with the same look, enabling storytelling and AI influencers.
- **Model agnosticism**: The platform bundles multiple top‑tier AI models (Seedream, Veo, GPT Image, Kling, Sora, etc.), letting users pick the best option per project without paying multiple subscriptions.
- **Strong retention driven by storytelling**: The metric most watched is not ARR but how often creators return to deepen characters and expand universes.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue building the end‑to‑end creative platform for storytellers (characters, worlds, long‑form video)
- Expand the AI influencer and brand‑mascot market (e.g., AI Influencer Summit, Bot House reality show)
- Deepen integration of audio and video editing for professional studios
- Grow the engineering and product teams – “We’ve nearly doubled in size this year, and the pace isn’t slowing down.” [[openart.ai/blog]](https://openart.ai/blog/the-openart-story/)

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Fast‑moving, lean team that “move[s] fast, over‑communicate[s], and put[s] storytelling at the heart of everything.” [[openart.ai/blog]](https://openart.ai/blog/the-openart-story/)
- **Growth trajectory**: Company experienced 7× ARR growth in one year and is actively hiring across departments (engineering, design, product, marketing)
- **Founders**: Ex‑Google (Coco Mao, John Qiao) with a track record of launching products at scale (short‑form video platform acquired by Google Search)
- **Work model**: Hybrid / office presence in San Francisco (HQ) and Redwood City; no formal remote‑first policy stated
- **Notable**: Free trial available for users; employees have backgrounds from top AI companies (Stability AI, Invideo, ImagineArt, etc.)
