- Other duties may be assigned.

- Strategic Governance & Orchestration: Proven track record of managing complex customer contact strategies and global communication calendars. You possess the professional maturity to prioritize high-impact initiatives while protecting the user experience.
- Advanced Analytical & Financial Rigor: Expert-level ability to interpret complex datasets and build business cases. You are fluent in SaaS unit economics - including cohort retention, ARPU, and expansion rates and can translate these into actionable growth models.
- Architectural Mindset: Experience building expansion playbooks, including scalable experimentation frameworks, measurement baselines, and standardized reporting structures.
- Cross-Functional Influence & Storytelling: Proven ability to align cross-functional teams around shared goals. You can distill performance metrics into a compelling narrative that connects business objectives to the customer experience.
- Execution Discipline & High Agency: A proactive leader with a strong bias for action and the ability to manage multiple high-stakes workstreams from high-level planning through to optimization.
