  • Own US entertainment market intelligence and storytelling that informs product priorities and category creation.

Job Description

  • Define how we take new products, features, and content experiences to market in the US- from identifying the opportunity to shaping the narrative and driving adoption
  • Build positioning that cuts through a crowded entertainment landscape and gives consumers a compelling reason to choose us over everything else competing for their attention
  • Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Product, Data Science, and Growth to turn customer insights and product decisions into marketing strategies that move business metrics, not just awareness
  • Develop a deep understanding of the US entertainment, creator, and audio ecosystem. Know what consumers care about, where the market is headed, and where we can create our own category instead of following others
  • Lead market and competitive intelligence that influences not only marketing plans but product priorities and long-term business bets
  • Create repeatable GTM playbooks that bring together paid, lifecycle, organic, partnerships, and creator ecosystems into one coordinated launch strategy
  • Partner with Brand and Communications to ensure every launch tells a consistent story, whether it's on the App Store, in a performance ad, through creators, or in the press
  • Define what success looks like before launch, establish the right leading and lagging indicators, and continuously refine strategy based on customer behavior and business outcomes
  • Be the strongest advocate for the US consumer in the room, ensuring products and messaging reflect cultural nuance instead of simple localization
  • Act as a strategic partner to founders and senior leadership, bringing a clear point of view on market positioning, competitive moves, and where we should play next
