Job Summary

Own end-to-end growth engine for provider funnel from acquisition to activation to retention, running rapid experiments, designing automated lifecycle journeys, scaling high-leverage channels, shaping product learnings, and expanding into new verticals with AI-enabled automation.

  • Own funnel and experiments
  • Expand to new verticals

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build the funnel. Define and instrument the provider acquisition → activation funnel, with metrics by vertical, channel and cohort.
  • Run experiments fast. Launch rapid tests across email, SMS, calls, messaging and in-product onboarding to find the playbooks that convert best, then scale them.
  • Own lifecycle journeys. Design automated journeys that take providers from prospect → claimed profile → active lead recipient → paying customer.
  • Scale the channels that work. Find and grow the highest-leverage channels, including direct outreach, product-led acquisition and strategic distribution partnerships.
  • Shape the product. Feed channel, messaging and funnel learnings back to Product and Engineering to improve onboarding and provider value.
  • Use AI and automation. Use automation and AI agents to lower acquisition and activation costs while improving retention and monetization.
  • Expand the engine. Take proven motions from the first priority home-service verticals to new verticals and geographies.

Requirements

  • Senior experience in growth or product growth, with a track record of scaling acquisition or activation funnels
  • Experience growing SMB, marketplace or local-provider supply
  • Strong funnel analytics skills: comfortable defining metrics, building cohort views and finding bottlenecks in the data
  • Hands-on lifecycle marketing expertise (email, SMS, messaging) and rigorous A/B testing and experiment design
  • Deep understanding of acquisition, activation and retention mechanics
  • A hands-on, bias-for-action style and comfort with ambiguity in an early-stage setting
  • Real empathy for small-business owners and what drives their decisions

Preferred

  • Experience in home services, local marketplaces, SMB SaaS or lead generation
  • Monetization experience (pricing, packaging, conversion to paid)
  • CRM and marketing automation expertise (e.g., Braze, Klaviyo, HubSpot)
  • Experience building distribution partnerships
  • Experience using AI to drive growth
  • Strong product instincts and commercial judgment
  • We especially value people who have scaled SMB or provider supply through product and lifecycle levers. This role is not a traditional enterprise BD or field-sales role.
