Job Summary

Own onboarding velocity for a consumer app or subscription product by aligning first-use, paywall, and monetisation to lift activation and long-term ARPU.

  • Onboarding and Activation: define activation for each product, shape first-use flows, and accelerate time-to-value through structured experiments.
  • Paywall and Monetisation: craft paywall screens, offers, timing, and upsell sequencing to maximise conversion without eroding trust.
  • Retention and Testing: build cohort analysis, churn signals, win-back loops, and a fast, statistically rigorous A/B testing culture.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Onboarding flow strategy - designing and optimising the first-use experience to drive activation, not just registration
  • Activation frameworks - defining what "activated" means for each product or client, and building the system to get users there
  • Commitment screen and paywall strategy - copy, structure, timing, and A/B testing to maximise conversion without eroding trust
  • Monetisation strategy - pricing presentation, upsell sequencing, trial-to-paid mechanics, and expansion revenue thinking
  • Retention and lifecycle - cohort analysis, churn identification, win-back programmes, and engagement loops that sustain ARPU over time
  • A/B testing culture - building a rigorous, fast-moving experimentation practice with proper statistical thinking
  • Client-facing growth audits - reviewing client funnels end-to-end and delivering actionable recommendations

Requirements

  • Proven experience owning onboarding and activation for a consumer app, SaaS product, or subscription business
  • Track record of materially improving activation rates or reducing time-to-value through structured experimentation
  • Deep understanding of paywall and commitment screen mechanics - you can articulate why the same offer converts differently depending on framing, timing, and context
  • Fluent in ARPU, ARPPU, LTV, payback period, and the relationships between them; you know when each metric matters and when it misleads
  • Experience running a rigorous A/B testing programme - you understand statistical significance, novelty effects, and when to stop a test
  • Strong cohort analysis skills - you can identify churn inflection points, segment by activation status, and model the impact of funnel changes
  • Familiarity with behavioural psychology principles that underpin good onboarding (progress mechanics, social proof, loss aversion, commitment and consistency)
  • Client-facing communication skills - you can translate funnel analysis into clear strategic recommendations for a non-technical audience
  • Comfortable working across product, data, and marketing - this role spans all three

Preferred

  • Experience with ecommerce conversion and post-purchase monetisation (upsell, subscriptions, loyalty)
  • Familiarity with analytics tools: Mixpanel, Amplitude, PostHog, Braze, or similar
  • Understanding of paid acquisition mechanics — you know how upstream CAC decisions affect downstream LTV
  • Experience building growth frameworks that others can use, not just doing the work yourself

Benefits

  • Work from anywhere, with flexibility around how you structure your day.
  • Direct exposure to high-growth clients and meaningful work.
  • Regular team meetups and retreats, with travel covered.
  • Access to conferences, events and industry sessions.
  • Small team, high ownership, fast progression.
