Description

  • Own organic and paid acquisition strategy across all channels, including direct oversight of the paid acquisition agency.
  • Drive developer community acquisition through Reddit, Hacker News, dev-focused communities, technical content, GitHub presence, and DevRel-adjacent programs.
  • Own the product-led growth motion, including product qualification logic, activation funnel design, self-serve to sales-led handoff design, and expansion trigger strategy.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to prioritize self-serve improvements and advocate for PLG in planning cycles.
  • Own the corporate narrative for strategic segments and translate it into channel strategy, content, and partnerships.
  • Develop go-to-market programs for key strategic ICPs, including developer tools integrations, community presence, co-marketing, and technical content.
  • Own north star KPIs across the full funnel and manage funnel performance and analytics.

  • Understanding of Reddit, Hacker News, dev communities, technical content, GitHub presence, and DevRel-adjacent programs as acquisition channels.
  • Comfort owning numbers directly and presenting signups, activation rates, and conversion metrics alongside strategy.
  • Experience influencing cross-functional teams without formal authority through partnership and persuasion.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure, data pipeline tooling, or the AI builder ecosystem.
  • Experience directing a paid acquisition agency, not just overseeing spend.
