You'll be the right-hand operator and thinking partner to the GM of Later Social and Head of Creator Products, reporting directly to the SVP and GM. You will own the growth metrics, the operating cadence, and the decision support that keep two fast-moving businesses sharp and accountable: the Later Social PLG SaaS division and the Creator product portfolio. You won't just report on the funnel, you'll live in it. You'll know why self-serve conversion moved, where Creator product activation is leaking, and what we should do about it before anyone asks. You'll run the operating rhythm, keep the team honest on timelines and OKRs, turn data into crisp leadership narratives, and act as a force multiplier so the GM can operate at the altitude only they can.

Keep the group's timelines, deliverables, and operational commitments on schedule, and keep the GM ahead of what's due and what's at risk. Strategy & Decision Support Support the GM on product and business metrics tracking, translating data into action plans with a clear recommendation, not just a status update. Pressure-test plans, model scenarios, and bring an independent, data-backed perspective the GM can rely on. Prepare the documents and presentations the group needs for leadership, board, and cross-functional audiences, translating data into a clear story. Own smaller projects end to end, from framing the question to landing the outcome. Cross-Functional Leadership Partner across Product, Marketing, Data, GTM, and Finance; with Marketing specifically, keep growth reporting transparent and forward-leaning.
