• Leverage product and community strengths
  Work cross-functionally to translate open-source adoption, product-led growth, and community engagement into measurable business impact.

• Be data-driven and decisive
  Own dashboards, pipeline forecasting, and performance reviews. Make decisions with imperfect data, test quickly, and iterate based on results.
  

• Contribute to marketing culture at Seqera
