You'll find where the biggest leverage sits across the seller lifecycle and set the bets to help us grow as many sellers as possible as large as possible. You will:Build the seller growth engine, not just features for it. Design referrals, invites, incentives, notifications, and reactivation as loops that reinforce each other, built on durable platforms rather than one-off campaigns.Drive systemic unlocks first, then paper cuts. Each half, pick the few structural changes that shorten the path from wanting to sell to actually selling, and keep steadily clearing the friction that blocks new sellers today.Own seller growth metrics and set the targets, including new seller activation, early retention, and cohort GMV. Build the scorecards the team uses to make tradeoffs, and hold the area accountable for outcomes, not output.Set the experimentation strategy for your area. Decide which questions are worth testing, raise the bar on how tests are designed and read, and turn what you learn into lasting product changes and playbooks other teams can reuse.Lead across team boundaries. Seller growth touches surfaces owned by many product teams. You'll align them on shared goals, influence their roadmaps, and make sure seller growth needs are built into core platforms from the start.Turn frontline insight into scalable product. Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data Science, Marketing, Operations, and seller-facing teams to understand what successful new sellers do differently, and make it repeatable.We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection.
