Ideal candidates combine product intuition with analytical rigor: in the application, please highlight the growth problems, experiments, or loops you are most proud of building.What you’ll doOwn the SMB design partner program end to end: the program where real operators run their business on Computer so we can build and test our agents against real workflows and prove Computer moves revenue metrics for SMBs.Recruit and onboard design partners: define the partner profile, set up connectors and project context, and design the metrics each engagement should move.Build and iterate on Computer's first-party skill packs until the output clears the bar an operator would otherwise pay an agency for.Turn partner feedback into a prioritized roadmap of skill, connector, and capability improvements; write the specs and drive them with the connectors and capabilities teams.Drive case studies end to end with partnerships, product, and growth marketing: run the engagement, measure results honestly, and package them for paid, organic, and partner channels.Drive usage expansion for our existing base of SMB operators by driving adoption for relevant capabilities through onboarding, lifecycle and in-product recommendations.Qualifications 2–4 years of total work experience with a strong academic record.2 years in investment banking, strategy consulting, or a comparable high-intensity analytical role, followed by some operating experience.You've run, or worked closely alongside, real marketing workflows: paid social, lifecycle, CRO, or SEO.

Curious people are the people who drive change in the world. Driving change is a continuous cycle of learning, building, and integrating.Learn: curious people constantly learn new things by asking more. They question the status quo in their own expertise and they constantly learn outside of it. Research is essential to them and never ending.Build: curious people make and create things, to show the world their new answers to problems no one else ever questioned. They take action on what they've learned. Makers need tools to create their products, their companies, their reality.Integrate: they must interact with the world as it is to drive change and adoption. True leaders do not simply build something and hope. They must have armies of agents and workers who can constantly work in millions of small ways.Repeat. For curious people this is a cycle that never ends.Compensation Range: $230K - $330KLocationSan Francisco; New York CityEmployment TypeFull timeDepartmentProduct ManagementCompensation$230K – $330K • Offers EquityU.S. BenefitsFull-time U.S. employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits program including equity, health, dental, vision, retirement, fitness, commuter and dependent care accounts, and more.International BenefitsFull-time employees outside the U.S. enjoy a comprehensive benefits program tailored to their region of residence.USD salary ranges apply only to U.S.-based positions.
