• 5+ years in product growth, community development, brand engagement, or go-to-market strategy
• Proven track record of launching products or movements that reached and resonated with large audiences
• Expertise in driving viral campaigns, user engagement strategies, and growth loops
• Deep understanding of digital behavior and how humans connect emotionally online
• Experience working cross-functionally with design, engineering, and marketing teams
