Lead Growth PM
Added 6 days agoLead Growth Product Manager, you’ll be responsible for identifying, testing, and scaling the product experiences that drive user acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization for both Descript’s self-serve as well as enterprise product. We’re a small, flat team, and you’ll have the chance to work closely with world-class PMs, engineers, designers, researchers, data scientists, and product marketers — all driven to do the best work of their careers while moving the metrics that matter most.
What you’ll do
- Define and own the growth strategy and roadmap for both our self-serve and enterprise product.
- Develop a deep understanding of our customers, market, and growth levers across the full user lifecycle, from discovery and onboarding to conversion and expansion to long-term retention.
- Partner closely with design, engineering, data, sales and marketing to lead experiments and strategic initiatives that meaningfully impact acquisition, activation, engagement, and retention.
- Analyze user behavior, funnel performance, and A/B test results to improve conversion & upgrade funnels, expand usage, and evolve pricing & packaging to meet diverse user needs.
- Drive company-wide growth initiatives that balance customer value with sustainable business impact.
Who you are
- You’ve shipped impactful things: You have 7+ years of product management experience, with at least a few in growth-focused roles. You’ve worked on products with technical complexity, high design craft, and measurable growth impact — experience with products that have dual self-serve and enterprise growth motions is ideal. You excel at driving cross-functional teams to deliver complex initiatives.
- You start with the customer and the data: You care deeply about understanding customers and have a proven track record of turning insights into growth strategies. You’ve led discovery work, defined features, and run experiments that solve real problems and move key metrics.
- You’re a fog sculptor: Many of our growth opportunities don’t have obvious playbooks or direct competitors. You thrive in ambiguity, shaping unformed ideas into clear strategies and repeatable wins. You’re highly self-directed and aren’t easily blocked.
- You care about craft and impact: You balance high-quality product experiences with a relentless focus on measurable outcomes. You know that the most delightful growth loops are the ones that feel effortless to the user.
- You’re creative and maybe kind of weird: Ok, this isn’t a hard requirement, but Descript is a quirky place, and the people who thrive here tend to like that. A good sense of humor goes a long way — after all, we’re building creative tools, not launching rockets.
The base salary range for this role is $171,000 - $235,000/year. Final offer amounts will carefully consider multiple factors, including prior experience, expertise, and location, and may vary from the amount above.
