Responsibilities

• Partner directly with Product and Engineering on product-led growth. Help shape onboarding, activation, in-product nudges, and lifecycle triggers that get restaurant operators to value faster and keep them there.
• Own Otter's upsell and cross-sell motion across the product suite (order aggregation, virtual brands, analytics, and more). Identify the highest-leverage expansion opportunities, partner with eng/product to build the surfaces and signals, and run the campaigns that drive cross-product adoption.
• Drive funnel and conversion improvements across the customer journey - signup, activation, and expansion. Write hypotheses, scope experiments with PMs and engineers, and read results honestly.
• Lead GTM for new partnership launches. Define positioning, target segments, launch sequencing, and success metrics. Coordinate Product, BD, Sales, Brand, and Lifecycle so each launch lands coherently.
• Build the 0-to-1 motion for each partnership launch: positioning, messaging, launch plan, sales enablement, website surfaces, lifecycle campaigns, and measurement framework.
• Develop a quantitative experimentation roadmap with clear hypotheses, prioritization, and a cadence that compounds learning.
• Build the measurement infrastructure that gives leadership confidence in growth decisions - funnel reporting, cohort analysis, and experiment readouts using GA4, Mixpanel, Looker, or Snowflake.
• Identify and lead other high-leverage special projects outside the standard roadmap - segment expansions, pricing/packaging changes, and anything else leadership wants pushed hard for a quarter or two.
• Partner with Performance Marketing, Brand, and Sales for full-funnel alignment, without owning paid acquisition day-to-day.
• Be a strategic thought partner to Otter's leadership on growth strategy, PLG vs sales-assisted motions, and how to sequence product and partnership bets.

Requirements

• 8+ years in growth marketing, growth product, or product-led growth roles, with experience also leading product or partnership launches.
• Operator experience in a $50M+ ARR environment (SaaS, marketplace, or high-growth product company), ideally with SMB or operator-facing products.
• Proven cross-functional execution with engineering and product. You think in terms of product surfaces, not just campaigns, and you can write briefs engineers can build from.
• Concrete track record of shipping growth experiments - activation lifts, conversion improvements, upsell motions - with results you can speak to.
• Experience leading at least one significant GTM launch (product or partnership) end-to-end.
• Strong technical fluency. Comfortable in SQL, Mixpanel/Amplitude, and modern growth tooling. You can pull your own data and design your own tests.
• Strong product and commercial instincts. You're comfortable pushing back on Product about positioning and on BD about partnership terms when the math doesn't work.
• Comfortable in a high-growth, high-ambiguity environment where the scope of the role will shift across quarters.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence and present to senior stakeholders.

Nice to Have

About the Company

At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time-bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team-so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.
