This is a newly created position - and that is exactly the point.
Some parts of this role are established enough to hit the ground running.
You will be expected to bring your own structure, your own hypotheses, and your own energy.
If you do your best work when a role is clearly scoped with established processes, defined lanes, and step-by-step guidance, this is not the right fit.
But if you are energized by ambiguity, motivated by ownership, and capable of building clarity where little exists - we want to talk to you.
We are looking for a self-starter who can operate with limited resources, move fast, test ideas, and grow this function in direct support of our subscription goals.
