🚀 WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS NOW

Sitemate's funnel moves two ways. The account team drives adoption and expansion through people. The product drives it through acquisition, activation, retention and referral, across the homepage, microsites, new product sites on the way, and the platform itself.

This role owns the product side. It's a new seat, with a team of 3 engineers already in place. You'll set Growth's KPIs and SLAs, the instrumentation and the experiment cadence. You'll also agree the boundary with Marketing and GTM, and decide how the team grows.

Growth already turns marketing site and product data into signals the sales team acts on, and the first ones are live. Part of the job from day one is scaling that work while shaping what comes next.

📝 THE ROLE

Sitemate's VP of Product, Growth owns acquisition, activation, retention, referral and revenue (AARRR), and the conversion rate between every stage.

Growth sits where product and marketing meet. It doesn't carry a sales or revenue-closing number.

You report to the CEO and run a lean team, so you make experiment and funnel calls yourself. At Sitemate, managers are player-coaches at every level, including the executive team.

You'll represent Growth to the CEO and the executive team, and turn company strategy into a ranked Growth plan.

🎯 WHAT YOU OWN

- The funnel. All five stages, from acquisition to revenue, across the product, homepage, microsites and product sites, and the conversion rate between them. You find the biggest constraint and decide what gets built to move it

- Funnel instrumentation. What gets tracked, how each stage is defined, and whether the data can be trusted. You can specify it precisely and debug it yourself

- Product signals. Turning product, marketing and CRM data into signals the account team acts on: the infrastructure, the analysis, the signal agents, and the call to promote, refine or kill each one against its baseline. Marketing Ops routes each signal to the people who act on it

- The boundary with the account-led motion. GTM drives adoption and expansion through the customer-facing teams. You drive it through the product.

- The Growth org. The current team of 3 and its growth: the hiring bar and sourcing capacity to hit the plan, the org design, headcount plan and budget behind it, and performance, promotion and exit decisions across the team

- The Growth operating cadence. Growth's KPIs and SLAs, multiple experiments a week, and quarterly planning. The scoreboard shows which work moved a baseline (e.g. activation rate, retention curves, referral rate), and you cut what isn't earning its place, even work you sponsored

- Growth's AI adoption. Setting the adoption target, deciding what gets automated first, reporting the measured gain to the executive team, and owning the risk and compliance position behind it

🤝 WHO YOU WORK WITH

- CEO. Your manager and your executive peer.

- VP of Marketing. Your closest partner. They own demand creation, content, brand and paid. You run experiments with them across the homepage, microsites and product sites, and own activation, retention, referral and revenue inside the product. Marketing Ops, in their team, routes the signals Growth builds. Where the boundary is ambiguous, you settle it together and record the decision

- GTM leadership. Sales and Customer Success run the account-led motion and act on the signals Growth builds. You agree what each signal surfaces and replaces, and who owns each shared number

- EPD leadership. Product and Engineering own the roadmap, and Engineering is building the feature flag and experimentation foundation Growth will run A/B tests on. You need a working cadence with them so Growth work ships

- Growth engineers. Your team of 3. You set direction and the experiment standard

- Operations. Your partners on org design, levelling, compensation and hiring

⚡ WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

In rough order of priority:

- Scale product signals and the customer data platform behind them. This is expected to take most of the team's time next quarter. Growth owns the analysis and the signal agents, and Marketing Ops owns routing

- Bring experimentation into Growth. Engineering is building the feature flag and experimentation foundation first. A/B testing comes back to Growth once…
