Design and run experiments across the funnel, using data and user insights to shape hypotheses, validate ideas quickly, and scale what works
Translate complex systems into simple product experiences, using systems based thinking to map loops, dependencies, and constraints across Local Business, Ads, and Opportunity Alerts
Ship both 0 to 1 products and meaningful improvements to existing flows, balancing speed and quality and sequencing work to learn fast while building durable foundations
Work deeply with Data partners to define the metrics hierarchy for your areas, build tracking specs, and instrument end to end journeys across neighbor and business surfaces
Partner closely with Operations to make sure launches are operationally sound and that we have the right playbooks and guardrails for scaled programs and marketplaces
Collaborate with Product Marketing and Comms on narratives and GTM, especially for SMB and local business audiences who are new to Nextdoor or to our paid products
Connect the dots across teams so Local Business, Ads, Opportunity Alerts, and core consumer experiences reinforce one another instead of competing
Communicate clearly with executives and cross functional partners, bringing structure and clarity to ambiguous spaces and driving alignment on priorities, tradeoffs, and outcomes
