This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at the intersection of generative AI, developer tools, and growth. You will own both the growth strategy and the external service delivery: shaping onboarding experiences, distribution channels, telemetry, experimentation, and growth loops for a live, customer-facing AWS product.
Key job responsibilities
Own the product-led growth strategy and roadmap for an externally-facing AI-powered service. Define the growth model, north-star and input metrics, and a prioritized portfolio of growth bets.
Drive activation and retention. Shorten time-to-value from install to first meaningful outcome, and design onboarding, in-product guidance, and re-engagement mechanisms that turn first-time users into active weekly builders.
Build growth loops into the product, including referral and sharing mechanics, community- and Solutions Architect-contributed skills, and integrations that make the product spread through the builder community.
Own distribution across developer ecosystems. Define requirements and partnerships for IDE marketplaces, plugin registries, and open-source repositories, and meet builders where they work.
Make data the operating system. Partner with Engineering and Data Science to define telemetry, funnel instrumentation, cohort retention, and attribution, and run a regular cadence of A/B experiments and staged rollouts.
Connect self-serve growth with assisted motions. Partner with field marketing, business development, and solutions architecture teams globally so product-led signals reach the right field teams at the right moment.
Drive product discussions with executives (technical and non-technical). Write business proposals, growth narratives, and operational reviews.
