- Implement a disciplined experimentation practice, including forming hypotheses, designing A/B tests, defining success metrics, and making evidence-based decisions.
- Monitor and report on core consumer KPIs, including conversion rate, listing-to-sale rate, activation, repeat purchase, subscription retention, NPS, and customer complaints.
- Partner with Operations (inspection, logistics, customer service), Marketing and Growth (acquisition, CRM), and Finance to ensure product changes are effective end-to-end.
