Alt is growing! This role leads the charge on new user count: how many collectors land on Alt, how many make a first submission or a first bid, and how many come back without being asked. That number is the job. Everything else in this description is downstream of it.
This is a builder seat, not a product management seat. You own the seller submission funnel, buyer search and discovery, and the experimentation infrastructure underneath both, and you own them the whole way: you find the drop-off, you write the code, you ship it behind a flag, you read the result, you keep it or you kill it.
What this role is not: writing PRDs for someone else to implement, running roadmap ritual, managing a pod, or translating between engineering and the business. If that’s the shape of your last five years, this probably isn’t the right fit, and we’d rather say so up front than waste your time.
What it is: pulling the funnel yourself in SQL on Monday, shipping the onboarding change on Tuesday, standing up the experiment harness that makes Wednesday’s test trustworthy, and putting a model behind dealer reactivation instead of a campaign.
You report directly to the CEO. If you want a CEO in the build with you, this is that. If you want distance from the top, it isn’t.
The metrics you own: Submission Volume (weekly, by seller segment) and Search-to-Bid Conversion. Supporting KPIs: Snap to Sell activation rate on first submission, seller reactivation rate among dormant sellers, daily active search query volume, listing rate (vaulted inventory live on marketplace), ship-and-decide velocity (changes shipped and tests called per week), and dealer segment submission frequency and GMV.
The people who are great at this have run growth inside a system that was already working, not just inside a roadmap someone else set. They ship their own code. And they are participants in this market: they buy, they sell, and they have a view on where liquidity actually goes.
