Drive business planning and marketplace optimization through rigorous goal setting, KPI management, budget allocation and performance reviews. Leverage deep analytical problem solving to uncover structural opportunities across merchant coverage, creator participation, content distribution and marketplace health, and translate insights into actionable business strategies. 3. Incubate and scale strategic growth initiatives by tackling ambiguous business problems and validating new growth hypotheses. Design incentive mechanisms, operating models and GTM strategies that improve marketplace efficiency, strengthen supply quality, and establish scalable playbooks across the vertical. 4. Partner with Product and cross-functional leaders to shape platform capabilities and business strategy. Translate market insights and operational learnings into product roadmaps, resource allocation decisions and organizational priorities, influencing how the vertical evolves over the long term.
