Substack is a subscription network for independent writers, podcasters, and video creators to publish their work and earn money from subscriptions.

• Form a deep understanding of the current state of play in your domain and identify the biggest opportunities for development and growth
• Build a compelling roadmap at the short term, medium term, and long term horizons
• Help design and spec projects across the spectrum from experiment, to feature, to large-scale initiative
• Work closely with the leadership team to ensure that your team’s product strategy and the overall company strategy are in lock-step at all times
• Fully own the product marketing and go-to-market strategy for everything your team ships
• Partner with your EM counterpart to inspire and lead a full-stack team of engineers, designers, and product analysts — creating clarity and accountability for them at every level

‍

• A deep understanding of Substack’s product, user base, and market position
• An ability to roll up your sleeves and do what needs to be done with limited resources and support
• Comfortable operating at every level of abstraction (from high level product/business strategy to “what should the CTA say” level details)
• Strong analytical skills, competence in SQL (at least enough to guide an LLM to do your bidding!), and experience with BI tools like Periscope — growth frameworks like cohort analysis and growth accounting should be second nature
• Strong communication skills — must be able to write a compelling strategy doc, internal or external blog post, and present to the company regularly
• Ability to collaborate well with company leadership and other teams
