What you'll do

As the first product hire, you will:

  • Productize onboarding. Deliver early moments of magic, own usage KPIs, optimize conversion funnel.
  • Own the customer. Shape feedback loops with engineering, triage feature requests and manage support. Earn customer love through community building; own NPS.
  • Build community assets. Create crisp tutorials and guides, showcasing the kind of work that Tuva powers.
  • Productize early GTM infra: CRM, automated outbound, basic marketing
  • Report directly to the CEO, doing what needs to get done across product, GTM, ops, PR, fundraising, etc.
  • Grow into leading a company function (Product, Growth) as determined by mutual fit.
  • Have immense visibility into and ownership over every aspect of a well funded, high growth company during the 0→1 phase. Learn the ropes and build the networks to start your own company someday.
  • Who you are:

  • You love science and scientists. Maybe you have scientists in your family, have a technical degree and did research in college, or maybe you just feel a sense of wonder when you look up at the Milky Way on a dark, moonless night.
  • You have a 2-4 year track record of getting things done in cross-functional roles that don't end at 5pm—a PhD, product/growth/ops at startups, VC, consulting, banking, PE, etc.
  • You're known for your incessant motor and optimism, especially in the face of uncertainty. “Yes and”, “I've got it”, and “we'll figure it out” are core vocabulary.
  • You have independent networks of academic scientists or R&D-forward organizations (e.g. biotech, hardware, aerospace/defense, chemicals/materials) or are excited to build them
  • You're a collaborative, loyal person who gets along with and cares about many kinds of people. Relationships outlast ideas and organizations.
  • Even if all of these do not apply, please reach out if our mission and attitude resonate. Humans are not checklists.
