What You Will Own You own how prospects find Hevo and what happens once they arrive. That spans the organic growth engine, the editorial voice, and AEO strategy that brings technical buyers to the site, plus the trial experience that turns a signup into a paying customer. The two halves are connected: the content you publish sets the intent of the person who signs up, and the trial experience decides whether that intent converts. This role sits roughly 60% on inbound and organic growth, 40% on trial lifecycle and PLG conversion. You are not a reporter of traffic or a reporter of conversion rate. You are the person who defines what good looks like on both sides of the funnel, instruments it, and ships the work that moves it. Core Responsibilities 1.

Trial Lifecycle and Activation Define what trial success looks like: set activation milestones, instrument the funnel, and report on conversion performance weekly Map the trial journey from signup through first pipeline to the aha moment and conversion, and identify where intent drops Design and run lifecycle communications: onboarding email sequences, in-app nudges, and re-engagement flows tied to behavioral triggers Act as the internal voice of the trial user in product, GTM, and leadership conversations 3. Conversion Rate Optimization Synthesize behavioral data (session recordings, funnel drop-off, in-app events) into structured conversion hypotheses with clear success metrics Design and execute CRO across onboarding flows, high-intent landing pages, and trial touchpoints, with documented methodology and learnings Partner with Design on landing page variants for use-case pages, competitor comparison pages, and ICP-segment pages. You define the hypothesis and copy, Design executes Maintain a rigorous experiment log: hypothesis, variant rationale, statistical methodology, results, and learnings 4. Product and GTM Partnership Surface structured, prioritized insights from organic visitors and trial users into the roadmap process weekly Build technically credible collateral: setup walkthroughs, migration guides, and competitive comparison assets written for data practitioners, not buyers Create and maintain a weekly product-to-GTM feedback brief synthesizing signals from content performance, trials, sup
