Responsibilities:
- Take Whatnot global: Our team helped launch Whatnot across the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Canada, and is now focused on helping these markets scale — partnering with Product and Engineering to ensure international needs are built into scalable, global solutions, conducting primary research to identify high-impact opportunities across product, pricing, and incentives, and owning the key metrics that define success in each market including buyer and seller funnels, growth, marketing investments, and margin dynamics
- Scale our marketing engine: As Whatnot dramatically scales its investment in marketing, bring business-side rigor to how capital is deployed, measured, and prioritized — deep-diving into complex channel decisions, building nascent capabilities, and ensuring the org and hiring roadmap keeps pace with our ambitions
- Build a great business: Partner with StratFin and Data to ensure we are building a healthy, durable business — leading analyses across our key margin levers and growth investments, informing pricing decisions, and translating findings into concrete recommendations and actions for leadership
- Help Whatnot run better: Build tooling to serve as a single source of truth for tracking progress against aggressive goals, highlighting key metrics, resource allocation, and blockers — helping teams stay lean and iterate faster
- Deliver for our users: Be among the first to pressure-test new products and capabilities Whatnot is building, partnering with Product, Engineering, and Operations to translate what we learn into initiatives that improve the buyer and seller experience — and owning resolution of high-impact issues end-to-end when things go wrong

- Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, or related field
