Product and Growth Specialist (Product Led | Startup | High-Impact Build & Launch)

SUMMARY:
This is one of those rare roles where you don’t just join a product, you help build it, shape it, and take it to market.
 
My client is looking for a Product & Growth Specialist who thrives in early-stage environments, someone who enjoys owning real outcomes, not just writing specs. If you think like a builder, enjoy working closely with engineers, and want to transition into growth, go-to-market, and commercial strategy, this role offers that trajectory.
 
You’ll start by owning the product but quickly evolve into owning growth. Few roles give you that level of influence this early in a company’s journey
