* A solid background in product‑led growth, digital marketing, community, and retention
* Experience managing P&L, budgets, KPIs, and cross‑functional teams
* Strong execution skills and the ability to turn strategy into measurable results
* Understanding of AI‑enabled products and how they can improve learning experiences
* Exposure to B2B sales, partnerships, or institutional business development
