We are searching for a Chief Product & Growth Officer for one of India's largest consumer content platforms — a business that made an unfashionable bet years ago (make users pay) and won it. Millions of paying subscribers in a market where almost everyone else chose free.
Now comes the harder second act.
The company has content depth almost nobody in India can match. What it does not yet have is the daily habit that matches it. Personalisation lifted consumption but not DAU. Current formats showed traction but not scale. The team knows this and says it out loud — which is the part that made me want to run this search.
The mandate is narrow and heavy: own engagement and retention. Product, design, growth and performance marketing all report in. About 30 people. The 12-month test is 2X DAU.
Who this fits
→ 14–20 years in consumer tech, 5+ leading product and/or growth
→ Has personally moved retention on an app with tens of millions of MAU
→ Has built or scaled a paid consumer subscription business
→ Owned a real performance marketing budget — LTV:CAC, not adjacent to it
→ Shipped ML-driven personalisation, and knows the difference between lifting clicks and lifting retention
