<h3><strong>DESCRIPTION</strong></h3> <p>quip is rebuilding how it acquires and keeps direct-to-consumer customers, and the Director, DTC Channel owns that rebuild. Subscription is the heart of our business, and this seat owns whether it grows: the channel P&L, the acquisition budget, and the full funnel from first click through first repeat purchase.</p> <p>This is a hands-on role. You’ll set the strategy and then get into the work to prove it out, in the numbers, the funnel, and the platforms themselves. Expect to move from a spend review to a checkout conversion problem to a subscriber churn cohort in the same week, and to own the number across all three.</p> <p>In your first 90 days we’d expect a clean baseline of the funnel and a prioritized, sized list of where we’re losing customers. From there, measurable movement in blended CAC and payback, and a testing cadence that leaves a record of what worked.</p> <p>This is a <strong>hybrid role </strong>based in our DUMBO, Brooklyn office two days per week. </p> <p><strong>Base Salary: $170k to $190k</strong></p> <p><em>This range represents anticipated base salary range for this position, in addition to competitive benefits and equity (as applicable).
