  2. Partner with design and research to deeply understand customer needs across inspiration, dietary filters, and health-forward discovery; translate insights into simple, elegant product experiences.
  3. Define success metrics and run a rigorous experimentation program (A/B tests, multivariate tests) to improve core outcomes such as engagement, conversion, and retention.
  4. Work cross-functionally with engineering, data science, operations, partnerships, legal, and privacy to deliver responsibly built features at scale, balancing speed with quality and compliance considerations.
  5. Build alignment across diverse stakeholders, communicate tradeoffs and decisions with clarity, and ruthlessly prioritize to maximize customer and business impact in a fast-paced environment.
