Kula is addressing a universal human need that Silicon Valley companies are not yet meeting– the need to feel connected & accepted within a community based on shared values. Kula's goal is to leverage advances in ML, along with sophisticated UX design, to develop, sustain, and enhance real-life wellness communities. Kula recently raised a pre-seed round led by Andrew Ng’s AI Fund and is now looking to add a Product Growth Lead to their founding team. The Growth Lead will play a crucial role in leading high-growth product initiatives including conducting customer research and user engagement, developing product strategy, and building and managing the product roadmap. This is a remote role with a competitive compensation and benefits package.
Kula is supported by the AI Fund based in Palo Alto, California. AI Fund is a team of diligent innovators who build great companies that move humanity forward by accelerating the adoption of AI. Dr. Andrew Ng founded AI Fund as a startup studio focused on resolving problems to move the world forward. AI Fund builds new AI companies to bridge AI technology and critical applications. Just as electricity transformed numerous industries, AI and AI Fund are poised to do the same.

Here is what you will do:

  • Own and lead all experimentation to improve user experience across all phases of a person’s journey with Kula, from acquisition to their first magic moment, to bringing new people onto the platform.
  • Take over and own our experimentation framework & roadmap.
  • Work with all members of the leadership team to: Gather input and formulate hypotheses, estimate the impact of potential experiments, determine the level of effort and systems impact of experiments, and develop testing and measurement strategy.
  • Research approaches that are taken by other companies within and outside our sector to formulate additional hypotheses.
  • Lead the leadership team through the process of prioritizing our experimentation roadmap.
  • Develop consensus.
  • Lead the process of implementation, measurement, and hypothesis testing.
  • Run experiments independently when possible.
