Future squad role

Community Growth Lead

Growth squad · Retention & belonging

Team seat: Growth Lead seat (Retention & belonging)

Own retention and belonging — community loops and activation, not vanity spikes.

In the venture, you will

  • Build community and retention loops that keep users
  • Activate new users so the venture holds who it finds
  • Partner with Product on onboarding that sticks
  • Compete for Growth Lead with community evidence — distinct from Marketing or paid growth

Team placement is based on evidence and venture need — this is the job this track prepares you for, not an automatic title. Several specializations may compete for the same team seat; each keeps its own craft identity.

In a Phase B squad

Growth, community & design

In Phase B, Growth & Design specializations split into Marketing Lead, Community Growth Lead, and Performance Marketing Lead for the Growth seat, while UX/UI is the Design Lead job on the Engineering pod. Team placement picks one Growth Lead and one Design Lead — tracks prepare different crafts, not the same role.

Typical seats: Growth Lead · Design Lead

Inside this track

  • Deep craft work in Growth & Community across a six-month Phase A rhythm.
  • Shared UTP Core and Venture Thread for every builder — specialization is your edge, not your only curriculum.
  • Weekly projects, feedback, and portfolio evidence that inform Phase B team placement.
