[Hiring] Chief of Network Effects & Growth @Mode Mobile

Role Description

This isn’t a “build it from scratch” play. The rocket’s already off the pad. We’re talking about NGL, a viral Gen-Z social platform with 100+ million monthly active users, a raw, unfiltered space where people can be real, curious, and connected.

Recently joined Mode’s rocket-fuel portfolio, this app is already a cultural phenomenon; now it’s time to turn momentum into mastery. The business already generates mid-eight-figure annual revenue, with headroom to grow profitability through subscriptions, ads, global expansion, and new formats. It’s the next evolution of anonymous, authentic connection.

We’re looking for a General Manager who sees the matrix, a product-obsessed builder who can scale something massive without killing its magic. Someone who instinctively understands why people share secrets online, why virality strikes at 2 a.m., and how to turn that energy into a thriving business. You know how to translate engagement into sustainable revenue growth through ad innovation, conversion optimization, and scalable monetization models.

What You'll Do

• Own the universe. P&L, team, and strategy, it’s yours.
• Turn good into unstoppable. Take a thriving app and evolve it into a long-term cultural force.
• Monetize creatively. Build smarter ad ecosystems, better subscription experiences, and new revenue plays we haven’t dreamed up yet.
• Identify high-ROI monetization opportunities that increase LTV without compromising user experience and retention.
• Ship constantly. Hypothesize → test → ship → learn → repeat.
• Stay dangerously curious. Watch what Gen-Z does next and build ahead of it.
• Grow the tribe. Recruit top talent, build the culture, protect the weirdness.
• Scale with soul. Keep the app’s authenticity intact as we expand globally.
• Be the bridge. Connect your scrappy team with Mode’s shared growth, data, and product firepower.

Qualifications

• 5+ years running product, growth, or GM roles at viral consumer apps, and social, creator, or messaging DNA required.
• A proven record of scaling and evolving, not just chasing downloads, but building real engagement.
• Experience driving monetization strategy, especially across ad-based and subscription-driven models, with measurable impact on revenue and profit.
• Deep empathy for online communities and the messy beauty of human behavior.
• Strong instincts backed by data fluency, you love retention curves, funnel drop-offs, and aha-moments.
• Comfort in ambiguity. Grit under pressure. Confidence without ego.
• A hunger to lead something that’s already big and make it unforgettable.

What Winning Looks Like

• More users, more stickiness, more daily love.
• Revenue climbing in new, creative ways.
• A fast, fearless team that acts like a startup within a startup.
• A community that keeps growing while staying authentic, safe, and wildly fun.

Benefits

• We are a 100% remote-first, global company.
• A competitive compensation package.
• We offer generous perks & benefits to team members.
• Participation in the Company's equity plan (for full-time team members).
• We provide individual bonuses in accordance with our Company Bonus Program.
• Work with energetic, passionate, and results-driven people.
• Celebrate team members' personal and work milestones.
• Remote social activities, including virtual coffee buddies.
• Bonusly - We use Bonusly as a way to recognize and reward team members for their hard work and commitment.
• Weekly Wednesday Get Stuff Done Days (No Meetings).
• Open PTO, generous Company Holidays, and Wellness Days (for full-time team members).
