  • Funnel Refinement: Oversee an emerging marketing team and work with them to refine a multi-funnel approach to marketing to the accounting profession that generates leads, accountant hub signups, and accountant conversions in the form of adding clients to FreshBooks.
  • Product Priorities: Work closely with the heads of product development to refine and reprioritize our product development pipeline to ensure it stays in sync with both our wider strategies for the growth of the channel and continues to be designed around the needs and feedback of our accountant partners.
  • Sales Development: Collaborate with sales leadership to ensure we establish best in class sales operations and management, and continue to offer feedback as we refine the sales structure and strategies over time.
  • Support Scalability: Work in tandem with our evolving support infrastructure to ensure we have skilled support teams that are equipped to support accounting professionals in alignment with the ongoing growth of the channel.
