Company mission
To empower everyone to make video content - without cameras, microphones or studios.
Role
Who you are
- We’d love to hear from you if you have extensive experience in user journey improvements, activation, pricing, and packaging
- You've previously run pricing and packaging projects that have produced tangible revenue growth
- You have extensive experience with user journey improvements that have produced meaningful activation uplifts
- You're first-principles thinker and not just implementing a known playbook
- You are somewhat technical; you are familiar with the basics of HTML and JavaScript and are able to assess engineering needs and confidently communicate with engineers
- You are data-driven and not afraid to dig into data yourself or write an SQL statement or two
What the job involves
- We’re looking for our first ever Head of Growth at Synthesia. Using your extensive experience in optimising and maximising the user journey in scaling SaaS organisations, you will focus on how our Self-Service platform impacts revenue growth at Synthesia
- This is a super exciting role—not only because we work with AI, but also because we are one of the few AI companies with real user scale. We have thousands of new users every day, providing plenty of data to analyse and test hypotheses
- This is a high-impact and collaborative role where you will partner closely across our Sales, Product and Website teams, whilst reporting to our VP Marketing
- Ultimately, you will own the user journey and conversion from freemium to paid
- Optimise all user flows to drive adoption, retention, and expansion—both in product and email (sign-up, drop out, cancellation, expansion, monthly to annual, etc.)
- Own how we price and package our Self-Service product, the competitive landscape, and how any changes will affect revenue
- Optimise the flow from self-serve to sales-led (identifying triggers and serving the sales team) and partner with Revenue Leaders (Including our CRO) when necessary
Our take
Video is an integral part of companies’ marketing strategies, and the adoption of synthetic media has grown in popularity. As organisations are investing in videos, startups are building platforms to support the process. Synthesia is an AI-powered video generation platform that saves enterprises up to 100x the cost and time of producing a video.
The company leverages deep learning to simulate real videos and real actors without the need for costly infrastructure like camera crews, actors, cameras, studios, and a lengthy post-production process. Synthesia’s first product STUDIO launched in public beta in the summer of 2020 and it is now used by 30,000+ companies, including the BBC, Teleperformance, Amazon, and Reuters.
Notably, Prof. Matthias Niessner, one of the co-founders of the company, is behind some of the most well-recognised research projects in the field Deep Video Portraits and Face2Face. The company's intuitive interface has grown to become the #1 rated video creation platform, proving its strong ability to capitalise on the growing AI in media market – which is estimated to be worth $99.48 Billion by 2030.
