About you:
- A "Tinkerer" at Heart: You don't wait for permission or resources. You’ve likely prototyped your own tools or sites using Replit, Cursor.
- World-Class Storyteller: You are a strong copywriter who understands that brand is built in the details. You treat a release note not as a list of bullet points, but as a primary storytelling channel. You think about written content, videos, or any medium that communicates to our users.
- Adoption Obsessed: You care deeply about how users feel when they use the product. You focus on the "Aha!" moments and ensure our users understand the value we ship.
- Technical Aptitude: While you lead with creative and brand, you aren't afraid of data. SQL proficiency is a plus; an analytical mindset is a requirement.

- Category & Brand Positioning: Work with founders to define and own the "AI Mental Health" category. Craft compelling positioning that addresses skepticism and establishes Ash as the trusted leader.
- User Comms: Own product communication from end-to-end. You’ll be speaking to our users all the time to get a sense of what matters to them, and find ways to communicate what we do in our product and in our marketing. Your job is to take our users on a journey.
- Product Launches & Adoption: Your goal is not just to announce features, but to drive deep adoption and understanding of why those features matter.
- Voice of the Customer: Act as another feedback loop. Many people on our team do customer interviews, and you will do the same, but trying to learn from your own perspectives.
- Educational Content: Create the guides, tutorials, and "how-to" content that demystify AI mental health, making the unfamiliar feel intuitive.
