Join us at Taskrabbit, where your work will be meaningful, your ideas valued, and your potential unleashed!.
This role will be remote-first with limited travel through August 2025 with the expectation that employees will begin working 2 days per week in our dedicated office space in New York City starting in September of 2025.
About the Role:
We are seeking a Lead of Suburban Growth to take charge of solving one of Taskrabbit’s largest puzzles: how to unlock meaningful, scalable growth in suburban pockets where we already operate but see
massive opportunity. These areas, often overlooked next to their metro core’s, hold untapped potential for high-margin growth and long-term client value due to their Client profile.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving difficult growth problems, can blend data with local insight and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves to build hyperlocal, custom growth strategies. You’ll define the Suburban Playbook, combining research, channel testing, and go-to-market experimentation to help us crack the code on supply and demand in these market suburbs.
This position reports to the Director of US Commercial Operations and sits within the Commercial organization.
What You'll Work On:
- Identify high-potential suburban pockets within Cornerstone and Momentum metros and deploy myriad strategies to increase revenue in these areas.
- Build suburb-specific GTM strategies that account for unique behaviors, needs and intent across submetro cohort types (Outer Core, Suburb, Edges).
- Conduct user and market research to understand suburban barriers and unlock targeted messaging, category focus and engagement tactics.
- Pilot grassroots awareness channels like Facebook groups, local PR, NextDoor, universities and neighborhood communities.
- Collaborate with Marketing to merchandise suburb-appropriate categories and adapt SEM strategies to improve CPJs in zips with strong LTV.
- Work with Analytics and TSMs to close the invoice ratio gaps to within +/- 1ppt of metro cores.
- Reassess and redefine suburban groupings, recognizing that one size does not fit all (Fairfield ≠ New Haven and Hamptons ≠ Manhattan).
Your Areas Of Expertise:
- 6+ years in growth, strategy, or operations roles in a consumer platform or marketplace business.
- Experience diagnosing and solving underperformance problems in existing markets with an emphasis on supply and demand imbalances.
- Strong intuition for local nuance, with the ability to differentiate between a suburb and its city core, and act on those insights.
- Proven ability to build cross-functional strategies that blend data, research and experimentation.
- Skilled at balancing analytical rigor with a scrappy execution mindset across new and traditional channels.
- A bias for action and a drive to make underperforming markets suburbs and edges “work.”
- Experience using Sigma, Looker, or similar BI tools.

The base pay range for this position is $80,000 - $111,000. This range is representative of base pay only, and does not include any other total cash compensation amounts, such as company bonus or benefits.
