Mode Mobile is standing up a new business unit with a new portfolio of apps. They are smaller than our flagship products, they move faster, and they carry more risk. The portfolio opens with two apps, one in wellness and one in personal budgeting, and more will follow. Every app in this group is a bet. Some will find an audience and a business, some will not, and the job is to figure out which is which quickly and without spending more than the answer is worth.

• There is no task you are not willing and able to take on; scrappy and resourceful are two adjectives you use to describe yourself.
• You build monetization models that may include subscriptions and/or advertising, and you understand the tension between…
