We're looking for a General Manager to lead ChuckData's growth as a business, a product, and a community. This is a broad, entrepreneurial leadership role with accountability for strategy, and results. You will lead the P&L, define the vision, orchestrate product and go-to-market understanding, and build a high-performing team.

This is a coach/player role: you'll balance hands-on execution with strategic leadership. Expect to roll up your sleeves on product, growth campaigns, and community engagement, while also guiding the long-term business trajectory. You'll chart the path from technology preview to scaled business.

You will report directly to the Chief Product Officer (CPO) of Amperity and will collaborate with peers across Amperity's product portfolio.

• Translate community insights and market feedback into differentiated product value.
• Go-to-Market & Growth
• Define and own ChuckData's go-to-market strategy across PLG, community, and partnerships.
• Drive adoption and engagement through creative, scalable growth loops: content, events, integrations, and ecosystem partnerships.
