- Shape how first-party, second-party, and third-party agents interact with HubSpot through APIs, MCP, and emerging agent frameworks.
- Drive API parity initiatives so customers and partners can access HubSpot capabilities consistently through both UI and programmatic interfaces.
- Partner closely with Data Platform, Partnerships, and Product Hub leaders to create a unified builder experience across HubSpot's intelligence, data, and work layers.
- Develop monetization strategies for APIs, ecosystem products, and agent-powered experiences that support HubSpot's transition toward outcome-based and consumption-based business models.
- Lead and develop a senior, multi-team product organization across platform, marketplace, and ecosystem experiences.
- Build a seamless developer experience by improving API/MCP quality, documentation, tooling, governance, and platform reliability.
- Define how developers, partners, and go-to-market builders create AI-powered applications, workflows, agents, and integrations that drive measurable customer outcomes.
- Drive a best-in-class marketplace experience that enables customers to discover, evaluate, and adopt ecosystem solutions.
- Partner cross-functionally with Developer Relations, Partnerships, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to embed ecosystem solutions into the flywheel.
- Establish operating models, decision frameworks, and execution cadences that enable fast, data-driven ecosystem innovation.
- Represent HubSpot externally with developers, partners, and industry leaders to shape ecosystem strategy and credibility.
