About The Position
As a Growth Product Manager for ToolHive , you’ll lead efforts to amplify developer adoption and make ToolHive the default platform for building with MCP. The role focuses on driving top-of-funnel growth, boosting GitHub stars, contributor engagement, and downloads by designing scalable, community-powered growth strategies. You’ll be hands-on in architecting compounding growth loops, refining onboarding flows, and building programs that welcome developers at every stage of their journey. This includes working side-by-side with engineering, design, marketing, and DevRel teammates to launch data-driven initiatives and champion a seamless developer experience. You’ll also gather feedback and insights from the open-source ToolHive community and translate them into meaningful product improvements. Your impact will be reflected in rising community engagement, improved onboarding metrics, and strong developer advocacy for ToolHive as the most secure and intuitive way to connect MCP servers. What Success Looks Like: First 6-12 months Rapid Product & Developer-Experience Fluency: Within the first 3 months, strong fluency in ToolHive’s architecture, developer workflows, and onboarding journey has been established, allowing early identification of high-leverage growth opportunities and adoption friction.
