If you are a visionary product leader passionate about community-driven experiences and conscious media, Gaia is the place for you to shape the future of digital connection.

  • Analytics & Optimization: Define and track KPIs for growth. Leverage data-driven insights, user research, industry trends and competitive analysis to enhance engagement, retention, and conversion.
  • At Gaia, soft skills are key to success. We seek candidates with strong interpersonal abilities – effective communication, teamwork, prioritization, and problem solving – who can adapt to change, manage conflicts with empathy, and collaborate well with diverse teams. While technical skills matter, we highly value those who build positive relationships, contribute to a supportive culture, and approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset. If this sounds like you, you’ll thrive in our dynamic environment.
