👀 WHO WE ACTUALLY NEED (and who we don’t)

• This isn’t for freelancers moonlighting or wanting a side hustle.

• It’s not for someone who enjoys being busy more than being effective.

• It’s not for someone who isn’t interested in real ownership, accountability, and building growth at scale.

This is however for someone who:

• Has 4+ years experience in growth, performance marketing, or similar Ecommerce/DTC scaling-focused roles.

• Background in Ecommerce/D2C within a fast-growth environment is highly valued.

• Ideally have experience with scaling media budgets above $500k per month.

• Is highly analytical and comfortable building and owning forecasts, models, and growth plans.

• Thinks in leverage, systems, and ROI - not tasks.

• Stays up-to-date with Meta's (and other ad platforms) latest algorithm changes, to leverage new opportunities for growth.

• Can prioritise and focus on what actually moves business results.

• Is proactive, autonomous, and doesn’t wait to be told what to do.

• Is comfortable managing agencies and relationships with key platforms.

• Wants real ownership and responsibility (not just a job title).

• Cares deeply about building something meaningful and helping people sleep better.

🎯 WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Own media planning, forecasting, and budget allocation, ensuring spend is aligned with Contribution Margin, MER, and ROAS targets.

• Manage paid acquisition channels end-to-end (including hands-on execution in ad accounts when needed) while also leveraging agency and tool support to scale efficiently.

• Lead structured testing frameworks across creative, landing pages, offers, and audiences to unlock growth.

• Collaborate closely with our Creative Strategists, providing clear performance insights and direction to improve creative output and iteration speed.

• Use tools like NorthBeam (MTA), Prescient (MMM), and in-platform data to make informed, data-driven decisions.

• Monitor performance daily and proactively turn insights into measurable performance improvements.

• Build scalable systems and processes so growth doesn’t rely on manual work or firefighting.

• Prepare the growth function to scale as the business grows (including future team expansion and channel diversification).

🎁 WHAT YOU GET

• Bonus Program - Paid quarterly to the entire team when we hit our objectives

• Fully remote with async flexibility

• Unlimited vacation and sick leave days

• Paid courses, coaching, and personal growth budget to help you level up

• We trust you to own your work and drive results
