We are seeking a high-caliber, data-obsessed Growth Lead to spearhead our App and Platform expansion. In this pivotal role, you will operate at the intersection of Marketing, SEO, Product, and Data.

Maintain a structured experimentation backlog and drive rapid testing across product features, creatives, and CRM journeys.

  • Data Analytics: Leverage data analysis, SQL, and performance dashboards to identify growth opportunities, diagnose funnel friction points, and guide high-impact optimization initiatives.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & OKR Alignment:

  • Act as the strategic bridge between Brand, SEO, Category, Product, and Tech teams to ensure alignment between growth strategy, product development, and market execution.

  • Collaborate with category teams to develop tailored acquisition and retention playbooks that drive high-value transaction behaviors across key verticals.

  • Partner with Product and Tech teams to prioritize growth initiatives within the product roadmap, ensuring new features incorporate scalable growth mechanics.

  • Drive alignment on growth-related OKRs and ensure resources are allocated to the highest-impact initiatives while effectively managing stakeholder expectations.

Team Leadership & Capability Development:

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of Growth and Digital Marketing Specialists, setting clear KPIs and ensuring strong execution across campaigns and growth initiatives.

  • Foster a data-driven culture by guiding the team in structured experimentation, analytical thinking, and continuous optimization.
