About The Position

Rockstar is recruiting for a fandom-powered wellness brand creating functional powders for women who romanticize their rituals. They sit at the intersection of wellness, culture, and storytelling, starting with the reading ritual and expanding into a broader world of mood-first, aesthetically driven products. The brand believes growth should be intentional, disciplined, and brand-aligned. They care about contribution margin, creative quality, and building something durable. This is a foundational hire at an early-stage, well-capitalized DTC brand with experienced founders. The Role The brand is hiring a Director of Growth to build, own, and operate its growth engine from the ground up. This is a hands-on role. The candidate will personally manage channels, launch tests, analyze performance, and make budget tradeoffs. Over time, they will build a team and scale systems, but in the early stages they are in the work. Who This Role Is For This role is for a growth operator who is ready to step into full ownership of growth, performance, and channel economics. They have: - Been early at a high-growth DTC brand and operated inside a serious growth engine - Personally managed paid media, testing roadmaps, and performance reporting - Worked closely with brand and creative teams and understand how to make creative perform without diluting the brand - Strong familiarity with Shopify and how site, merchandising, and growth intersect - Exposure to Amazon as a launch or growth channel They are now looking for: - A step up in scope, not just title - Ownership across acquisition, conversion, retention, and economics - A role where execution matters more than hierarchy If they prefer delegating to large teams or operating purely at the strategy level, this is not the role.
