Requirements

Extensive experience in performance marketing and growth hacking, with a proven track record of running paid ad campaigns that have driven 500k+ impressions, reduced CAC, or achieved measurable scaling in a fintech, crypto, or startup environment
Startup experience, ideally in fintech, DeFi, or high-growth tech, where you've optimized growth funnels and experimented with rapid iterations to achieve product-market fit and user expansion
Strong analytical skills: Proficiency with tools like Amplitude, Google Analytics, or Mixpanel to dissect data, run cohort analyses, and derive hypotheses for A/B tests and optimization
Hands-on expertise managing social media accounts, creating content strategies, and producing professional-grade assets using tools like Premiere, Photoshop, and AI generators—without heavy external support
Deep understanding of DeFi primitives (staking, restaking, LSTs) and growth tactics in crypto ecosystems, combined with the ability to blend data-driven marketing with compelling narratives that resonate with degens, builders, and institutions

Analyze real-time data from DeFi metrics (TVL, volume, user acquisition costs, LTV) and ad platforms to iterate on strategies, identifying growth hacks that boost retention, virality, and protocol activity
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to build and test growth experiments, such as referral programs, automated drip campaigns, and funnel optimizations that translate technical features (e.g., restaking, new integrations) into user growth
Run targeted paid ads with a focus on segmentation, retargeting, and lookalike audiences to maximize CAC efficiency, while integrating growth hacking tactics like viral loops and community-driven activations
