Requirements

3+ years of hands-on experience in a Growth, Demand Gen, or Performance Marketing role, preferably in a DTC, eCommerce, Marketplace, or PLG (Product-Led Growth) environment.
Transaction-Focused Mindset: You have a track record of driving users to a "Buy Now" or "Checkout" action, rather than just filling out a "Contact Us" form.
Channel Expertise: Demonstrated mastery of paid social (Facebook/Instagram), paid search (Google), and lifecycle marketing. You are comfortable managing a budget and optimizing for ROAS.
Automation Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency with Klaviyo (or similar e-commerce automation platforms) is essential. You understand how to segment users based on purchase behavior and engagement.
AI-Native Workflow: A passion for leveraging new technology. You have hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT for copy, Canva AI for creative, or AI data analysis) to work smarter and faster.
Proactive Builder: You are a self-starter who doesn't need an agency to execute. You are willing to write the copy, create the assets, set up the conversion tracking, and launch the campaign yourself.
Please note this position can only be based in NY, CA, WA, CO, TX, IL, GA, MA, NC, FL, AZ or PA as these are the states we have payroll set up

Responsibilities

Drive User Acquisition & Transactions: Plan, launch, and optimize performance marketing campaigns (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok) to drive immediate traffic, sign-ups, and menu checkouts.
Master Lifecycle & Retention: Own the email and SMS automation stack (Klaviyo). You will build and refine high-converting flows, specifically focusing on abandoned cart recovery, new user activation, and driving repeat purchase behavior.
Own Creative Strategy & CRO: Produce high-performing ad creatives and landing page copy. You will relentlessly test messaging and visuals to improve Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) across the entire self-serve funnel.
Champion Product-Led Growth: Serve as the bridge between Marketing and Product. Analyze user behavior within the app to identify friction points and help optimize the "first-time user" experience to increase checkout rates.
Analyze Unit Economics: Own the growth dashboard. You will monitor Campaign Performance, CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost), ROAS (Return on Ad Spend), and LTV (Lifetime Value), translating data into actionable insights to spend budget efficiently.
