Head of Growth Marketing

Zicasso

1d • Remote

About The Position

We are hiring our Head of Growth Marketing to build and scale Zicasso’s traveler acquisition engine. This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of capital allocation, quantitative strategy, and team building. You will lead Zicasso’s growth marketing function, a focused team spanning PPC, SEO, analytics, and content/landing page development and own our paid acquisition strategy, marketing measurement, and funnel optimization across a multi-million-dollar media budget. You’ll partner closely with our data science, product, and operations teams to turn modeling into decisions for budget, pipeline, and revenue. This role requires practitioner-level technical depth across the stack. You won’t be running campaigns day-to-day, but you should be able to audit a PPC specialist’s account structure, challenge a bidding strategy, or pressure-test an attribution model and know when the answer you’re getting is the right one. Zicasso has two characteristics that should excite you and that will shape how you work: A long, high-consideration purchase cycle: travelers move through a 30–90 day planning window, which makes attribution and incrementality genuinely hard problems to solve well. Google as a core engine: paid search is our largest and most important growth lever, and sustaining its efficiency as we scale is one of the central challenges of the role.

Requirements

• 10+ years in growth or performance marketing, with meaningful time spent in high-AOV, high-consideration B2C categories (luxury, travel, real estate, financial services, or complex lead generation), managing multi-million-dollar media budgets.
• Hands-on experience with MMM, incrementality testing, and multi-touch attribution in environments where conversion windows span weeks or months, not days.
• Experience building attribution or measurement infrastructure from the ground up and not just operating existing tools. Bonus for shipping offline conversion pipelines, server-side conversion APIs, or LTV-based bidding signals.
• Experience building repeatable testing systems that connect experiments to budget and roadmap decisions.
• Strong quantitative fluency: SQL, Tableau (or equivalent BI), and advanced spreadsheets.
• Experience leading and developing a senior growth team.
• Executive communication: brings a clear point of view to senior leadership, defends allocation calls with model outputs, and translates complex measurement work into decisions the exec team can act on.

Responsibilities

• Own the top-down quantitative view of all paid media. Use Media Mix Modeling (MMM) and incrementality testing to directly inform three decisions the executive team cares about: how we allocate budget across channels and funnel stages, how we forecast pipeline quality and volume, and how marketing feeds into revenue planning.
• Design an attribution approach that combines MMM, lift studies, geo-holdouts, and platform-level tests into a defensible, multi-layered view and make the measurement case for upper-funnel investment in programmatic, YouTube, and brand.
• Partner with Data Science to translate business goals into data requirements, and turn models into actions the paid media team executes against.
• Own Google strategy as our primary growth channel: intent segmentation, the Performance Max / Search / manual tradeoff, and feeding LTV and offline conversion signals back into Smart Bidding. Scale without eroding lead quality.
• Orchestrate full-funnel strategy across Google, Meta, YouTube, Microsoft Ads, and programmatic (StackAdapt, The Trade Desk, or similar). Develop retargeting and lead-nurture for high-intent travelers who don’t convert on first touch, and lead landing-page and lead-flow CRO in partnership with product.
• Build a structured experimentation pipeline where every test (creative, audience, landing page, channel, bid strategy) is logged, measured against a pre-registered hypothesis, and tied to a downstream investment decision. The goal is a system, not a backlog of one-off tests.
• Lead our growth team of 4-6. Set the analytical guardrails for the team’s day-to-day platform decisions; you should be able to review a campaign audit, a bidding strategy, or an experiment readout and know whether the rationale holds up.
• Define success not just as hitting performance targets but as elevating specialists into strategic operators: people who can own a P&L-adjacent decision, defend it with data, and connect their channel work to company outcomes.
• Partner with Creative, Content, Brand, Product, Data, and Operations to improve creative performance, lead quality, and traveler-specialist matching.
