About The Position

At WHOOP, weâre on a mission to unlock human performance and extend healthspan. We empower our members with real-time, longitudinal health insights that help them understand how their daily choices compound over time, enabling better decisions, sustained behavior change, and better long-term health. WHOOP is hiring a Senior Director, Growth Marketing to own how growth capital is allocated and translated into predictable sales across the business. Reporting to the VP of Growth, this leader will serve as the control plane for growth - overseeing performance marketing, growth forecasting, and commercial go-to-market orchestration across direct acquisition, cross-sell/upsell, and membership renewals. This is a high-impact leadership role for a highly analytical and commercially minded growth operator with deep performance marketing experience and strong strategic judgment. The role focuses on deciding where and how WHOOP invests our performance marketing budget, translating company-level goals into executable GTM plans, and holding the organization accountable to outcomes through clear targets, disciplined forecasting, and rigorous measurement. You will operate at the intersection of growth strategy, performance marketing, finance, and product - bringing clarity, rigor, and coherence to a complex growth system that spans multiple products, channels, and lifecycle stages.

Requirements

Substantial experience leading growth, performance marketing, commercial strategy, and/or revenue planning within high-scale consumer or subscription businesses
Deep hands-on experience with performance marketing, including paid social, paid search, budget pacing, and incrementality measurement at meaningful spend levels
Strong commercial and financial acumen, with a track record of owning forecasts, budgets, and growth targets in close partnership with Finance
Proven ability to allocate capital across multiple growth levers and lifecycle stages, optimizing for long-term value rather than isolated channel metrics
Demonstrated success operating as a strategic partner to Product and Marketing leaders, influencing roadmaps and GTM decisions without direct ownership of product execution
Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with comfort navigating ambiguity, imperfect data, and complex tradeoffs
Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to align senior stakeholders, drive decisions, and maintain clarity in fast-moving environments
Experience building and leading high-performing teams that operate with urgency, rigor, and accountability
Deep belief in the WHOOP mission to unlock human performance and extend healthspan, with genuine excitement for building durable growth systems at scale
Strong commitment to embracing and leveraging AI tools in day-to-day tasks, ensuring AI-assisted work aligns with the same high-quality standards as personal contributions.
