About The Position

Today, we help millions get outside with products sold at Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Amazon, and our website. We’ve moved past the venture-backed hype and are now under new ownership, building a lean, profitable, and lasting business. If you believe in getting people outdoors and doing work that matters, you’ll fit right in. CatchCo is hiring a Vice President of Growth (Performance Marketing) to own end-to-end profitable customer acquisition across paid media, creative performance, on-site conversion, marketing data/measurement, and lifecycle/email. This role has meaningful autonomy and accountability: you’ll build a repeatable growth system grounded in unit economics and incremental profit—not platform-reported metrics.ments through sales and marketing levers.

Responsibilities

Growth P&L ownership — Own performance marketing end-to-end (ad → site → value), including budget allocation across media, people, and tools; make tradeoffs that protect profitability and payback.
Channel leadership — Lead strategy and execution across key acquisition channels (paid social, search, affiliates, and other performance channels where it makes sense), with clear accountability for results.
Measurement & data integrity — Build a single source of truth for acquisition and customer value (UTM taxonomy, event tracking, GA4/server-side instrumentation, warehouse integration such as BigQuery or equivalent) and make channel economics fully auditable.
Attribution & incrementality — Implement attribution rigor and incrementality testing (holdouts, geo/cohort tests, or equivalent) so decisions reflect incremental lift and profit—not vanity ROAS.
Experimentation engine — Establish a disciplined testing system (hypothesis → sizing → test → analysis → scale) across creative audiences, bidding, landing experience, and lifecycle/email.
Creative performance system — Build repeatable creative ops and a creative-to-scale process that increases the rate of scalable winners and reduces cycle time.
Funnel conversion improvements — Drive conversion-rate improvements through site and landing-page testing, working tightly with ecom/product stakeholders.
Lifecycle & retention levers — Own/lead email and lifecycle strategy (onboarding, reactivation, subscription and retention campaigns) and partner cross-functionally to improve repeat purchase and LTV.
Team & partner buildout — Recruit, onboard, and lead a high-output team (FT + contractors/agencies/freelancers as needed), with clear success metrics and operating cadence.
Operating rhythms & communication — Create clear weekly/monthly rhythms and concise written updates that keep Finance, Data, Ops, and leadership aligned and moving fast.
