About The Job

As the Senior Director of Growth, you will lead the strategy and execution of initiatives, tools, and customer-facing products that fuel customer and revenue growth. You will lead a product squad (product managers, engineers, designers, data analytics, etc.) to define and execute a product growth roadmap that spans the entire customer funnel across desktop, mobile web, and app – from top-of-funnel acquisition, through conversion, referrals, and lifecycle marketing. You will also manage a high-performing team responsible for paid marketing and campaign performance to reach new qualified audiences, and will work closely with the Executive Team, stakeholders across the organization, and agency partners to align growth initiatives with broader business efforts.

A successful candidate is a customer-obsessed self-starter with curiosity, a growth mindset, and an interest or background in e-commerce and direct-to-consumer sales. Someone who derives energy from working at the intersection of business, technology, and the user experience to deliver supercharged customer and revenue growth.

• Use data-driven insights to optimize every stage of the acquisition funnel. Lead rapid A/B testing to drive improvement in key metrics like impressions, subscriber sign-ups, and overall conversion performance.
• Enhance internal tooling and platforms required to support growth efforts, including the marketing technology stack or reporting dashboards to increase operational efficiency and program scalability.
• Bring a collaborative approach to user acquisition by working across Brand, Merchandising, Business Development, Finance, and other teams to drive growth initiatives.
