You’re a hands-on growth marketer with a track record of real results, not just agency decks. You’ve scaled paid traffic from scratch and know how to run a lean growth engine.

You’ll thrive if you:

• Have deep expertise in Meta/Facebook performance channel and are ready to expand into others
• Have scaled early-stage ad budgets (e.g. £50/day → £1K+/day)

• Funnel & CRO: Build quizzes and landing pages, track conversions, and run experiments
• Analytics & Budgeting: Own LTV:CAC tracking and reporting; plan and allocate monthly budgets
• Creative Production: Brief, test, and iterate creative (copy + video); contribute to messaging, tone, and positioning
• Team Building: As we scale, hire and lead specialists (media buying, design, content)
• Collaboration: Work closely with customer service and product to ensure growth is sustainable and scalable

• 2+ years hands-on growth marketing experience (startup preferred)
• Proven ability to scale Meta/Facebook ads from scratch
• Experience with early-stage growth: £50/day budgets, not big-budget agency spend
• You’ve shipped funnels, landing pages, email flows, and growth experiments
• Comfortable using Looker Studio, Figma, Hotjar, spreadsheets, and dashboards
• You’re proactive, resourceful, and not afraid to test boldly
• Fluent in English (C1 or above)

• Work directly with founders — quick decisions, no BS
• Remote-first — flexible UK hours

• Massive growth potential — scale budgets, build your team, and shape the future of the company
