[Hiring] Founding Growth Manager @Melotech

Role Description

Melotech is scaling fast, and paid acquisition is one of the engines behind it. As Growth Manager, you own that engine end to end: the budget, the channels, the creative testing and the numbers behind them. This is a paid acquisition role first, measured on what every unit of spend brings back. You decide where the budget goes across a large portfolio of releases and campaigns, in a business where small improvements compound, and you work directly with our founders, product and data team.

Today that means dozens of campaigns, hundreds of ad sets and thousands of creatives across Meta, TikTok and Snapchat. Your first job is to tame that volume:

• Account structure: deciding what to consolidate and what to split, keeping testing and scaling apart, and segmenting ad sets by geography, age and placement
• Campaign operations: running the campaigns day to day on Meta, TikTok and Snapchat, including budgets, pacing and the targets behind them
• Creative pipeline: building a system that keeps new creatives flowing every week, with clear rules for what wins and what gets killed, and briefs that turn last week's numbers into next week's ads
• Creative partners: directing editors, video producers, UGC creators and agencies to the volume and quality the account needs
• Portfolio allocation: moving budget across many releases and campaigns on data, weighing upside against risk
• Measurement: knowing which metric answers which question, for example what CPM tells you that CPC does not, and catching a shift in cost the day it happens
• Tooling: building the reports, scripts and automations you need, with the ad platform APIs and AI tools as your daily coworkers

Qualifications

• 2 to 7 years of hands-on paid buying, ideally in a startup or small team where you set things up yourself
• Ownership of Meta, TikTok or Snapchat end to end, ideally more than one of them and more than once, with real volume experience
• Experience in creative testing at scale with kill rules and a network of trusted editors, creators and agencies
• Comfort in portfolio optimization across many bets with thin margins
• Experience with measurement and payback, including running holdout or lift tests
• Proficiency in SQL or Python, with experience using ad platform APIs
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment

Requirements

• Stay close to current trends in paid social
• Interest in music, media, gaming or social

Benefits

• Competitive salaries and equity ownership in the business
• Remote work flexibility
• Regular global offsites for strategizing and team bonding
