[Hiring] Head of Growth Marketing @Marco Polo

Role Description

We're currently seeking a Head of Growth Marketing at Marco Polo. This role is primarily focused on Marco Polo Circles — a new, fast growing offering from Marco Polo that matches people based on life stage and interests, helping them build real friendships through video messages on their own schedule.

This is a rare opportunity to own growth end-to-end for a product that is genuinely changing how people make friends — and to do it at a profitable, purpose-driven consumer company. We're looking for a seasoned, hands-on leader who can both set the strategy and roll up their sleeves — someone who has grown consumer apps and treats AI not as a tool but as a fundamental shift in how great marketing gets done.

• Own the full growth funnel for Circles:
  • Paid and organic acquisition
  • Conversion
  • Activation
  • Retention
  • Referrals
  • Upgrades
• Lead paid marketing performance:
  • Set the strategic direction for paid acquisition across mobile and social channels (Meta, TikTok, Google, and beyond)
  • Challenge creative and optimization decisions
  • Set standards for ROAS and payback targets
  • Build or elevate the team that executes at scale
• Lead a cross-functional growth team:
  • Manage a mix of marketers, product managers, and designers
  • Create clarity, build momentum, and foster a culture of learning and high performance
• Drive AI-powered growth capabilities:
  • Identify, pilot, and scale AI tools across acquisition, creative, and lifecycle
  • Raise everyone's fluency as you go

Qualifications

• 10+ years of growth or performance marketing experience, with at least 4 years in a people management role at a consumer company
• Deep experience in paid user acquisition across mobile and social platforms
• Strong command of mobile measurement and attribution
• A genuine, ongoing obsession with AI in marketing
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable in dashboards and data-driven decision making
• Experience marketing a subscription product and understanding of the economics of LTV, payback periods, and sustainable growth
• A track record of driving results with lean resources
• Genuine alignment with Marco Polo's purpose of helping people feel close

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, vision and dental coverage plus benefits that support your mental health and emotional well-being
• Flexible paid time off, generous company holidays and self care days
• 100% remote, anywhere in North America
• A work schedule built to fit your real life
• Quarterly in-person and virtual team retreats
• Compensation: Target salary for this position is $200,000 to $250,000 per year
