The founders know what they have built. Now they need someone to help them scale it. The Role This is a senior, hands-on leadership position reporting directly to the founders. You will own the full 360 marketing strategy - performance, retention and conversion - and be held accountable for revenue outcomes, not just activity. It is a player-coach role in the truest sense.
