About this role
About the role
We’re hiring a Marketing Manager to act as a right hand to the Head of Marketing. This is not a coordination role. This is not a “manage agencies and report back” role. You are expected to step in and contribute immediately, take ownership, and drive outcomes without heavy onboarding or constant direction.
You will operate across the full marketing stack, including Meta, Google, Amazon, email, and SMS. The goal is simple: identify what moves revenue, prioritize it, and execute fast.
What you’ll own
Drive revenue across Meta, Google, Amazon, email, and SMS
Identify bottlenecks across the funnel and fix them
Launch and iterate on landing pages, funnels, and offers
Contribute to paid media performance through creative direction and testing input
Own retention channels (email and SMS) as part of the broader system, not in isolation
Run A/B tests across channels and turn insights into action quickly
Build and manage a clear testing roadmap based on impact, not guesswork
Work directly with the Head of Marketing on strategy and execution
Report on what matters: revenue, efficiency, and what to do next
What we’re looking for
Must-haves
You have driven real revenue, not just managed campaigns
You understand paid media and how to scale it
You are comfortable across email, funnels, CRO, and performance marketing
You can look at data and quickly identify what’s working and what’s not
You move fast and ship without overthinking
You take ownership and do not wait for instructions
You can write or direct strong conversion-focused copy
Strong plus
Experience with Amazon, both listing and ads
Background in high growth DTC, SaaS, or consumer tech
Experience working closely with media buyers and creative teams
Experience running email and SMS at scale
Previously operated as a right hand or generalist in a fast moving company
Who this is NOT for
You need detailed onboarding and step by step instructions
You’ve mainly managed agencies without owning outcomes
You prefer planning over execution
You are not comfortable being accountable for revenue
Who you are
Self-directed - you don't wait to be told what to test next
Fast - you ship, learn, and iterate without overthinking
Commercially minded - everything you do ties back to revenue
Switched on and enthusiastic about what we're building
Clear communicator - short updates, no noise, no excuses
Comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving startup environment
What we offer
Direct impact on a fast-growing YC company with strong early revenue traction
Work directly with senior team and founders who care about quality and move fast
High trust, high ownership environment
Competitive compensation
