This role is well-suited for someone who is analytically strong, execution-oriented, and eager to deepen their understanding of full-funnel growth in a client-facing, operator-led advisory environment.

Responsibilities:

• Support client growth engagements, helping manage growth-related workstreams and ensuring alignment with overall project goals, timelines, and success metrics.
• Contribute to the development of integrated growth strategies, spanning acquisition, retention, and brand, grounded in unit economics and business objectives.
• Assist in planning and structuring full-funnel marketing roadmaps, including channel mix, budget allocations, targets, and testing priorities.
• Analyze marketing and customer performance data, including CAC, ROAS, LTV, cohort behavior, and funnel metrics, to generate insights and recommendations.
• Support performance marketing oversight, including campaign analysis, reporting, and coordination with agencies or execution partners.
• Contribute to brand and campaign planning, helping translate strategy into clear briefs, calendars, and execution plans in collaboration with creative, product, or external teams.
• Build and maintain growth dashboards and reporting, synthesizing channel performance, KPIs, and business impact for founders and executives.
• Partner cross-functionally with finance, product, and operations to ensure growth plans are aligned with broader business priorities.
• Support execution and follow-through, tracking initiatives, timelines, and outcomes to ensure accountability and momentum across engagements.
• Stay current on growth and marketing trends, tools, and best practices to continuously improve client outcomes.

Requirements:

• Extreme drive that is contagious, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to manage up with a high degree of autonomy and self-reliance.
• Strong organizational skills and experience managing multiple projects simultaneously, with a consistent focus on meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality results.
• Willingness to roll up sleeves and engage in nitty-gritty executional tasks that come with working in an early-stage, fast-moving environment.
• 2–4 years of experience in growth marketing, performance marketing, analytics, consulting, or a high-growth startup environment; consumer experience preferred.
• Working knowledge of multi-channel marketing strategies, including paid media, lifecycle/email, SEO, affiliates, content, and brand marketing.
• Ability to blend creative thinking with data-driven insights, translating analysis into clear recommendations, campaigns, and execution plans.
• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with marketing and customer data; experience with tools such as Excel, Google Analytics, ad platforms, or BI tools.
• Ability to translate complex information into clear, concise narratives and present insights effectively to internal teams and client stakeholders.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and imperfect information, able to structure problems and move work forward with limited direction.
• Collaborative team player with a proactive, entrepreneurial mindset.
• Bachelor's degree in marketing, business, economics, or a related analytical field.
