- Team & Vendor Management

- Own paid marketing channels, systematically capturing and transferring best practices, processes, and data internally.
- Evaluate, select, and manage external vendors and freelancers as needed to complement internal capabilities.
- Experience
- 6+ years of proven experience leading full‑funnel marketing at high-growth, consumer-facing companies (subscription or D2C preferred).
- Demonstrated success managing substantial paid media budgets ($1M+ monthly spend), optimizing customer acquisition cost (CAC), customer lifetime value (LTV), and driving incremental growth.

- Expert-level proficiency in digital analytics (e.g., Sigma, FullStory, etc.), SQL querying, Excel modeling, and regression analysis.
