About the role

We are hiring a Senior Director of Growth Marketing to define, lead, and optimize the entire customer journey, driving efficient and scalable growth for Huckleberry as the marketing lead in the Growth Pod.

This role is the key strategic owner of the Growth Marketing Funnel—from User Acquisition (UA) through Activation and Retention. This leader reports to the VP of Brand Marketing, manages Director-level reports (who lead team execution), and serves as the primary marketing principal within the high-leverage, cross-functional Growth team (Product, Engineering, Analytics, UX Design).

The ideal candidate blends rigorous data analysis with creative strategy to connect paid efforts, organic content, and lifecycle messaging, ensuring maximum LTV:CAC.

Areas of Responsibility

Holistic Growth Strategy

Full Funnel Strategy: Define the holistic, end-to-end growth marketing strategy that seamlessly connects User Acquisition>Activation/Conversion>Retention. Ensure that functional strategies across the growth marketing verticals are unified under a single growth objective within the Growth Pod, while staying apprised of Brand marketing inputs into growth.
Unit Economics (LTV:CAC): Own the ultimate accountability for optimizing the efficiency of the marketing investment. Drive monthly/quarterly forecasting and resource allocation based on LTV and conversion performance at every stage of the funnel.

Director Leadership & Alignment: Lead, mentor, and align direct reports to create and execute strategy within their respective domains (e.g., Performance, LCM + CM, etc.) to ladder up into growth pod strategy.

Cross-Functional Growth Pod Integration

Product-Marketing Bridge: Serve as the strategic marketing leader within the Growth Pod, translating marketing funnel insights into clear, prioritized objectives to inform pod strategy and the roadmap.
Data & Attribution: Partner closely with Business Analytics to ensure robust, end-to-end attribution and reporting, providing the entire pod with a single source of truth for growth marketing metrics.
Experimentation: Champion a culture of rapid, statistically sound A/B testing across marketing channels and key product surfaces (onboarding, feature adoption prompts).

Channel Strategy & Execution Oversight

Provide strategic guidance to the teams responsible for driving direct growth marketing, including being the direct owner of the holistic User Acquisition portfolio.
Performance Marketing: Oversee for the strategy and budget optimization for all paid channels (SEM, Paid Social, Programmatic).

Affiliate Management: Strategically manage the Affiliate Marketing agency to ensure brand compliance and high-quality, efficient user volume.

ASO Ownership: Directly take accountability for App Store Optimization (ASO), managing execution or quickly resourcing the function to maximize organic app downloads.
Content Marketing: Direct the Content strategy to maximize Organic Growth (SEO), focusing content efforts on generating high-intent users/leads that seamlessly flow into the activation and lifecycle funnels.
Lifecycle Marketing (Activation, Conversion & Retention): Oversee the strategy for CRM channels (Email, Push, In-App). Focus on improving key retention metrics, reducing early-stage churn, driving user adoption of high-value features and purchase conversion.

Requirements

Experience: 10+ years of progressive experience in Growth or Performance Marketing in the consumer subscription industry, with a minimum of 4+ years in a senior leadership role successfully managing Director-level reports
Holistic Funnel Mastery: Proven success in unifying and optimizing the full-funnel—demonstrating expertise in driving both efficient Acquisition and purchase conversion with considerations for effective Retention
