As Jacob's Head of Growth, your mission is to architect and lead the digital growth engine powering Jacob’s profitable growth while expanding our cultural footprint in clean eating and high-performance living. You will build the digital machine that makes Jacob a household name. This is a high-impact, high-energy role at the forefront of performance, digital storytelling, and cultural relevance.

While your actual responsibilities will be vast, and rapidly evolving as our business does, here is a high-level outline of your responsibilities:

Own all paid acquisition channels (Meta, Google, Amazon, TikTok, affiliate) with full accountability for CAC, ROAS, and new customer growth.
Lead and scale a team of internal and external media buyers, ensuring campaigns launch on time and meet performance targets.
Design and implement creative testing frameworks that rapidly validate new hooks, formats, UGC, and influencer content across platforms.
Integrate influencer and affiliate programs into paid acquisition strategy to maximize reach, social proof, and content leverage.
Drive funnel optimization through landing page testing, CRO strategy, and A/B experimentation to boost conversion rates and AOV.
Forecast growth and plan media budgets in partnership with Finance and Ops, aligning spend with revenue targets, contribution margin, and inventory constraints.
Build performance dashboards and feedback loops to drive daily optimization, inform strategic bets, and uncover growth opportunities across the funnel.

5+ years of experience in supply chain or operations at a CPG company, with at least 1 year in a leadership or ownership role. (we are looking for someone who has previously done this in a similar/adjacent category)
Full-stack paid media fluency across Meta, Google, Amazon, TikTok, and affiliate, with a track record of profitably scaling acquisition spend while managing CAC, ROAS, and LTV.
Strong financial literacy with experience building growth forecasts, managing P&Ls, and partnering with Finance/Ops to tie spend to contribution margin and cash flow constraints.
Advanced analytical skills: can pull and interpret data, build dashboards, and apply cohort, payback, and incrementality insights to strategic decisions.
Proven team builder and manager: experienced in managing internal hires and external vendors, setting KPIs, and creating systems that scale.
Experience building and implementing SOPs and introducing operational discipline to early-stage orgs.
Please write “34” at the top of your cover letter.
Creative performance mindset: understands UGC, hooks, editing frameworks, and how content drives conversion; able to brief and iterate rapidly with content and brand teams.
