[Remote] Founding Growth Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Melotech is hiring a Founding Growth Manager to own paid acquisition end to end, including budget allocation, campaign operations, creative testing, and performance measurement. The role works closely with the founders, product, and data teams to optimize growth across a portfolio of releases and campaigns.

Responsibilities

• Account structure: deciding what to consolidate and what to split, keeping testing and scaling apart, and segmenting ad sets by geography, age and placement
• Campaign operations: running the campaigns day to day on Meta, TikTok and Snapchat, including budgets, pacing and the targets behind them
• Creative pipeline: building a system that keeps new creatives flowing every week, with clear rules for what wins and what gets killed, and briefs that turn last week's numbers into next week's ads
• Creative partners: directing editors, video producers, UGC creators and agencies to the volume and quality the account needs
• Portfolio allocation: moving budget across many releases and campaigns on data, weighing upside against risk
• Measurement: knowing which metric answers which question, for example what CPM tells you that CPC does not, and catching a shift in cost the day it happens
• Tooling: building the reports, scripts and automations you need, with the ad platform APIs and AI tools as your daily coworkers

Skills

• A hands-on paid operator who thinks like a trader, or a sharp growth generalist who has done the buying
• You have run real budgets yourself, not through a team or an agency, and you can show the numbers
• 2 to 7 years of hands-on paid buying
• You have owned Meta, TikTok or Snapchat end to end
• You have run accounts at real volume, so you can explain how you structured hundreds of ad sets and thousands of creatives without losing control of them
• You test on a schedule with kill rules, direct creative partners instead of making the ads, and notice when a hook or format is burning out
• You are comfortable allocating a budget across many bets with thin margins and making structured decisions under uncertainty
• You check what platforms report against your own data, you have run holdout or lift tests, you judge spend by payback, not cost per click, and you know which metric answers which question, for example what CPM tells you that CPC does not
• You work in SQL or Python, have used the ad platform APIs, and build your own reporting and automations
• You thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment
• Ideally in a startup or small team where you set things up yourself
• Ideally more than one of them and more than once
• Ideally you bring a network of trusted editors, creators and agencies
• Experience with game portfolios, app portfolios, e-commerce with many products or similar
• A data science background
• You stay close to what works in paid social right now, and you're into music, media, gaming or social

Benefits

• Equity; you become an owner of the business.
• Remote work to give you complete freedom over your life.
• Regular global offsites to strategize, bond, and push boundaries together.
