Head of Growth

Head of Growth | Global Product PlatformRemote | Europe High Base + Equity + Remote Working Benefits/Package. I’m working with a well-backed global product company used by millions of designers and developers worldwide on a new Head of Growth hire. This is not a traditional Head of Marketing role. The mandate is to own user growth across the business from registered users, MAU, activation, retention and the full set of growth levers that move those numbers. You’ll inherit an existing marketing function, but the goal is to turn growth into a much more deliberate operating system: clearer metrics, faster experimentation, stronger product-led growth, better channel discipline and a team that ships every week. What you’ll ownOwn the company growth number across registrations, MAU, activation and retentionBuild a clear growth dashboard and weekly operating rhythmLead experimentation across product, lifecycle, SEO/AEO, organic, community and paidPartner closely with Product and Engineering on onboarding, activation and first-success journeysShape positioning and launch strategy across a growing product portfolioProtect strong existing organic acquisition while building the next growth enginesOwn paid and organic as one system, with a strong focus on efficiency and qualityBuild and lead a small, high-performing growth and marketing teamHire capability gaps across growth, product marketing and adjacent functionsCreate a culture of testing, learning, killing weak ideas quickly and scaling what works What we’re looking for8–12+ years across growth and/or marketing leadershipStrong background in PLG SaaS, design tools, creative platforms, developer products or similarly product-led businessesClear evidence of user growth you personally owned and movedDeep understanding of registration, activation, retention, MAU and funnel performanceStrong experimentation mindset, comfortable forming hypotheses, testing quickly and making decisions from dataExperience across SEO / organic, lifecycle, paid acquisition and product-led growthHands-on enough to read analytics, challenge a landing page, rewrite a brief and kill a poor-performing channelStrong product and engineering partnershipExperience building and leading a small multidisciplinary teamComfortable operating in a fast-moving, highly autonomous environment Particularly relevant background and experience from companies in areas such as:design tools, creative software, developer tools, AI-native products, PLG SaaS, creator platforms or self-serve global products would be especially relevant. Why this is interestingThe company already has significant global usage and strong organic acquisition.The opportunity is not to create demand from zero, it’s to systematise and accelerate an existing growth engine, while launching new product surfaces across AI-assisted workflows, developer tooling and next-generation product experiences.It’s a high-impact seat for someone who wants to own the number, stay close to the work and materially shape the next stage of company growth. Package: Strong base + equity, fully remote with flexible hours, unlimited leave, medical cover, home-office setup, learning budget, gym and co-working support.
