Head of Growth
Mother's Earth · Fully remote · Reports to the CMO · Manages the Head of Strategy, Media Buyers and influencer managers · Owns every paid and acquisition channel Role OverviewMother's Earth is a multiple 8-figure DTC brand running four stores across the Netherlands, Germany, France and the wider EU. We're fully remote, Meta is our core growth engine, and creative is our biggest lever.As Head of Growth you own the acquisition engine: creative output, media buying, budget and the paid P&L. The Head of Strategy, our Media Buyers and influencer managers report to you, and you're responsible for every paid and acquisition channel we run, in-house or through agencies.We're a subscription business, so growth here is a balancing act. You're judged on the new customers you bring in, what they cost, how fast we earn that back, whether they subscribe and stay and what that does to margin over their lifetime. You treat the channels as one system, because what you spend in one moves the results in the others. What you'll ownPlan and budget. The acquisition plan by market, channel and phase, budget allocation and pacing, and a forecast you're accountable for landing.Unit economics. CAC, LTV, first-order margin and payback by market, channel and product. CAC ceilings set from payback and margin, not ROAS alone.The channel mix. Budget allocated on marginal return, not average ROAS, with a clear view of how Meta, Google, TikTok, TikTok Shop and affiliate feed and cannibalise each other.Incrementality and cohorts.
