Job Description

  • Own paid acquisition end-to-end. Rapidly test, optimize and scale new high performing channels within the first 6–12 months. You\'ll refine our current channels for immediate results while laying the groundwork for sustainable growth.
  • Discover and test growth channels. Develop hypotheses about where demand for Ash comes from, design fast experiments across paid, organic, social, experiential, referral, and partnership channels, and use analytics to decide what deserves more investment.
  • Own the funnel. Understand how users discover, try, activate, and stick with Ash. Identify where acquisition, onboarding, lifecycle, and monetization can improve, then ship the fixes and measure the lift.
  • Turn product launches into growth engines. Build repeatable launch frameworks, capture what works, and partner across the team to drive cross-sell, upsell, and retention with each new release.
  • Build the learning machine. Create the measurement and feedback loops that let us know what\'s working within weeks, not quarters, so the whole company learns faster.
  • Turn insight into action. Talk to users, review research, and analyze behavior. Translate what you learn into experiments, funnel improvements, and product recommendations.
  • Invent new demand. Some of our best channels don\'t exist yet. Doctors and therapists could become advocates. Communities could become distribution. You\'ll find the unconventional paths and make them real.
