Job Summary

Own the brand and paid growth for a consumer product serving families, with direct ownership of voice, campaigns, referrals, tracking, and AI enabled scaling.

  • Brand and voice ownership across social channels
  • Paid strategy ownership and measurement of CAC, conversions, and channel economics
  • Referral and word of mouth with measurement and incentives to accelerate growth

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shape Meela's voice and presence across social channels
  • Create campaigns that resonate with adult children of seniors — emotionally honest, trustworthy, and clear
  • Build brand awareness that makes every paid dollar work harder
  • Set the paid acquisition strategy and own the results, working alongside our existing performance marketer who runs day-to-day execution
  • Test channels in disciplined experiments, kill what doesn't work, and put real budget behind what does
  • Know our CAC, conversion, and channel economics cold
  • Build referral programs that turn happy families into our best source of new customers
  • Measure word-of-mouth and keep making it stronger: incentives, timing, product hooks
  • Set up tracking so we actually know what's working and why
  • Use AI tools (Claude and beyond) to move faster; automate the repetitive work, multiply creative output, and make the rest of us better at it too

Requirements

  • 5+ years in marketing, with real experience across paid, brand, and social
  • You've grown a consumer product before, and can point to specific numbers you moved and how you did it
  • You’ve done product marketing — positioning, messaging, figuring out what to say and to whom
  • You still do the work yourself: you write the copy, build the campaign, and pull the numbers
  • You make decisions from data, and you can explain the math behind your channel bets
  • You use AI tools in your day-to-day work
  • You’ve worked at an early-stage company and liked it — the ambiguity, the pace, the lack of structure
  • You live in New York City and are happy to be in our Union Square office 4 days a week

Preferred

  • You've taken a brand or product to market from zero
  • You've built referral programs or marketplace-style growth before
  • Product marketing background. You know how to position a product, not just run channels
  • Consumer software experience preferred; strong consumer brand-building also welcome
  • Experience marketing to families or older adults

Benefits

  • Full health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • HSA
  • Commuter benefits
  • Paid lunch every day
  • Paid dinner every day
  • Dashpass
