Job Summary

Own and rapidly test creator-led growth plays that convert attention into installs and first sends, collaborating with the CMO and Creative Lead to turn blank-page ideas into live, trackable experiments.

  • Growth Playbook Ownership: invent end-to-end creator-led, organic, and cross-channel growth plays from concept to live launch and learning.
  • Creator & Partner Operations: source, close, and run creator pipelines and partnerships that drive installs and sends, not vanity metrics.
  • Learning Loop & Decision-Making: measure what moved, what didn\'t, and decide the next bets based on actual behavior (installs, shares, saves, first sends).

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • The growth roadmap — which plays we run, and why
  • Channels, hacks, events, popups, stunts, and the experiments behind them
  • Creator, collab, and partnership pipelines — sourcing, closing, and running the relationships
  • Distribution and cadence — where the work goes and how often
  • The learning loop — what moved, what didn\'t, what\'s next
  • The path from attention to install to first send
  • You\'ll invent these plays and then make them happen on the ground — booking the space, closing the creator, getting the thing live — and read what actually moved: shares, saves, tags, installs, first sends
  • You\'ll work closely with Aaron on strategy, and in lockstep with the Creative Lead on bringing each play to life.
  • Both of you invent, both of you execute, and both of you answer the same question: did this make someone actually want to send something?

Requirements

  • You\'ve built organic, social, or creator-led growth for a consumer brand and can point to what actually moved
  • You invent growth, you don\'t just manage it — weird referral loops, scrappy stunts, channels nobody\'s working yet
  • You can both pick the bet and execute it end to end
  • You connect attention to behavior — installs and sends, not vanity engagement
  • You\re comfortable with a blank page and a lot of ambiguity

Benefits

  • meaningful equity and benefits

We make sending physical cards as easy as liking a post, but infinitely cooler.At Escargot, we're serving up thoughtfulness with a side of fun – because who says being caring can't be delightful? From "Congrats on your Taylor Swift tickets" to "Sorry your crypto tanked" (and yes, we have Happy Birthday too), we're creating cards that actually sound like you.We handle the boring stuff (printing, postage, mailing) while you focus on making someone's day with a surprise in their mailbox. Because in a world of endless notifications, nothing hits different quite like real mail.Not your grandmas greeting cards. 🐌
