Job Description

Responsibilities

  • - Own the full D2C funnel end-to-end: site content, landing pages, checkout, and conversion rate optimization
  • - Plan, manage, and optimize paid media spend across channels, owning the budget and the ROI story behind it
  • - Build and run lifecycle marketing programs (email, SMS, and beyond) to drive retention and LTV
  • - Drive SEO and GEO (generative engine optimization) strategy so we're found through both traditional search and AI-driven discovery
  • - Manage and develop the internal resource(s) and external agency partners you inherit, and build out the team as scale demands it

  • - Comfortable being both the strategist and the executor, especially in the early build phase
  • - Fluent and enthusiastic user of AI tools to extend your own capacity
  • - Data-driven and analytical, with a scrappy, get-it-done work style
  • - Experience managing external agencies and internal team members

Preferred

  • - Experience building a D2C function from near-zero, not just optimizing an existing one
  • - Familiarity with hardware or consumer electronics D2C motions
  • - Experience with generative engine optimization (GEO) specifically, not just traditional SEO
  • - Prior experience reporting directly to a CEO or founder

Benefits

  • - 401(k) with company matching
