Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and scale the systems that bring new creators onto the platform — people who want to make and share games
  • Develop creator-facing campaigns across paid social, SEO, and organic channels
  • Own the creator funnel from awareness through first game published
  • Partner with the product team to surface creator milestones and wins that drive word-of-mouth
  • Drive player acquisition and engagement across all channels
  • Own paid media strategy and execution (social, search, programmatic)
  • Use data to identify where players drop off and run experiments to fix it
  • Build agentic tools to automate most of the work is necessary for this role.
  • Run ads: strategy, creative briefing, buying, and optimization across Meta, TikTok, Google, and emerging platforms. Use agentic tools to fully automate these processes.
  • PR: build Astrocade's presence in gaming, tech, and creator economy media
  • Social: develop an organic social strategy that reflects Astrocade's brand and grows both creator and player audiences
  • SEO: own keyword strategy and content infrastructure that drives long-term organic growth

Requirements

  • Have 2+ years in growth marketing, with meaningful time in consumer products
  • Experience building scalable agentic tools to automate
  • Understand how to grow both sides of a two-sided platform, or have scaled creator and user communities simultaneously
  • Think in systems: you build repeatable programs, not one-off campaigns
  • Are comfortable being the only growth person on the team — scrappy, resourceful, and self-directed
  • Have strong analytical instincts and can build a dashboard as easily as you can write a creative brief
  • Want to grow into a team leadership role as the company scales

Preferred

  • Experience at a high-growth consumer platform (YouTube, TikTok, Roblox, Twitch, or similar)
  • Background in UGC products
  • Experience building a growth function from scratch at an early-stage company
  • Familiarity with both B2C acquisition and community-led growth models

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Lunch provided daily
