We organize the right creators at the right time to signal to the digital world that your product is in demand. We partner with world-class brands like Nestlé, Panasonic, Logitech, Clorox, and more. 90% of the companies that work with us come back. Our platform is driving real results—and we’re scaling fast. WeSponsored is our proprietary iOS app that connects brands with creators, making campaign participation seamless for creators and results-driven for brands. It's the engine that powers creator activation across ProductWind's platform — and the product at the center of this role. We're a 25-person team with a strong product and engineering foundation, and we're ready to pour fuel on the fire. We need someone to own the entire growth engine — from first touch to power user. Learn more at productwind.com The Role This is the single most important hire we're making right now. We need someone to 10x our user base. Today, our acquisition is primarily organic and email-based, and our funnel has significant room for optimization. Everything is on the table — new channels, new strategies, product-led growth loops, partnerships, whatever works. You'll own the full growth picture: acquisition, activation, retention, and expansion across both sides of our marketplace (influencers and brands). You'll work directly with our product and engineering team to ship experiments, build growth features, and optimize every step of the user journey. You'll also build and execute on channel strategy to drive top-of-funnel volume. This is not a "write a strategy doc and hand it off" role. You'll be hands-on — running experiments, analyzing data, writing copy, talking to users, and doing whatever it takes to move the number. What You'll Own - Full-funnel growth strategy — Develop and execute a plan to 10x our user base with clear milestones and accountability - Acquisition — Identify, test, and scale new user acquisition channels beyond organic and email (paid social, referrals, partnerships, content, community, influencer seeding, ASO, and anything else that works) - Activation & onboarding — Partner with product and engineering to optimize the journey from download to first campaign participation - Retention & engagement — Build systems (notifications, lifecycle messaging, product loops) that keep users coming back and participating in campaigns - Marketplace health — Ensure growth is balanced across both sides of the marketplace — more influencers AND more brand campaigns - Experimentation — Build a culture of rapid testing and learning with the infrastructure and cadence for continuous iteration - Analytics & insights — Define growth metrics, build dashboards, and use data to prioritize ruthlessly You Might Be a Fit If You - Have 5+ years of experience in growth roles at consumer or marketplace startups, ideally through a period of significant scaling - Have actually grown something — you can point to specific numbers you moved and explain how you did it - Are comfortable across the full stack of growth: product experimentation, channel strategy, lifecycle marketing, and data analysis - Can work directly with engineers and designers — you can write a solid product spec, interpret analytics, and have strong opinions about UX - Have experience with two-sided marketplaces or platforms (influencer, creator economy, or gig economy experience is a plus) - Are scrappy and hands-on — you'll personally run the first version of most things before building a team around what works - Think in systems and loops, not just campaigns — you're looking for compounding growth, not one-off wins - Are comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast in a startup environment Why Join ProductWind - Join us during an exciting breakout growth phase—we're doubling our revenue. - Collaborate directly with leading brands and experienced sales leaders - Be part of a remote-first culture that values high ownership. Benefits - Competitive pay with base and commission - Full health, dental, and vision insurance - 401(k) with company match - Generous PTO and four-day holiday weekends - Work from anywhere

Today, our acquisition is almost entirely organic and email-based — which means there's a massive opportunity to open up new channels and build a real acquisition engine from scratch. You'll own user acquisition strategy and execution — figuring out what channels work, getting them running, and scaling the ones that hit. You'll work closely with our product team to make sure the users you bring in actually convert and stick around, but your primary focus is driving a high volume of quality users into the app. This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role. You'll be the one setting up campaigns, writing ad copy, analyzing performance data, and iterating fast. We're looking for someone who's done this before and can move quickly without a lot of hand-holding. What You'll Own - Channel strategy & execution — Test and scale paid and organic acquisition channels: paid social (Meta, TikTok, etc.), influencer partnerships, content marketing, SEO/ASO, referral programs, community growth, email outreach, and more - Creative & messaging — Develop compelling ad creative, landing pages, and messaging that resonates with influencers and creators — you understand what motivates them - Campaign management — Run, monitor, and optimize campaigns across channels with a focus on CAC efficiency and volume - Referral & viral loops — Design and launch referral programs and other viral mechanisms to turn existing users into an acquisition channel - App Store Optimization — Optimize our App Store presence to maximize organic discovery and conversion - Analytics & reporting — Track channel performance, build attribution models, and report on key acquisition metrics (CAC, install-to-signup rate, channel mix, etc.) - Cross-functional collaboration — Work with product and engineering to ensure smooth handoffs from acquisition to activation, and flag funnel issues that need product fixes You Might Be a Fit If You - Have 3+ years running user acquisition for a consumer mobile app, ideally in a marketplace, creator economy, or social platform - Have hands-on experience managing paid campaigns across Meta, TikTok, Google, and/or other relevant platforms - Can show concrete results — you've scaled channels and can talk through the numbers, what worked, and what didn't - Are highly analytical — you live in dashboards, understand attribution, and make decisions based on data - Are a strong copywriter and creative thinker — you can write ad copy, brief designers, and have good instincts for what grabs attention - Understand the influencer/creator ecosystem — you know what motivates creators and how they discover new tools - Are scrappy and self-directed — you don't wait for a playbook, you write it - Are comfortable moving fast, testing constantly, and killing things that don't work What We Offer - Benefits: Generous paid leave and choice of medical insurance (US and Canada)
