A Growth Marketer owns the strategy and execution of scalable, data-driven campaigns designed to grow a product's user base and revenue. Day-to-day, they identify growth levers across acquisition, activation, retention, and referral channels, design and run A/B and multivariate experiments, analyse funnel performance, and iterate rapidly on what works. They collaborate closely with product, engineering, and data teams to implement growth loops, optimise conversion rates, and reduce churn, treating marketing as a continuous cycle of hypothesis, test, and measurement rather than a series of one-off campaigns.
