Growth Lead

TL;DR: We’re hiring a seasoned growth Lead to work directly with our Head of Growth to scale Listen from $XX → $XXX ARR. You’re a creative, data-driven, and energetic marketer who’s excited to join a fast-growing, early-stage startup in a career-defining role. You’re willing to roll up your sleeves – no task is too small when it helps move the company forward.

Min. 5+ years in B2B SaaS growth marketing, ideally with experience reaching product, design, or marketing teams. Prior consulting (management, strategy, or growth) or investment banking experience is a plus.

Background
