Senior Growth Lead I DTC E-Commerce (wfd) I remote 6 month in Dubai

About the Role

Were hiring a hands-on Growth Operator / Head of Marketing to take ownership of the performance engine of a fast-scaling DTC e-commerce brand.

This is not a typical management role. You will work directly with the founder and be responsible for driving growth across markets channels and funnels. You dont need to have done this exact role before BUT you need to be a builder who figures things out fast and gets things done.

If you combine analytical thinking with hands-on e-commerce experience and an ownership mentality this role is for you.

• Scaling paid traffic and improving ROAS across all channels
• Team leadership managing and scaling a creative team (starting with video editors; youll be responsible for hiring 2-3 additional video editors in your first 90 days)

By hands-on we mean you personally execute youre not delegating everything to a team on day one. Youre in the Meta Ads Manager youre writing copy youre analyzing data and youre building the playbooks that the team will eventually follow ;)

• No experience with Shopify or Meta Ads Manager
• No spreadsheet/ data fluency

• Base salary: $100000 $120000 USD (depending on experience and proven track record)
