About The Role

As Head of Growth Marketing at HeySummit your job is to own our entire growth funnel from driving traffic through to optimizing conversions and increasing revenue, retention and referrals.

Please note: this role involves both strategy and execution. This is a role for doers who want to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty.

• You’ll have significant freedom to move fast, test things out and find channels that work
• You’ll have the flexibility to build your own team over the next 18 months

You must have

• A proven track record of planning and executing growth initiatives at early stage startups within a small team or even solo

Benefits

• 30 days flexible PTO - we believe that we all do our best work when we’re able take meaningful rest time out

• Remote-work equipment - we’re all about setting you up for success in your working environment and providing you with the equipment you need
