About the job
Head of Growth | Global Product Platform
Remote | Europe
High Base + Equity + Remote Working Benefits/Package.
I’m working with a well-backed global product company used by millions of designers and developers worldwide on a new Head of Growth hire. This is not a traditional Head of Marketing role.
The mandate is to own user growth across the business from registered users, MAU, activation, retention, and the full set of growth levers that move those numbers.
As the head of growth, you’ll inherit an existing marketing function, but the goal is to turn growth into a much more deliberate operating system: clearer metrics, faster experimentation, stronger product-led growth, better channel discipline, and a team that ships every week.
What you’ll own
- Own the company growth number across registrations, MAU, activation and retention
- Build a clear growth dashboard and weekly operating rhythm
- Lead experimentation across product, lifecycle, SEO/AEO, organic, community and paid
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering on onboarding, activation and first-success journeys
- Shape positioning and launch strategy across a growing product portfolio
- Protect strong existing organic acquisition while building the next growth engines
- Own paid and organic as one system, with a strong focus on efficiency and quality
- Build and lead a small, high-performing growth and marketing team
- Hire capability gaps across growth, product marketing and adjacent functions
- Create a culture of testing, learning, killing weak ideas quickly and scaling what works
What we’re looking for
- 8–12+ years across growth and/or marketing leadership
- Strong background in PLG SaaS, design tools, creative platforms, developer products or similarly product-led businesses
- Clear evidence of user growth you personally owned and moved
- Deep understanding of registration, activation, retention, MAU and funnel performance
- Strong experimentation mindset, comfortable forming hypotheses, testing quickly and making decisions from data
- Experience across SEO / organic, lifecycle, paid acquisition and product-led growth
- Hands-on enough to read analytics, challenge a landing page, rewrite a brief and kill a poor-performing channel
- Strong product and engineering partnership
- Experience building and leading a small multidisciplinary team
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, highly autonomous environment
Particularly relevant background and experience from companies in areas such as:
Design tools, creative software, developer tools, AI-native products, PLG SaaS, creator platforms or self-serve global products would be especially relevant.
Why this is interesting
- The company already has significant global usage and strong organic acquisition.
- The opportunity is not to create demand from zero, it’s to systematise and accelerate an existing growth engine, while launching new
- product surfaces across AI-assisted workflows, developer tooling and next-generation product experiences.
- It’s a high-impact seat for someone who wants to own the number, stay close to the work and materially shape the next stage of company growth.
Package: Strong base + equity, fully remote with flexible hours, unlimited leave, medical cover, home-office setup, learning budget, gym and co-working support.
