Head of Growth

You know what BER is. You’ve managed serious paid budgets at a DTC brand. And you’re looking for a role where you actually own the strategy, not just execute someone else’s.

A European eCommerce brand is looking for a Head of Growth to take them to €40M. The channels are there, the budget is there, and so is the autonomy. What’s missing is the right person to drive it.

This is a full‑time, remote contractor role supporting a team on the CET timezone.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Full ownership of paid growth across Meta, Google, and Snapchat, with autonomy to restructure and reallocate as you see fit.
A clear growth path into an Operations Director or COO position over time.
Profit share and role-specific bonuses on top of your base.
Monthly visits to Amsterdam to stay connected with the team.
Fully remote, work from wherever suits you best.

WHAT YOU’RE GETTING INTO

Own paid acquisition strategy and execution across Meta, Google, and Snapchat to scale monthly revenue from €2.5 million toward a €40 million annual goal.
Solve the #1 growth bottleneck: creative volume. Manage the Creative Strategists to dramatically increase the volume and testing velocity of winning ad creatives.
Lead the paid-side marketing team day to day: the Facebook media buyer, the Google agency, and the Creative Strategists, with regular touchpoints across email marketing and website teams.
Own the paid marketing calendar; coordinate product launches and sales moments so creatives, campaigns, and the wider team are ready on time.
Drive continuous optimization to lower the brand’s break-even ROAS, creating more financial room to scale paid campaigns profitably.
Analyze channel performance, product margins, and competitors, and turn that data into clear scaling decisions.
Sync directly with the CEO and leadership team to align paid performance strategy with broader business operations.
Build the playbook for capturing market share across Germany and Europe, while preparing for future US market entry.

WHO YOU ARE

You come from a DTC brand where paid ads were the main growth engine, not just one of many channels – or you’ve scaled brands like this from inside a top performance agency.
You’ve personally managed at least several hundred thousand euros in monthly ad spend and understand the mechanics behind it, not just the dashboards.
You’re comfortable with the tools: Shopify, Google Analytics, Triplewhale, Meta Ads Manager, and you use AI tools like Claude as part of how you work.
You know how to read performance data and turn it into clear decisions. Not reports, decisions.
You can manage people and partners – internal specialists, external agencies, creative teams – and keep the energy high.
You thrive with autonomy and don’t need someone telling you what to test next.
