Growth marketing strategist: You treat marketing spend as a portfolio of investments, not a cost center. You can decompose a blended CAC, trace attribution across channels, build cohort-level payback models, and tell a CMO exactly where the next marginal dollar should go and where to cut. You have an informed opinion on how brand spend, paid acquisition, and organic loops interact, and you back it with data.
Technical and data-driven: Strong analytical skills, with expert Excel modeling skills as table stakes. Comfortable with data (SQL, HEX, BI tools, or equivalent). You use AI tools and agents to automate work and move faster. Preference for technical degrees or deep technical exposure.
Service-first partner: You bring a proactive, “can-do” attitude to every interaction and own the operationally tedious work required for clean handoffs between teams.
High-slope learner: You learn faster than anyone around you, take ownership immediately, and thrive in low-structure environments. You go from 0→1 and then 1→10.
Experience: 4+ years of relevant experience supporting Marketing leadership. Strong candidates have a foundation in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or management consulting, combined with operational experience at a high-growth startup, AI company, or scaled technology company. You learn fast, take ownership, and operate well in environments where the playbook doesn’t exist yet. Bachelor’s degree required.
