Job description

Role location: DXB
Type of contract: Full Time

Further details: We’re looking for a Head of Growth who can drive traction before the full product launch, someone who knows how to turn early interest into momentum. You’ll build and execute strategies that generate awareness, capture leads, and convert them into a growing waiting list and active user base once the platform goes live.

What You’ll Do

\

• Design and execute pre-launch growth campaigns (waiting lists, referral programs, creator & brand onboarding funnels).
• Build growth loops across paid, organic, and community channels.
• Develop and manage a pipeline of creators and brands, turning early signups into advocates.
• Work with product and marketing to refine the onboarding journey based on real data and feedback.
• Track metrics like CAC, conversion rates, and viral coefficients.
• Set up automation tools (HubSpot, Typeform, Zapier, Notion, etc.) to scale growth operations.
• Own North Star metrics: waiting list growth, activation rate, and retention post-launch.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–8 years of experience in growth, product marketing, or demand generation, ideally in platform or SaaS startups (bonus if in influencer marketing, adtech, or creator economy).
• Proven record of building growth from zero (pre-launch or early-stage experience is a must).
• Strong understanding of funnels, data, and experiments.
• Knows how to use storytelling and partnerships to drive signups.
• Hands-on with tools like HubSpot, Mixpanel, Webflow, Airtable, and Google Analytics.
• Entrepreneurial, analytical, and fast-moving.
