Responsibilities include:

• Evaluating industry trends, performance data, and category benchmarks to identify high-potential growth channels beyond core paid social—such as B2B, marketplaces, retention, Pinterest, SEO, and emerging social commerce platforms.
• Designing and implementing structured launch plans for priority growth channels, covering commercial models, resource planning, performance metrics, and coordination across teams.

Channel execution and growth:

• Overseeing the development of new channels, working hands-on or through internal teams and external partners to deliver measurable impact and embed capabilities into operations.

Embedding and evolving:

• Establishing long-term ownership models through hiring, outsourcing, training, or automation to ensure sustainability and focus on new opportunities.

Strategic contribution:

• Playing a key leadership role in shaping company priorities, supporting decision-making, and identifying future growth levers as part of the senior leadership team.

Candidate requirements:

• Minimum 2 years’ experience in strategy or consulting at a leading firm, with a strong record of problem-solving and structured thinking. Experience in consumer and retail projects is preferable.
• At least 2 years of industry experience in a consumer business is highly desired.
• Strong commercial and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and turn insights into strategies.
• Clear and confident communicator capable of engaging stakeholders at all levels.
• Proven leadership or potential to lead cross-functional initiatives.
• Experience in a consumer-facing business is a plus but not essential.
• Enthusiasm for dynamic, fast-paced environments, especially those with a creative or growth focus.
