Better Boat is a fast-growing US-based marine accessories brand trusted by boaters who care about quality, performance, and keeping their boats in top shape.

The company is a market leader on Amazon and is now scaling rapidly across Shopify, TikTok, and other digital channels.

We are a lean, founder-led team focused on building smart, efficient marketing systems that deliver real results without big budgets or large agencies.

This is an opportunity to join a high-performing American brand with strong traction and help build out the direct-to-consumer engine from the ground up.

We are looking for a hands-on, execution-driven Growth Marketing Manager to build, test, and scale Better Boat's digital growth strategy across Meta, TikTok, Google, and email.

This is not an oversight or agency management role.

• Coordinate freelancers or small agencies for creative and media execution
• Collaborate on product launches, bundles, and seasonal campaigns
• Track and analyze performance metrics, reporting actionable insights
• Continuously test offers, creative angles, and landing pages to improve conversion rates
• Bring fresh, scrappy ideas that drive measurable growth

• 4–8 years of experience in DTC or ecommerce marketing, ideally with a physical product brand (RM+ annual revenue ˜ $10M+ USD)
• Proven success running Meta, TikTok, and Google Ads directly—not just through agencies
• Skilled at hiring, briefing, and managing freelancers to execute creative and media tasks
• Strong analytical skills with experience in attribution, pixel tracking, and performance optimization
• Hands-on experience in Klaviyo lifecycle marketing
• Creative, resourceful, and data-driven with a strong sense of ownership
• Entrepreneurial mindset with humility, adaptability, and a focus on execution

• R,–R, annual base salary + performance bonus
• Remote-first work environment
• Direct collaboration with the founder
• High autonomy and fast decision-making
