About the role
Devin’s self-serve product is growing fast, and we’re building the growth team behind it from day one. As our first Paid Social & Influencer Lead, you’ll own our first scaled acquisition channels, with real budget, a product developers love to talk about, and a direct line to leadership.
What you’ll accomplish
- Own paid social: Budget, targeting, bidding, and creative across every platform, measured on cost per signup and payback period.
- Run a creative testing loop: Partner with the content and creative teams on a weekly cadence of new ads, and find the angles that work.
- Build the content pipeline: Create great ads with our creative team, external influencers, UGC, and more.
- Keep the tracking honest: Make sure attribution and conversion tracking are right, so decisions are made on real numbers.
- Report weekly: Share clear numbers on what we spent, what we got, and what we’re changing.
In your first 30 days, you might
- Audit and rebuild our attribution and conversion tracking
- Launch a weekly creative testing cadence across our core platforms
- Acquire thousands of new users
- Sign new designers and creative partners to scale our pipeline
- Identify which channels and angles deserve more budget
Exceptional candidates have demonstrated
- Scaling paid social: You’ve managed meaningful budget and can show what happened. Experience at a software company, consumer app, or D2C brand all counts.
- Numbers and taste: You’re great with data, and you also have a feel for what makes an ad work.
- Creative or UGC experience: You’ve run partnerships, or you have a clear point of view on how you’d start.
- Hunger: You want more budget and more ownership than you have today.
We care more about demonstrated capability than years of experience.
You don’t need a tech background. Some of the best performance marketers we know come from consumer, CPG, and beauty, and we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll have
- A performance budget sized for a company growing this fast, that scales with results
- An in-house creative team and a product with a lot to show
- Devin and the latest AI tools to help automate reporting, analysis, and creative iteration
- A small team with direct access to leadership and very little process
