Founding Growth Lead (Contract-to-Hire)

About the role

We're looking for a Founding Growth Lead to own how a0.dev acquires, converts, and retains users as we launch our next product and scale from hundreds of thousands of users to tens of millions. You'll work directly with the founders to find the channels and loops that can carry us to scale, and to turn early traction into a repeatable growth engine.

Responsibilities

• Bring new users to the platform by finding and scaling the channels that work
• Run paid acquisition across Meta, TikTok, Google, and any new channel that makes sense
• Partner with the Brand and Content Lead on creative production
• Drive SEO and AI search visibility through content, programmatic pages, and how we show up in both Google and AI assistants
• Optimize landing pages, signup flow, and onboarding conversion
• Build lifecycle, retention, and re-engagement programs (email, push, in-app)
• Design virality and referral loops, both inside the product and outside it
• Analyze user behavior and conversations, find where we lose people and where we could earn more, and influence changes to the AI's prompts and capabilities with the engineering team
• Run experiments across the funnel: hypothesis, test, ship, learn, repeat
• Own attribution, dashboards, and the metrics we run the business on

Requirements

• 2+ years driving growth at a consumer or product-led company
• A track record of creative experiments and original thinking about acquisition
• Hands-on experience running paid ads campaigns, with a point of view on what creative works and why
• Strong analytical chops, comfortable with attribution, cohorts, and modeling in spreadsheets or SQL
• Lives in or willing to relocate to SF

Bonus points

• Experience working on a consumer AI product
• Experience with viral consumer apps, creator tools, or social products
• Experience with SEO at a consumer or product-led company
• You've made ad creative yourself
• You've built or grown something on your own, even if it's small
