Growth Lead

About the role

We are looking for a Founding Growth & Strategy Lead who doesn't just want to scale a user base, but wants to spark a movement. You will be the architect of our public presence, bridging deep internet/social culture with high-level growth strategy. You see growth not just as a spreadsheet of metrics, but as a canvas for creative storytelling.

Responsibilities

• Own the Narrative & the Numbers: Drive weekly active user growth by looking beyond traditional marketing funnels. You’ll unlock organic, viral loops through sharp social positioning, brilliant positioning, and community engagement. Own the active strategy, and bring a rigorous, data-driven lens to every channel and motion.
• Engineer Creative & Social Experiments: Launch high-velocity growth experiments across social platforms, developer hubs, and unexpected digital corners. You know how to make deeply technical concepts trend without losing their substance. Build and activate the ecosystem.
• Identify key partnerships that scale growth and activate those partnerships—meetups, hackathons, workshops—that bring developers into the Adaption community. Develop partnerships and joint go-to-market motions with complementary companies across the AI and developer tooling space.
• Work cross-functionally. Partner closely with marketing, GTM, and the founders to align on messaging, campaigns, and strategy. Feed market and user insights directly into product discussions to help shape the roadmap.

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of growth experience at a tech company or startup - ideally in a product-led or developer-first environment
• Comfortable working with and around technical products. You don't need to be an engineer, but you can hold a substantive conversation with one and understand how developers evaluate and adopt tools
• Both creative and data-driven. You have strong instincts for what will resonate with a technical audience, and you back those instincts with measurement. You know the difference between a vanity metric and a signal that matters
• Proven ability to build and manage partnerships — identifying the right companies to work with, structuring joint motions, and following through to drive real outcomes on both sides
• Scrapby and self-directed. You're comfortable with ambiguity, can prioritize ruthlessly, and know when to move fast and when to slow down and build the system properly
