About the role

This is Maven Consumer's founding performance marketing hire — a true 0-to-1 opportunity to build the paid acquisition engine for a category-defining women's and family health platform. You'll own strategy and hands-on execution across paid channels, with budget authority and direct accountability to CAC and subscriber quality targets. Reporting to the General Manager, Consumer, you'll work in close partnership with the core consumer team.

Responsibilities

• Directly manage campaigns in-platform, owning performance outcomes and communicating clearly & frequently with the broader consumer team about creative, targeting and pacing
• Turn ad performance data into creative insight, and power the feedback loop with creative partners (internal + external) to rapidly test and learn from new ad concepts and formats across channels
• Execute on a structured creative testing process, including creative ideation, brief creation, concept testing, ad iteration and scaling
• Leverage AI creative tools to generate and test ad variants faster
• Drive landing page and funnel experimentation directly; write briefs, review copy, and push tests live with eng/product support
• Own channel reporting & deeply understand attribution and measurement strategy to be rigorous about channel impact
• Own paid media budget planning and ROI reporting in partnership with Finance
• Run your own analyses; comfortable using AI-assisted analytics tools to move faster and surface insight more efficiently

• Experience in consumer health, wellness, or DTC subscription required
• Track record owning and scaling paid acquisition budgets from $0 to $MM with budget authority

• You actively use AI to move faster — iterating on copy, testing creative, accelerating your own analysis. Genuinely curious and always experimenting.
• Sharp creative judgment: you know what good looks like and have moved metrics with it
• Comfortable in 0-to-1 environments: ambiguous, fast-moving, high ownership
