Senior Growth Strategist, Startpage

About the role

This is not a traditional marketing role. It's a high-visibility, high-ownership position for a creative builder who wants to shape how a category-defining product scales.

Responsibilities

• Own the growth roadmap for Startpage: design, test, and scale initiatives that expand reach, app installs, and browser usage globally.
• Lead the non-paid growth playbook: content flywheels, organic social, community and forums, partnerships, IRL pop-ups, surprise-and-delight stunts - anything that earns attention and trust.
• Run smart bets with exploratory budgets across channels; double down where you see signal and sunset what doesn’t move the needle.
• Hands-on ownership: ideate, prototype in AI, make the assets, launch the campaign, wire the tracking, iterate.
• Launch campaigns across TikTok, app stores, influencer and creator collaborations, podcasts, brand partnerships, and viral social formats - then author crisp business cases for where we invest next.
• Define KPIs, instrumentation, and dashboards; make data-driven calls to scale, pivot, or kill experiments quickly.
• Be our trend radar and cultural translator: bring fresh ideas from the internet’s front lines into our growth engine.
• Partner tightly with social, product, design, and analytics to ship fast, learn faster, and create compounding growth loops.

Requirements
