Reporting directly to the Head of Product, you’ll optimize funnels, run high-ROI campaigns, and hack growth loops across social platforms and beyond. If you’ve scaled startups through analytical, metrics-obsessed marketing in fintech, crypto, or similar high-growth environments, this is your opportunity to lead at a Top 4 Ethereum protocol by TVL.

• Design and execute performance marketing campaigns across paid channels (e.g., Google Ads, Facebook/Instagram Ads, Twitter/X Promoted Posts) and organic socials (Twitter/X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts), focusing on A/B testing, ROI optimization, and scalable user acquisition

• Manage social media accounts end-to-end, including creating content calendars, producing high-engagement posts, threads, videos, and Reels that drive conversions from awareness to on-chain actions like staking and sign-ups

• Analyze real-time data from DeFi metrics (TVL, volume, user acquisition costs, LTV) and ad platforms to iterate on strategies, identifying growth hacks that boost retention, virality, and protocol activity

• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to build and test growth experiments, such as referral programs, automated drip campaigns, and funnel optimizations that translate technical features (e.g., restaking, new integrations) into user growth

• Run targeted paid ads with a focus on segmentation, retargeting, and lookalike audiences to maximize CAC efficiency, while integrating growth hacking tactics like viral loops and community-driven activations

• Track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) using analytics tools, providing actionable insights on ad spend ROI, follower growth, engagement rates, and direct attribution to on-chain metrics like TVL inflows and user retention

• Extensive experience in performance marketing and growth hacking, with a proven track record of running paid ad campaigns that have driven 500k+ impressions, reduced CAC, or achieved measurable scaling in a fintech, crypto, or startup environment

• Startup experience, ideally in fintech, DeFi, or high-growth tech, where you've optimized growth funnels and experimented with rapid iterations to achieve product-market fit and user expansion

• Strong analytical skills: Proficiency with tools like Amplitude, Google Analytics, or Mixpanel to dissect data, run cohort analyses, and derive hypotheses for A/B tests and optimization

• Hands-on expertise managing social media accounts, creating content strategies, and producing professional-grade assets using tools like Premiere, Photoshop, and AI generators—without heavy external support

• Deep understanding of DeFi primitives (staking, restaking, LSTs) and growth tactics in crypto ecosystems, combined with the ability to blend data-driven marketing with compelling narratives that resonate with degens, builders, and institutions

• Bonus: Experience scaling personal or brand socials to 20k+ engaged followers in crypto, prior roles at high-TVL protocols, or a history of growth hacks that delivered exponential user growth

• Competitive salary, performance-based incentives, and token allocation grant

• Opportunity to work with a Top 4 Ethereum protocol, by TVL

• Opportunities for professional development and growth within the organization
