🌟 About the role
Community Phone already works.

We’ve reached 8-figure ARR with strong product-market fit, disciplined unit economics, and a lean team. Most growth to date has come from Google (organic + paid) and traditional media. 

The bottleneck is not analytics, tooling, or alignment.

The bottleneck is opening the next scalable acquisition channel and making creative work at scale.

We’re hiring a Growth Lead, Acquisition to own that problem end-to-end:

• Identify a new non-Google channel
• Make it viable through creative and execution
• Scale it responsibly
• Decide what lives and what dies
• Please note: This is not a coordination role. This is an ownership role.

Your Mission

Your job is to build and scale a new acquisition channel outside of Google, with creative as the primary lever.

Within ~90 days, success looks like:

• Meta, TikTok, or another non-Google channel - or amalgam thereof - producing at least $100k of new ARR per month
• Scaling at or below target CAC payback or target CAC:cohorted cash 3yr LTV ratio (net of experimental spend)
• A repeatable creative testing system that produces winners
• Clear conviction on whether the channel is worth further capital
• You are accountable for outcomes, not just experimentation.

🚀 You will...
1. Own New Channel Creation

• Launch, test, and scale non-Google channels (Meta, TikTok, affiliates, influencers, etc.)
• Start from zero, not from mature, inherited accounts
• Own spend, pacing, and scale decisions within a ~$300k/month budget
• Make clear go / no-go calls on channels quickly

2. Own Creative Direction for Acquisition

Creative is not a downstream input in this role; it is the core growth lever. You will:

• Define creative strategy by channel (angles, hooks, narratives, formats)
• Design creative tests tied to explicit hypotheses
• Drive testing velocity and iteration cadence
• Identify when creative, bidding, targeting, or downstream website or lifecycle is the constraint
• Be responsible for creative production
• You are not necessarily expected to design assets yourself, but you are responsible for what creative exists, why, and on what production schedule. We do not have a dedicated creative resource that you will be handed.

3. Own Channel-Level Performance

You are directly responsible for:

• Signup volume by channel
• CAC efficiency, CAC:3yr LTV ratio, and payback trends on your channel(s)
• Incremental MRR contribution from your channel(s)
• Diagnosing performance swings and taking action
• Attribution and reporting already exist. You can use that existing infrastructure to move quickly. You will be provided a strong in-house analytics and attribution resource.

4. Operate with Speed and Conviction

• Place clear bets with imperfect information
• Kill losers decisively
• Avoid premature optimization
• Communicate simply and honestly about what’s working and what isn’t
  
  

🏆  You are...

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Have been a founder, early employee, or first growth hire at a startup that grew revenue fast
• Have personally taken a non-Google acquisition channel from $0 → scale
• Treat creative as a strategic system, not just assets
• Are comfortable being judged by outcomes, not activity
• Care both about a fast growth rate and financially sound unit economics

You should enjoy:

• High autonomy
• Low bureaucracy
• Direct access to decision-makers
• Clear accountability

What We’re Not Looking For

• Career media buyers optimizing mature accounts
• Growth leads who coordinate but don’t own
• Marketers who rely on agencies to think for them
• Anyone uncomfortable being on the hook for channel result

Why Ex-Founders Like This Role

• Founder-level trust without founder-level risk
• Real budget and authority
• Clear, durable impact
• A chance to define a growth pillar, not just run campaigns
