What you will do 🙋

 

You will be responsible for experimenting with a wide range of organic and paid growth channels, including PR, SEO and content, PPC and social, to create a sustainable and scalable growth strategy for The Lowdown. You will need to be able to holistically step back and look at the whole funnel, whilst diving into the detail and running hands on growth experiments to help us learn what works.

 

In particular your role will include:

 

  • Growing the top of our funnel: Increase the number of people who use or find The Lowdown website and our services through channels like SEO and content, social, PPC partnerships and affiliates.
  • Improving conversion for each stage of the mid and lower funnel: Working with our product and tech teams to optimise our product experience and landing pages in order to reduce checkout friction and grow average order value of our paid products and services. As part of this you’ll be in charge of testing out different propositions and pricing strategies.
  • Paid customer retention: You’ll find ways to make our prescription and subscription customers stick with us, including CRM and community events. You’ll get to know why customers are leaving us and make product and experience changes to stop that happening.
  • Managing our growth team: You’ll own the growth budget and line-manage our Social & Content, Community, Paid Marketing and SEO leads and SEO agency. As we grow you’ll build out that team and shape it how you see fit.

What we’re looking for 🔎

 

We’re looking for someone with at least 5+ years experience in the growth and marketing space. Ideally you’ve worked in an early stage startup and preferably have some experience working in a health tech startup and/or subscription, D2C or e-commerce business.

In particular we’d like to see:

 

  • Strategic, analytical thinker who is excellent with numbers: You can take on board a lot of information, synthesise it and use it to produce data-driven strategic recommendations. You aren’t afraid of a spreadsheet and analysing numbers to figure out what’s going on. 📈
  • Creative, hacking mindset: You’re great at thinking of creative ways to generate virality and consistent discovery of our products and services at the top of the funnel. You’re happy to break the rules sometimes and continually push the team to try new things. 💡
  • People describe you as ‘a machine’: You are an insanely smart, driven and organised self-starter who has demonstrated you can really excel to drive a business forward. 🤖
  • Serious pace and efficiency: You believe that ‘done is better than perfect’ and work at speed to make stuff happen. 💨
  • Hands-on performance marketing experience: You know how to run a paid ad campaign – you may have to set them up or optimise them, or manage people who do. ✋
  • You know a thing or two about SEO: Organic SEO has historically been a big channel for us, so you have a good level of knowledge and ability to manage our SEO agency and wider team in order to drive results. 🔎
  • Embrace testing and learning: You have an openness to totally new ideas and trying things in a different way. You’re constantly looking to learn and iterate, with a results-driven purpose. You know how to nurture curiosity but you also know how to get things done. 🧪
  • You’re really passionate about The Lowdown – and love what we stand for! ❤️
