Growth Marketing Director – Customer Acquisition (D2C Education), location: Remote (US, Europe, Dubai / Middle East), Sector: D2C Education | Online MBA-level Programs, Stage: New revenue stream inside an Inc. 5000 company, Reports to: Founder / Executive Leadership. 

This is a build-and-own role with uncapped upside, not capped commissions or vanity KPIs.

The Opportunity

We are leading a confidential search for a Growth Hacker–type Marketing Director to launch and scale a premium 12-week D2C online MBA-level programme priced at $5,000+.

The programme is sold globally in English, with customers in the US, Europe, and the Middle East.

This is a zero-to-one revenue stream, backed by:
• An Inc. 5000 recognised leadership and development company
• Household-name B2B clients
• A high-profile TED Talks partnership
• Strong brand authority, IP, and warm audiences

You will own customer acquisition end-to-end.

Core Responsibilities

• Design and execute the full-funnel customer acquisition strategy
• Launch and scale paid acquisition across Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google (Search and YouTube), and LinkedIn
• Own direct-response assets including ad creative, hooks, angles, landing pages, VSLs, webinars, and email
• Build and optimise email CRM flows for nurture, launch, cart-close, and ascension
• Lead rapid experimentation across offers, pricing, guarantees, messaging, and funnel structure
• Optimise CPL, CAC, and LTV with a commercial growth mindset
• Work closely with founders, content, and partnerships teams, including the TED partnership

You are a strong fit if you have:

• Proven experience launching and scaling a D2C online course or cohort-based programme
• A premium price point experience of $5,000 or higher
• A 12-week or MBA-level programme structure
• Customers or students in the US, Europe, and the Middle East
• Deep hands-on expertise in performance marketing and funnel optimisation
• Strong experience with email CRM and lifecycle marketing
• A commercial, growth-hacker mindset with strong analytical skills
• Comfort operating in startup mode within an established, well-known company
• Fluent English communication (programme delivered globally in English)

Location & Working Style

• Fully remote
• Candidates must be based in the US, Europe, or Dubai / Middle East
• Time-zone flexibility required for global launches

Why This Role Is Different

• You are not supporting marketing — you own revenue
• Rare opportunity to build a premium global D2C education brand
• Clear connection between strategy, execution, and financial upside
• Significant growth potential as the programme scales internationally

Compensation & Performance Model (or local currency equivalent)

Base Salary:
USD $150,000 – $200,000 (dependent on experience, location, and prior launches)

On-Target Earnings (OTE):
USD $180,000 – $250,000+

Performance Incentives:

This role participates directly in the upside created.
• Revenue-based bonus tied to launch performance and cohort revenue
• Incentives linked to CAC, LTV, and funnel efficiency
• Tiered accelerators at revenue milestones (e.g. $1M, $3M, $5M+ annualised run-rate)
• Potential profit-share or long-term incentive plan as the programme scales

Start Date: ASAP

Please APPLY ASAP with your resume and for suitable candidates Jonathan Pearson will be in touch.
