Vice President of Growth

At The Earthling Co., we create thoughtfully designed personal care products that make eco-conscious routines simpler. We are best known for our plastic free shampoo and conditioner bars and we are actively growing our product portfolio. We are a passionate, small team on a mission to make sustainable living easier, without the confusion or the waste. We sell direct to consumer and on Amazon, we run lean, and the people doing the work sit right next to the people who own the company.

The VP of Growth owns new customer acquisition for The Earthling Co. and runs the growth engine end to end: the media, the funnels, the offers, the creative strategy, and the numbers underneath all of it. This is a player-coach role. In the early stage you are hands on the keyboard yourself, personally in the ad accounts, the data, and the tests, not just directing others.

As the business scales, you shift toward coaching, building and leading the team that runs day to day execution while you set strategy and own the results. Either way you carry the outcome. The VP of Growth works directly with the founders on a small team, with full ownership of and accountability for profitable growth.

The essential functions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Own new customer acquisition and the targets that come with it: CAC, payback, contribution margin, and blended return
• Plan, buy, and scale paid media across Meta, Google, App Lovin, and Tik Tok, plus new channels as they earn their place
• Stay hands on in the ad accounts and the data directly, especially in the early stage, before building and leading the team that runs it
