Role overview

We’re hiring a Growth Lead to own delivery across multiple clients and act as a senior operator within Aperture. This is a hands‑on senior role. You’ll be responsible for strategy, execution, and outcomes — working directly with clients, guiding the team, and getting into the detail when needed. No task is “below” this role, and no task is done without care. You’ll sit at the intersection of performance marketing, CRM (email + push notifications for consumer products), product analytics, and creative strategy. One day you might be reviewing an email campaign or mapping product events, the next you’ll be deep in an ad account, reviewing creative briefs, or supporting a client through a CRM migration. This role is ideal for someone who’s been in growth long enough to see the whole system — and still enjoys rolling their sleeves up.

Key responsibilities

• Client ownership and leadership: Own relationships with key clients — strategy, communication, delivery, and results. Act as a senior point of contact, building trust through clarity, rigour, and follow-through. Translate client goals into clear growth plans across paid, CRM, product, and creative. Present performance updates, insights, and recommendations with confidence.
• Growth strategy and execution: Lead growth initiatives across paid media, CRM, product analytics, and experimentation. Be comfortable working directly in ad accounts to review structure, performance, and creative testing. Collaborate closely with Creative Leads on briefs, testing plans, and learnings. Ensure growth work is aligned across channels and teams, not siloed.
• CRM and lifecycle: Support and lead CRM migrations when needed (e.g. tooling changes, data cleanup, lifecycle restructuring). Plan and oversee email campaigns, lifecycle flows, and experimentation. Work with the team to ensure CRM activity is tied back to user behaviour and commercial impact.
• Product analytics and measurement: Map and review product analytics and event tracking with a clear understanding of how they feed growth decisions. Use data to diagnose funnel issues and prioritise experiments. Ensure insights from product and lifecycle data inform paid and creative strategy.
• Team leadership and quality control: Act as a senior leader within Aperture, supporting and educating the team. Review work for quality, clarity, and attention to detail — from dashboards to copy. Set high standards for execution and help others level up. Be proactive in spotting issues, gaps, or opportunities before they become problems.

Experience

• 5+ years in a growth role across performance marketing, product, or lifecycle.
• Experience working directly with clients in a consulting, agency, or in-house environment.
• Comfort operating across multiple disciplines — paid, CRM, analytics, and creative.
• Experience mentoring or leading others.

Skills and mindset

• An eagle eye for detail — you notice the spelling mistake, the broken link, the wrong metric.
• Strong commercial judgement — you understand what actually moves the needle.
• Comfortable switching between strategic thinking and hands‑on execution.
• Confident working in ad platforms, analytics tools, and CRM systems.
• Clear communicator who can explain complex ideas simply.
• Calm, organised, and accountable — even when juggling multiple clients and priorities.

Why this role matters

This role is about ownership. Ownership of clients. Ownership of quality. Ownership of outcomes. For the right person, this role will continue to grow as Aperture grows — with increasing responsibility, influence, and scope across the agency.

Before you apply

We read every single application that comes through. As part of the application, we ask a few questions. We use these to get a real sense of how you think, how you work, and what you’ve actually experienced. This matters more to us than a perfectly polished CV. What you write here is your chance to stand out. Specific examples, clear thinking, and honest reflection go a long way. We can tell when answers are generic, over‑polished, or written entirely with AI. We’re much more interested in how you approach problems than in the “right” wording. Take your time. Be thoughtful. Write from your own experience. Good luck.
