VP Growth (FTC)

Yoto is at an inflection point. The product achieved real product‑market fit and is loved by families globally. Our growth to this point has been powered by word‑of‑mouth and incredible advocacy, but unlocking the next phase of our growth requires meaningful expansion of our marketing activity, retail presence and trading capabilities.

The VP Growth is a senior leadership role with full accountability for revenue delivery and P&L management to contribution margin level. It is a broad, commercially‑oriented role which spans the full range of sales and marketing activity. It requires someone who blends strategy and execution, and who is excited by the opportunity of building a global consumer business. Yoto operates across multiple geographies and channels, which creates a matrix organisational structure. Creating clarity in strategy and process is key; you will need to make decisions to drive the brand forward globally, whilst respecting market nuance. You need to be comfortable managing a significant budget, and justifying the investment choices you make. The role sits on the Senior Leadership Team and reports directly to the CEO, leading a large team. Outside of the Growth function, you will work closely with the Product, Finance, and Operations teams. This role is a fixed‑term maternity cover contract for 6‑9 months.
