Head of Growth
Amp (useamp.com) · Auckland, NZ · Full-time
5–10 years experience · Shopify / AI / SaaS background preferred
This is not a management job. You will do the work yourself — and you'll own the outcome.
What You Own
This is a true P&L role. You run the business day-to-day:
- Product roadmap — prioritise, spec, ship (with 2 engineers)
- Growth & GTM — acquisition, conversion, pricing, packaging
- Retention & lifecycle — activation, churn, expansion
- Customer outcomes — you're close to merchants, always
- Operating rhythm — weekly metrics, decisions, wins and losses
Who This Is For
You're probably 5–10 years into your career. You've shipped product. You've driven revenue. You've been close to customers. You've worked at a SaaS company where you had to figure things out rather than wait for permission.
You might have:
- Worked at or built a Shopify app or ecommerce SaaS
- Owned growth, PLG, lifecycle, or retention at a product-led company
- Led a product or been an early PM at a startup
- Run a small business or side project with real revenue
- Had a GM or operator role where you owned a number
You are:
- Fast — you move from strategy to execution in the same hour
- Scrappy — you do things yourself before delegating them
- Data-fluent — you read metrics and make decisions, not decks
- Comfortable with ambiguity — there is no playbook yet; you'll write it
- Energised by ownership, not titles
What This Is Not
- A role where you manage people who do the work
- A step up into a comfortable exec position
- A role with lots of structure, process, or hand-holding
- Right for someone with 20+ years looking for a stable GM seat
Who You'll Work With
You'll report into Shef (VP of Operations, Auckland) and have a direct line to Cameron Priest — Amp co-founder, ex-TradeGecko Founder/CEO (acquired by Intuit). Not as layers of approval — as high-signal support so you move faster.
