Head of Growth
Sydney, AU · Full-time
6-8 years experience · SaaS / ecommerce background preferred
This is not a strategy job. You will run campaigns, own the funnel, and move numbers — yourself.
What You Own
You own the full acquisition and conversion funnel for one of our core product lines:
- Paid and organic acquisition — channels, spend, and performance
- Conversion optimisation — trials, activation, and first-value moments
- Pricing and packaging — testing and iterating toward better unit economics
- Lifecycle and retention — reducing churn, driving expansion revenue
- Growth metrics — weekly reporting, experimentation, clear decisions
You'll work closely with product and engineering, and have access to unlimited AI tooling — we expect you to use it aggressively.
What Success Looks Like In your first 3 months
- You've moved the acquisition and activation metrics
- Trial starts are up, drop-off is down, and you know exactly why.
- You're running experiments, not just campaigns, and every channel decision has a number behind it.
Who This Is For
You're a growth practitioner, not a growth theorist. You've owned a funnel and moved it. You know what a good trial activation rate looks like and you've had to fix a bad one.
You might have:
- Led growth, demand gen, or lifecycle at a SaaS or ecommerce company
- Owned acquisition and conversion end-to-end, not just one slice
- Worked in or around Shopify apps, marketplaces, or merchant tools
- Run growth experiments with real budget and real accountability
- Built or managed a small team — but you still do the work yourself
You are:
- Data-first — you live in dashboards and make decisions fast
- Experimental — you run tests, learn quickly, and kill what doesn't work
- Hands-on — you write copy, set up campaigns, and pull your own reports
- Commercial — you understand CAC, LTV, payback, and churn, not just clicks
- Energised by ownership and pace
What This Is Not
- A brand or comms role
- A role where you hand briefs to an agency and review reports
- A position with a large team underneath you from day one
- Right for someone looking for process, structure, and slow cycles
Who You'll Work With
You'll work alongside a GM who owns the P&L. You'll have a direct line to our Co-Founders — ex-TradeGecko (acquired by Intuit) — for strategic input when you need it.
About Amp
We're the agents for ecommerce. 45,000+ merchants use our suite of apps across analytics, retention, upselling, and re-engagement — and we're building the intelligence layer underneath it all, combining deep merchant data with AI agents that help brands grow profitably.
Amp is venture-backed, genuinely AI-native — in how we actually work, and growing fast. You'll have real autonomy, direct access to founders, and the tools to move quickly. We're small enough that your work has immediate impact, and ambitious enough that the ceiling is high. We're building something merchants depend on daily — and we're only getting started.
Sound Like You?
We don't need a polished CV. Send us a short note — what channels you've owned, what metrics you've moved, and what you're most proud of building. Applications that reference a specific growth result or experiment will stand out.
We review every application personally and will do our best to get back to you quickly — but if we're slow, please don't read anything into it. Strong interest means a full inbox, and we'd rather take the time to respond thoughtfully than rush.
