Head Of Growth (remote From New Zealand) - Remote Eligible

Head of Growth (Remote from New Zealand)

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Head of Growth in New Zealand. This role offers the opportunity to lead product-led growth for a high-velocity platform connecting creators and audiences. You will own the systems, experiments, and analytics that drive activation, retention, monetisation, and viral growth across the platform. Working closely with cross-functional teams in product, engineering, data, and marketing, you will design, optimise, and scale growth mechanisms that directly impact revenue and engagement. You will build and mentor a world-class Growth team while establishing processes, KPIs, and experimentation infrastructure to accelerate decision-making. This is a high-autonomy role in a fast-paced, remote-first environment, where your strategic and analytical expertise will shape the company's trajectory and long-term success.

Accountabilities:

• Lead the product-led growth engine, focusing on creator and fan onboarding, activation, retention, and monetisation
• Design and optimise referral systems, viral loops, and engagement mechanics to drive sustainable growth
• Establish high-velocity experimentation infrastructure with clear success metrics and feedback loops
• Analyse activation funnels, retention curves, ARPU, and other product KPIs to inform strategic decisions
• Build, mentor, and scale a Growth team across PM, Engineering, and Data, ensuring top talent and high performance
• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Data to align growth initiatives with broader business objectives
• Implement growth OKRs, review cycles, and operating rhythms to drive accountability and transparency

Requirements:

• Proven experience leading product-led growth initiatives, building end-to-end growth systems rather than optimising individual channels
• Deep understanding of activation, retention, monetisation, and viral mechanics, ideally in two-sided marketplaces, PLG SaaS, or consumer platforms
• Strong analytical skills and experience with product analytics tools such as Amplitude or Mixpanel
• Track record of hiring, coaching, and scaling high-performing cross-functional teams
• Experience running experimentation programs and interpreting complex product and behavioural data
• Ability to operate in ambiguity, think in systems and loops, and create clarity for teams and stakeholders
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with a partner-oriented mindset and low ego

Benefits:

• Competitive salary with executive-level visibility and impact
• Remote-first flexibility with support for wellbeing and personal growth
• Unlimited holiday policy to encourage work-life balance
• Budget for professional development and team growth
• Opportunity to directly influence GMV, retention, and long-term business leverage
• Culture built on innovation, transparency, ownership, and speed
• Participation in shaping a high-growth, creator-focused platform
