Growth Operator

Growth:

Video is the most powerful way humans tell stories. It always has been. But creating it today is still painfully hard. Fragmented tools, steep learning curves, and workflows that get in the way of the actual creative work. We're building Cardboard to change that.

The best product doesn't always win. The best-distributed one often does. Right now, millions of creators/videographers/marketers would fall in love with Cardboard if they tried it. But many of them just don't know it exists yet. Your job is to go find them.

What you’ll actually do:

• Treat growth as an engineering problem: Parallelly take bets across influencer, UGC, launches, communities, and paid ads. Test across geographies, niches, formats, and platforms. Obsess over CAC, kill the losers fast, pour energy into the winners. Finding what works through fast experimentation will be your main goal.

• Build scalable growth channels from zero: Turn the winning experiments into repeatable machines and live in dashboards to know what's working in hard cold numbers, not vibes.

• Creator pipeline: Own the full funnel for sourcing, enrichment, outreach, follow ups, negotiation, going live, tracking, and optimizing/scaling what works.

• Cold outreach at volume with automations and tools.

• Work closely with the growth, product, and media teams. Also, collaborate with contractors and freelancers to scale what works.

In short you run multiple experiments, when a channel works, you double down. When it doesn't, you kill it and try the next absurd out-of-the-box idea. You'll work directly with the founders and Head of Growth, and set the playbook on which the future growth team will run.

Note: This is high-volume, scrappy, rejection-heavy work. Hundreds of DMs to get few replies to get handful of creators that move the needle. If that sounds miserable, this isn't the role. If this gets you excited and sounds like a game you would win, we'd love to speak with you.

Who you are

• Relentlessly frugal and hacky: If you can’t find a tool for the job? You spin up one using claude/codex in a few hours.

• You can sell: You write DMs that a busy creator is compelled to respond to, and you close them at top of the industry CPMs.

• You are terminally online: You understand and track the trends, and use them as leverage to bring in more users.

• You love volume and speed: Hundred NOs won't demotivate you, you understand that they are the enablers for the 2 YESes you’ll get.

• You live with data. You'd rather kill your own idea with a number than defend it with a vibe.

• You're AGI-pilled: You already run your life on agents and automations, and you've tried whatever new tool/model dropped last week. You should strive to automate your job every day so you can take on the next big thing.

• Bonus: If you've been a founder, i.e., you've grown something of your own from zero - a social media account, a newsletter, a community, or a side hustle.
