Growth Marketing Lead — WhyGolf Mobile App

About WhyGolf

We’re hiring a Growth Marketing Lead to own paid acquisition and growth for the WhyGolf mobile app.

This is not a junior role and not a pure media buyer. You’ll be an operator—someone who can take growth strategy, translate it into execution, and reliably ship results across paid channels while working closely with product, creative, and lifecycle.

You will own performance marketing for the app end to end, with accountability for acquisition efficiency, creative testing velocity, and downstream performance.
