Protein Works is a brand people genuinely love - strong retention, engaged community, and product quality that earns trust. We want someone to add fuel to that fire! The business is investing in paid performance as a core growth lever, and this role has real visibility and influence. This role supports paid performance across key acquisition channels - with a particular focus on TikTok and Meta - driving efficient new customer acquisition while protecting contribution margin.
You'll sit at the intersection of creative and performance, working with data daily and testing constantly. Success here means growing revenue without letting CAC creep, and building a paid channel that scales predictably.
