Head of Growth/ Demand

An exceptional opportunity awaits a commercially driven, data-fluent growth leader to take ownership of the full demand engine for a high-growth DTC consumer brand scaling rapidly in the UK.

This role is designed for someone who understands that modern growth sits at the intersection of performance, lifecycle, content, experimentation, and product-led thinking. It is not simply a marketing leadership role, it is a revenue-driving, demand-shaping position with real ownership and autonomy.

As Head of Demand (Growth) - UK, you will lead acquisition, retention, and lifecycle strategy end-to-end, building a best-in-class growth engine that drives efficient, scalable revenue - overseeing performance marketing, CRM, lifecycle, CRO, SEO and GEO, affiliates, referrals, and growth experimentation, while working closely with Brand, Product, Ops, and Data.

With a strong team already in place and meaningful budget ownership, this is a chance to step into a pivotal leadership role within a business on an ambitious trajectory.
