Host & Support Live Programming Assist with planning and hosting live events (digital and in-person) Bring energy, presence, and authenticity to audience interactions 5. Experiment, Learn, Repeat Participate in test-and-learn growth experiments Track basic performance metrics and iterate quickly Learn what drives participation, sharing, and retention 6. Flex Across Marketing Jump in as extra hands on shoots, campaigns, launches, or site updates Support cross-functional projects as the team evolves What Success Looks Like K-Factor: viral coefficient (how many new users each existing user brings in). $0 CAC: Your primary goal is to drive the Customer Acquisition Cost as close to zero as possible through organic channels. Active Community Rate: % of users who engage with the brand/community weekly. Consistent supply of organic, native content A teammate who makes the entire Growth team move faster
