Design and launch 5+ structured A/B tests across landing pages, email sequences, and paid channels with clear success metrics
Establish baseline KPIs, instrumentation, and attribution tracking across all acquisition touchpoints
Generate 200+ qualified applications for Summer 2026 programs through optimized top-of-funnel campaigns
Scale winning acquisition channels (organic, paid, partnerships, events) with documented playbooks for 3x application volume
Redesign nurture flows and landing pages to achieve 25%+ improvement in funnel conversion rate
Build and validate scalable growth loops (referral mechanics, community distribution) that drive repeatable acquisition
Deliver comprehensive growth playbook with hypotheses, learnings, and systems that enable sustained growth post-contract
KPIs You'll Own

Is This Role For You?
- You've run 4+ growth experiments across funnels and can tie results to business impact, not just metrics
- You write copy that converts—not brand fluff—and obsess over landing page performance
- You're comfortable with uncertainty: no previous playbook exists, so you'll design testing frameworks from scratch
- You understand investor/founder psychology and can position education programs against competitors
- You want hands-on execution over strategy meetings—you'll personally own A/B tests, email sequences, and channel optimization
- You need deep product knowledge before starting—you'll learn 500 Global's programs on the job
- You prefer long-term stability—this is a contract role with clear end-date milestones
- You avoid the messy middle—you'll spend time troubleshooting attribution, testing hypotheses that fail, and iterating rapidly
