The Challenge

Daydream is redefining fashion discovery with a chat-based shopping agent backed by top-tier VCs (Google Ventures, Index, Forerunner). You'll build the growth experimentation engine that turns curiosity into adoption—owning everything from paid social creative to product activation.

Your Mission

First 3 Months
1

Establish baseline metrics across acquisition channels (paid social, search, emerging platforms) and document current conversion funnel from ad to activation

2

Design and launch 3-5 rapid experimentation sprints testing creative variations, messaging angles, and audience segments to identify initial winning patterns

3

Build or refine the creative testing infrastructure: define workflows for rapid creative generation (leveraging AI tools), testing methodology, and feedback loops with internal/agency teams

4

Partner with product to map the full funnel and identify 2-3 quick wins in landing page or onboarding that improve activation rates by 10%+

By 6 Months
1

Scale proven creative/messaging winners across paid social and search while maintaining LTV:CAC ratio >3:1; target 30%+ QoQ user acquisition growth

2

Operationalize systematic testing cadence: run 15+ experiments per month with documented learnings and clear handoffs to product for high-impact iterations

3

Develop AI-powered creative testing framework that reduces time-to-test by 50% and generates 50+ creative variations monthly for rapid learning cycles

4

Present growth strategy roadmap identifying 2-3 new acquisition channels or messaging repositioning opportunities with projected impact on unit economics

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've led performance marketing at a high-growth consumer startup and obsess over experimentation and creative testing as a growth lever
  • You're equally comfortable deep in ad platforms reviewing performance data AND pitching strategy to leadership; no ivory tower marketing
  • You have a proven track record of scaling acquisition while maintaining healthy unit economics (LTV:CAC ratio discipline)
  • You thrive at the intersection of brand, performance, and product—understanding how messaging, creative, and UX all drive conversion together
  • You're excited by AI-powered tools and automation to accelerate growth workflows
Won't Work If
  • You've only managed brand marketing or creative development without hands-on P&L responsibility for acquisition costs and ROI
  • You need flexibility or remote work—this role is on-site in NYC
  • You prefer deep specialization in one channel (e.g., only paid social) over owning the full funnel and connecting creative to product outcomes
