Growth Operations Manager

💼 About the Role
We’re looking for a Growth Operations Manager to own the systems, processes, and performance infrastructure powering our B2C growth engine - across marketing, sales, and beyond. This hands-on operational role drives alignment, accountability, and innovation, with a strong focus on leveraging technology and AI to improve productivity and results.
You won’t execute campaigns directly but will work closely with executive and marketing leadership to connect strategy to execution, monitor performance across markets, and be accountable for meeting growth targets. You’ll play a key role in driving sales performance and aligning product and academic teams with growth priorities.
This is a high-impact role for someone who combines operational rigor with a future-focused mindset - constantly applying automation, AI, and growth hacks to optimize how we grow.
