Director of Growth

Sequencing is building the interface between humanity and its DNA. Using clinical-grade whole genome sequencing, AI, and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of genomic applications, we help people better understand themselves, their health, and their future through their DNA. The human genome is one of the most valuable and underutilized resources in the world. Our mission is to transform the human genome into a lifelong source of personalized guidance and build the trusted home for every genome on Earth. As the world’s largest direct-to-consumer whole genome sequencing platform, Sequencing is helping define the future of AI-powered personalized health. We’re a profitable, venture-backed, fully remote company building category-defining products that help people better understand themselves through their DNA. The opportunity Most growth roles are about selling more of the same. This isn't one of them. At Sequencing, we're building technology that has the potential to fundamentally transform how people understand their health, prevent disease, and personalize wellness. Every improvement in growth means more people gaining access to information that can change the trajectory of their lives. Sequencing is looking for an exceptional Director of Growth to lead and scale an already substantial, multimillion-dollar performance marketing engine - and to discover and build what comes next. This is a hands-on, player-coach role for a growth leader who wants ownership over strategy and results. You’ll personally analyze performance, uncover opportunities others miss, test and unlock new channels, create repeatable growth systems, and continually raise the ceiling on what our business can achieve. The challenge isn’t simply spending more – it’s determining how, where, and when to scale while protecting customer quality, payback, and long-term value. If you're energized by solving hard growth problems, thrive in environments where there isn't already a playbook, and want to help scale technology that can genuinely improve millions of lives, we'd love to meet you. What you'll own Build the next growth engine Develop the next generation of scalable customer acquisition strategies as traditional performance marketing tactics mature. Lead hands-on strategy and execution across paid and organic channels - campaign structure, audience strategy, bidding, creative testing, and ongoing optimization of a significant budget. Continually identify, validate, and scale new growth opportunities across paid, organic, partnerships, lifecycle, creator, referral, SEO, answer engine optimization, and emerging acquisition channels Build repeatable growth systems rather than relying on a single winning channel. Own profitable growth Own customer acquisition with accountability for CAC, LTV, payback period, contribution margin, retention, and long-term customer value. Determine when and where additional marketing investment generates attractive returns and where performance begins to deteriorate. Balance aggressive growth with disciplined capital allocation. Lead from the front Stay close to the work every day. Dive into campaign performance, creative, landing pages, customer journeys, attribution, analytics, and experimentation. Work side by side with the team to launch campaigns, analyze results, troubleshoot issues, and accelerate execution. Improve the systems, reporting, and operating rhythms needed to run a sophisticated growth function without a large team. Who you are You’ve done this before. 8+ years of experience scaling performance marketing for consumer technology, subscription, marketplace, SaaS, DTC, or another high-growth business. Proven experience managing and scaling substantial paid budgets across channels, accountable for CAC, payback, LTV, and contribution margin. You have adapted and built new growth playbooks as channels matured, competition increased, and traditional tactics became less effective. You are a builder. You are a highly accountable player-coach. You set the strategy, take ownership of outcomes, and stay close to the work - personally investigating performance, evaluating creative, and launching experiments. You are a solutions-oriented. You prioritize what matters, move quickly, and are equally comfortable leading and executing in a fast-moving environment. You are a strong creative partner. You turn performance insights into concepts, messaging, and tests alongside creative teams. You care about long-term value, not just campaign metrics. You are data obsessed. You do not accept surface-level explanations or rely on dashboards alone. You investigate until you understand why performance changed and what to do next. You’re relentlessly curious and you use data to form hypotheses, design experiments, make decisions quickly, and scale what works. You have strong command of experimentation, attribution, incrementality, funnel analysis, cohort performance, and unit economics - you dig past dashboards to understand why performance changed. You are an AI-native growth operator. AI is embedded in how you work, not added on afterward. You use AI every day to analyze data, accelerate testing, and produce more with a lean team, and you know where it creates real leverage versus where human judgment matters most. You use AI to materially increase what a lean growth team can accomplish - accelerating analysis, experimentation, creative development, and execution without requiring additional resources. You are relentlessly curious. You naturally search for new growth opportunities others overlook. You remain optimistic when channels change and view industry shifts as opportunities. You persist through difficult problems until you find a solution. Why this matters Most companies ask marketers to sell more products. At Sequencing, every new customer gains lifelong access to information that can help them better understand their health, medications, inherited risks, and future. The work you do won't simply improve growth performance. It will help accelerate the adoption of technology that will transform healthcare from reactive to preventive and personalized. You'll join a team building the world's most ambitious consumer genomics platform at a moment when advances in AI, whole genome sequencing, and precision medicine are fundamentally changing what's possible. If you've been looking for the opportunity to apply your growth expertise to something that genuinely matters - and to help build a category defining company - this is that opportunity.
