About the role
About vidIQ
vidIQ helps millions of YouTube creators grow through data, education, and AI-powered tools. Our mission is to be the smart copilot every creator needs.
We're looking for a hands-on Growth Lead who can find opportunities and build the solution—whether that's a product experience, acquisition loop, lifecycle program, partner motion, or lightweight internal tool.
What You'll Build
- New acquisition and distribution loops across creators, affiliates, partners, organic channels, and paid programs.
- Faster paths from signup to first value, especially during a creator's first 30 minutes with vidIQ.
- Personalized onboarding and education based on a creator's size, experience, and goals.
- Better purchase experiences across pricing, packaging, checkout, subscriptions, and payment recovery.
- Lifecycle experiences that give creators a reason to return and make progress with vidIQ.
- Experiments across the complete journey from first touch to engaged, paying, retained creator.
You'll own the complete growth cycle: find the opportunity, define the experience, build or directly enable it, launch it, learn from the result, and decide what comes next.
What You’ll Do
- You'll be the DRI for identifying growth opportunities, choosing which ideas deserve a test, and recommending what vidIQ should ramp, revise, hold, or stop.
- Prototype ideas and ship to production yourself using a frontier AI stack (Claude Code, Codex) plus a bespoke vidIQ deployment harness that keeps shipping risk low.
- Bring in Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, Partnerships, or Finance when their expertise materially improves the outcome.
- Turn successful experiments into durable product, channel, partner, or lifecycle growth loops.
- Build an internal agent brain on what vidIQ tried, learned, scaled, and stopped so the next experiment starts smarter.
What We're Looking For
- You genuinely care about solving problems for creators because you are one—with 100+ followers or subscribers—or are close to someone who is.
- You have a track record of growing B2C, prosumer, subscription, product-led, or creator-economy products.
- You're a builder with strong product judgment. You independently identify opportunities, decide what to try, and turn ambiguous problems into working experiences.
- You have designed, launched, and analyzed A/B tests that measurably improved activation, conversion, monetization, retention, or efficient acquisition.
- You can move comfortably across product, marketing, lifecycle, partnerships, and data without treating organizational boundaries as blockers.
- You use AI and automation throughout your workflow to research, prototype, build, and iterate faster while remaining accountable for quality.
- You communicate clearly, create momentum without reporting authority, and know when to ask for help.
This Role Is Not
- A people-management role or a mandate to build a new team.
- A role where other teams do all the building while you coordinate.
- A paid-media, lifecycle, CRM, or product-marketing specialist role.
- A Growth Product Manager role limited to onboarding, paywalls, or other product surfaces.
- A generic Head of Growth role centered on agencies, org design, or executive presentations.
