Apply for Performance / Growth Lead

Gesture is an AI-driven connection company redefining how people and brands engage through tangibility. We merge technology, data, and emotion to create meaningful, real-world experiences, not just transactions. From our consumer app that lets anyone send something special without needing an address, to Gesture Reach360, our tangible marketing platform that puts real products directly into the hands of ideal customers, we’re turning digital impressions into physical connections that drive real action. Gesture isn’t another gifting or marketing company we’re building the world’s most powerful Connection Engine, where every product sent, received, or experienced deepens relationships and delivers measurable impact.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Performance Improve CAC, ROAS, and conversion every week across our paid and owned channels. Run a constant test-and-learn loop on audiences, creative, and offers, and move budget toward what's working before the rest goes stale.

Lifecycle & CRM

Own our CRM channels end to end: the journeys that carry someone from their first gift to a lifetime of sending.

• Shape and execute customer segments across every CRM channel from first-time registrants and leads to our highest-value repeat senders
• Build lifecycle journeys across email, push, and SMS onboarding, repeat-gifting nudges, win-backs, referrals, and loyalty and rigorously test each one so every message drives results and feels human, without increasing churn
• Identify and run high-value, hypothesis-driven experiments inspired by what the data is telling you
• Keep messaging brand-aligned and improve time-to-conversion, working with the content and design talent on the team to capture new leads at every funnel stage
• Be our CRM-stack expert, and work cross-functionally with Product, Analytics, and Engineering to solve bigger business challenges with well-built customer communication streams
• Lead the scaling of high-leverage channels like refer-a-friend (RAF) and SMS

Data, analytics & measurement

This is the technical core of the role:

• Own how we measure campaign performance, customer engagement, and ROI, and turn the key metrics into one clear weekly call on what to do next
• Analyze large datasets to surface customer insights and the real drivers of campaign performance
• Run A/B testing and attribution analysis to sharpen marketing decisions
• Work with our engineering team to get the events, tracking, and data you need from across our platforms (web analytics, CRM, social, and more)
• Pull, clean, and shape data from across our marketing tools so it's ready for analysis and reporting
• Generate the reports, dashboards, and visualizations that show stakeholders what's trending in customer behavior and what's actually working

WHO YOU ARE

• 3–5+ years hands-on in lifecycle, growth, or performance marketing execution, not advisory with results you can point to (improved ROAS, CAC, retention, or conversion)
• Start-up experience and a resilient attitude.
• Deep CRM and lifecycle expertise you understand CRM strategy, tactics, and tools, and you know how to move the KPIs that matter
• Fluency with paid social (Meta, TikTok) and marketing automation
• Strong data fluency comfortable with SQL and with pulling, reading, and shaping your own data plus analytics / BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker) and a real love of turning many data sources into one clear report for leadership
• An Excel / Google Sheets power user who can build clean, reliable reporting for stakeholders and senior leadership
• Strength in both the science and the art of marketing you know when to trust the numbers and run the experiment, and when to trust instinct and try a new direction
• Comfortable owning an initiative end to end from idea to build to launch to analysis, and back again
• A doer's bias to action, with bold ideas and the know-how to get them done you ship, you don't just plan
• Common sense and sound judgment you can tell what moves the needle from what's just noise
• A high degree of intrinsic motivation you own outcomes without being managed to them
• Real curiosity about the numbers, and about the people behind them. We want someone who wonders why people send gifts, not just how many

Nice to have

• Experience with any part of our stack Amplitude, Segment, Branch, Voucherify, or Zoho
• Hands-on with data pipelines / ETL, APIs, or predictive analytics a real plus, but our engineering team owns the heavy data lifting
• Familiarity with cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery)
• Experience in consumer apps, e-commerce, or DTC bonus for repeat-purchase, marketplace, or gifting models
• Early-stage or startup experience comfortable building with imperfect data and tightening it as you go
