Growth Marketer (QA) - 22124

Role: Growth Marketer (Product QA)
Location: South Africa, Latin America, Philppines, India
Working Hours: Full-time, remote, with flexible hours aligned to Pacific Time. 

About the company: An early-stage advertising technology startup is looking for a growth marketer who will test and evaluate its product through the eyes of the marketers who will use it.

About the role: You will put the product through its paces before it reaches end clients, testing how it performs and whether it actually delivers for someone running paid campaigns. You will track performance metrics, turn what you find into clear adjustments, and work with the existing marketing team on growth strategy. Success means the product works the way a growth marketer needs it to, and the issues that would frustrate a client get caught and fixed first.
​​​​​​
Responsibilities:

• Run continuous end-to-end QA testing, functional evaluations, and exploratory audits on the ad tech product during every stage of feature development.

• Apply an experienced growth marketer's strategic perspective to validate workflows, usability, and campaign efficacy before product capabilities reach end clients.

• Track analytics, key performance metrics, and user feedback loops to recommend data-driven adjustments and resolve operational friction points proactively.

• Collaborate closely with internal marketing, product, and engineering teams to co-create scalable growth strategies and align feature roadmaps.

• Paid media background in a role such as media planner, media buyer, or campaign manager (organic-only marketing experience will not qualify)

• Hands-on experience managing live ad spend: actively monitoring accounts, pausing underperforming campaigns, and reallocating budget between channels based on performance data

• Strong command of Google Ads and Meta Ads

• Experience running paid media for retail or physical products, including DTC brands on Shopify or WooCommerce, retail media on marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart, and Target, and traditional search and social channels

• Budget ownership: comfortable taking a P&L-style view of spend and distributing budget across channels

• Experience evaluating and testing software functionality (QA)

• Able to work independently and with a team in a fully remote setting during Pacific Time business hours

• Experience with other paid social channels such as TikTok

• A clear understanding of how retail media and marketplace advertising differs from running search and social campaigns

• Experience testing marketing or advertising software from the end user’s point of view

• Experience working in an early-stage startup or a lean team

Who thrives in this role:

• Likes breaking things on purpose to find out where they fail

• Solves problems instead of waiting for someone else to clear the way

• Adapts quickly when priorities shift as the product evolves

• Thinks like the end user and writes up findings clearly and briefly
