Growth Strategist
Maneuver Marketing
Description
Our Vision, Mission & Success are fuelled by our commitment to be a driving force of positive change to the health of everyday consumers, providing conscious, high-quality & innovative supplement products.
In just 5 years, we kicked off our own DTC Health & Wellness brand from scratch and scaled it to USD$100M+ in annual sales, serving more than 3,000,000 customers worldwide with an average of 4,000 daily orders across 9 SKUs.
These results caught the attention of The Financial Times, as they ranked us among APACs top High-Growth Companies. We have also been awarded 2nd place on the E50 Awards, jointly organised by The Business Times and KPMG in Singapore.
We are looking for a highly skilled and ambitious Growth Strategist with at least 3 years of experience, managing at least $1M per month in ad spend to join our team. Today, the role of a Senior Media Buyer has evolved into a Growth Strategist - it's no longer enough to work inside ad accounts - effective marketing requires critical thinking, conducting deep research, translating insights into ideas, and taking those ideas through implementation. Of course, you cannot do this alone.
As a Growth Strategist at Maneuver, you will lead a product marketing team comprising a copywriter, creative strategist, designer, and media buyer to grow 2 flagship products. You'll meet with fellow Growth Strategists to exchange ideas and best practices regularly. The product marketing team is supported by cross-functional teams: (a) Influencer & Partnerships, (b) Videos, (c) Marketplaces, (d) Measurement, (e) Retention, (f) Other Channels (e.g. AppLovin, Google), and (g) Tech - all of which are essential to grow a product to $100M+ a year profitably.
As such, the best candidates have a track record of building something from scratch and demonstrate strong resourcefulness to overcome challenges and explore uncharted territory.
You'll own the development and iteration of Meta-led growth strategies grounded in first principles, real-world data, and deep DTC competitive intelligence.
- Identify bottlenecks and opportunities through structured root-cause analysis across creative, media, offer, funnel, and product positioning.
- Systematically uncover under-tapped or untapped opportunities by reverse-engineering winning DTC products and offers across Google Search, Amazon, Shopify, Meta, YouTube, and adjacent channels.
- Analyze why products sell well (positioning, mechanism, claims, pricing, bundles, merchandising, distribution) and map those learnings to Maneuver's products to unlock new markets, angles, and growth paths.
- Prioritize high-leverage initiatives that balance short-term profitability with long-term strategic breakthroughs (new positioning, new audiences, new use cases).
- Act with urgency to gather new signals, test hypotheses, and adapt strategy in-market.
- Ruthlessly focus team energy on the highest-ROI initiatives that move core business metrics.
You'll lead a continuous discovery process that directly informs positioning, creative direction, funnel strategy, and media execution.
- Conduct social listening across Facebook Groups, Reddit, TikTok, Pinterest, reviews, and UGC ecosystems to surface pains, unmet needs, objections, and language patterns.
- Dive into product‑level inputs (clinical studies, ingredient claims, AOV/LTV trends, customer reviews, refunds, CX tickets) to sharpen value propositions and positioning.
- Run deep competitive audits using tools such as Meta Ad Library, Atria, Transparency Center, VidTao, Google Search, and Amazon to identify messaging gaps, offer structures, and creative patterns.
- Triangulate qualitative and quantitative insights into clear strategic actions that unlock growth.
Design and manage high-performance Meta ad systems that balance testing discipline with scalable performance.
- Architect account structures, naming conventions, and testing frameworks for clean data capture and fast learning.
- Execute and evolve bid strategies (Cost Cap, minROAS, Bid Cap, Highest Volume, Accelerated Bid Cap) based on signal quality, scale phase, and business context.
- Build creative testing matrices and scale frameworks (ABO/CBO/ASC setups, budget ramps, funnel staging, whitelisting).
- Ensure delivery systems and media execution align tightly with strategic hypotheses and growth objectives.
You'll provide a bird's eye view of the creative and messaging ecosystem, ensuring alignment across teams and funnel stages.
- Co-own the high‑level creative roadmap across TOF / MOF / BOF / Buyer stages with the copywriter and creative strategist
- Map current messaging by awareness level and sophistication, identifying gaps, redundancies, and misalignment.
- Assess whether ads, of
Eligibility Criteria
- At least 3 to 7 years of relevant experience working with DTC brands as a media buyer / Growth Strategist.
- Strong "builder" desire - we built our brand to 9 figures in revenue profitably with ~30 full-time employees and this would not have happened without a strong work ethic and a mission-driven culture. We aim to build the brand to 10 figures by the end of the decade, and this requires a strong sense of commitment to build something together with like-minded people.
