Head of Growth Marketing

<p>Full-Time | Executive Leadership | Reports to: President</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Us</strong></p><p><br></p><p>eJam is a bootstrapped consumer products company that has built, scaled, and exited multiple brands — all without ever taking a dollar of outside capital. Our portfolio includes category leaders ranked at the top of Amazon, carried in major retailers nationwide, and sold across DTC, marketplaces, and every channel in between.</p><p><br></p><p>We're not a startup hoping something works. We're a team that has done it repeatedly — taken products from zero to eight figures, landed them on retail shelves nationwide, and built real brands that consumers love. We operate like a holding company with the speed of a startup: small team, no bureaucracy, massive ownership.</p><p><br></p><p>This is the place where you'll see the entire machine — sourcing, product development, packaging, manufacturing, compliance, marketing, marketplace strategy, retail — all under one roof. If you want to learn how consumer products actually get built and shipped at scale, there is no faster education than this.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Role Summary</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The Head of Growth owns the digital demand engine across DTC, TikTok Shop, Amazon (in partnership with Marketplace), and Paid Social.

The Head of Growth must be able to scale marketing from a scrappy fast-moving model to an institutional-grade, multi-channel growth engine capable of supporting a business scaling beyond $100M+ while maintaining contribution margin discipline.</p><p><br></p><p>The ideal candidate brings deep experience in DTC acquisition, paid social, TikTok Shop, Amazon attribution, creator partnerships, and full-funnel performance architecture.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Core Responsibilities</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>1.
