Head of Growth — 1906

About 1906:

We started 1906 because we believe cannabis is the greatest medicine on earth. Our goal is to make cannabis a trusted, normal part of daily wellness with products that are easy to understand and easy to fit into your life and offer the most healthful format of cannabis available. 1906 is named for the last time cannabis was widely accepted as a beneficial medicine. The Wiley Act was enacted the following year, beginning nearly a century of misguided cannabis prohibition with devastating consequences. We say it's high time to make cannabis accessible and understandable for all—for the greater good (and the greater fun).

The Opportunity

We're looking for a high-performing, data-driven operator to lead DTC growth at 1906. As Head of Growth, you'll architect and execute the strategy to scale our DTC business from $10M+ to $50M+ by 2027—owning acquisition, retention, conversion, and the full digital commerce experience.

This role comes with full P&L ownership for DTC and the mandate to build a scalable, profitable growth engine. You'll lead paid media, lifecycle marketing, website optimization, affiliate, and influencer channels—turning insights into action to drive revenue, LTV, and efficiency.

This is not a strategy-only leadership role. You're a full-stack growth marketer who can toggle between building systems and executing the work yourself—whether that's optimizing campaigns, developing landing pages, or troubleshooting conversion funnels.

The ideal candidate has scaled a DTC brand to $50M+, is fluent in Shopify and Klaviyo, and brings a proven track record of delivering results.

Who You Are (and Why We'll Love You)

• You're a full-stack growth marketer who toggles between strategy and execution—and thrives in a roll-up-your-sleeves environment where no task is too small if it drives growth.
• You excel in fast-paced, high-growth environments where you can move quickly and own results.
• You're passionate about functional wellness, cannabis, non-alcoholic beverages, or other therapeutic products.
• You're a high-performing individual contributor who knows how to both build systems and do the work yourself.
• You're data-driven, performance-obsessed, and relentlessly focused on revenue, LTV, and efficiency.
• You have the confidence and curiosity to test, learn, and scale what works—fast.
• You're collaborative, accountable, and energized by building something disruptive.

Performance Marketing & Paid Media
