Job Description

Yope is an AI-native social app for your closest friends — real friends, no followers, just Yope. We're building a private micro-community where you share your real life with the people who matter, and save it forever. No followers, no subscribers, no likes. Just a place to enjoy life together with the people closest to you, without worrying who's watching.

We're not a performance-marketing company — we're the opposite end of the spectrum. We've grown to 12M+ downloads, 500M+ photos shared, and a 4.8 App Store rating (12K+ ratings) almost entirely through organic and UGC-driven growth, with retention, engagement, and time-spent that beat category benchmarks. Now we're introducing premium monetization (think Snapchat+, Telegram Premium, Discord Nitro) and scaling toward our next milestones: 10M MAU, then 50M MAU.

We're looking for a Growth Lead to build the future of private social communication — someone exceptionally smart, with real growth muscle, who thinks in systems and isn't afraid to find the non-obvious answer.

About you:

Must-have skills:

• 5–9 years in growth, user acquisition, performance marketing, or product growth.
• You're a hands-on growth operator, not a deck reader.
• You've built or scaled consumer mobile, social, or mobile-game products.
• Strong in paid media, UGC, creator programs, virality, experimentation, and analytics.
• You've operated in environments with multi-million / $100M+/year marketing budgets — you understand what that scale actually looks like.
• Comfortable operating at game-dev speed: fast testing, aggressive iteration, building systems from first principles.
• AI-native mindset: you solve problems by opening Claude and building the tool, not by scheduling 50 meetings.
• Exceptional systems thinking plus the ability to find non-standard solutions live, in the moment — not just apply a known playbook.
• English at a strong professional level.

Nice-to-have:

• Background from Tier-1 game development or high-velocity consumer mobile (e.g. King, Roblox, Epic Games).
• Experience with products that reached massive scale, built strong creator/UGC loops, or grew to $100M+ revenue / 100M+ users in the past 5 years.

What you will do:

• Build 2–3 stable, predictably scaling growth channels with unit-economics-like predictability.
• Own and scale our fundamental growth channels: UGC production (including our own content series), creator/ambassador engines, fandom and community marketing, campus ambassador programs, and multi-channel performance buying.
• Design and run a system that tests thousands of creatives per week — hypotheses, automation, analytics, the full machine.
• Build AI-native identity and workflows into the entire growth team.
• Drive aggressive, compounding growth (think 10x), boosting our organic engine through paid and tactical channels.

What makes you successful in this role:

• You're brilliant — speed of thinking, broad erudition, market sense, and the ability to reason on the fly.
• You have genuine growth muscle: you've stood close to where big budgets met explosive growth.
• You bring real creativity — the ability to extrapolate and invent, not just execute existing playbooks.
• You take ownership from idea to impact and thrive in ambiguity at early stage.
• You want to go beyond performance alone and build systems that scale organic, viral, community-driven growth.
• You fit a high-intensity, no-toxicity, supportive-but-demanding culture where everyone runs hard and lifts each other.

What we offer:

• Meaningful equity — own what you build.
• Direct impact: work directly with the CEO; this is a path to a C-level / CMO role.
• A team of 10+ from day one reporting into you, and builders from world-class consumer companies around you.
• A top-tier team and physical offices in London and Lisbon, with remote flexibility across the EU.
• The chance to build the hiring and growth function from the ground up.
