INTRODUCTION
Lead Growth Marketing Manager (Consumer Acquisition)
LOCATION: Austin, TX, United States
CATEGORY: Marketing
JOB ID: 3196
DESCRIPTION
This role sits at the center of scaling a high-priority, early-stage consumer line of business. Acquisition is your immediate mandate: you will optimize and scale established performance channels while systematically discovering and unlocking the next ones. Paid acquisition is an essential pillar, but it lives within a wide growth portfolio spanning website conversion, lifecycle programs, outbound mechanics, and go-to-market systems. You will naturally be deepest in a few of these areas, but you should be conversant and comfortable across all of them.
This is a high-autonomy individual contributor (IC) position designed for a strategic growth operator. Rather than operating in an operational silo, you will mobilize and lead cross-functional squads across Marketing, Product, Engineering, Design, and Data to turn growth hypotheses into execution. You possess the dual mindset of someone who is deeply motivated by quantitative exploration to uncover fresh growth vectors, yet relentless about fine-tuning unit economics across proven channels. Whether an initiative calls for driving high-level strategy or rolling up your sleeves to launch tests directly, you will do whatever it takes to move the needle, and you’ll have the executive communication skills to present your strategic rationale directly to leadership.
Throughout all of this, modern AI tools are integral to how you work: you’ll leverage AI to rapidly draft creative assets, build and test landing page variants, and automate iterative workflows to move faster and stay lean.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What You’ll Do:
Scale Established Channels & Discover New Levers
- Drive end-to-end acquisition strategy across paid media (Meta, Google/YouTube, TikTok, and emerging networks) while discovering and testing new, non-traditional distribution loops.
- Connect paid acquisition with on-site conversion rate optimization (CRO), lifecycle touchpoints, outbound initiatives, and GTM systems to ensure sustainable user economics.
- Spot organic discovery and AI search engine opportunities, set the KPIs and directional strategy, and coordinate with specialized partners and cross-functional teams to capture high-intent demand.
Surface Opportunities & Lead Cross-Functional Squads
- Identify untapped growth opportunities through data and customer signals, orchestrating cross-functional teams to deliver them or rolling up your sleeves to execute the zero-to-one build yourself.
- Lead and align agile, cross-functional squads across Product, Engineering, Design, Lifecycle, and Data Science to run coordinated growth experiments.
- Synthesize complex performance data and cohort analytics into clear, actionable readouts and strategic recommendations for senior leadership.
Build AI-Accelerated Growth Engines
- Utilize generative AI workflows to rapidly prototype landing pages, generate creative and copy variations, and launch experiments without getting stuck in support queues.
- Deploy AI tools to streamline campaign operations, accelerate multivariate testing velocity, and create scalable, compounding marketing surfaces.
Drive Experimentation & Analytical Rigor
- Build rigorous testing roadmaps across messaging hooks, creative angles, audience cohorts, and post-click onboarding funnels.
- Model CAC, conversion efficiency, payback timelines, and customer lifetime value (LTV) to ensure channel expansion remains profitable.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
What You Bring:
- Consumer Growth & Channel Breadth
- 8–10+ years of growth experience in performance marketing, demand generation, or growth product marketing within high-growth B2C tech or consumer digital platforms.
- Demonstrated track record of scaling consumer businesses, with verifiable results driving growth through paid acquisition, product marketing (PMM), go-to-market (GTM) execution, or dedicated growth analytics.
- Strong depth in paid acquisition paired with practical working literacy across landing page optimization, lifecycle, outbound channels, and GTM infrastructure.
-
Ability to recognize organic search, content, and discovery mechanics as commercial growth levers and steer initiatives toward measurable business goals.
-
Proven Analytics Track Record
- Demonstrated track record using data and analytics to uncover hidden growth headroom, prioritize high-impact bets, and defend strategic decisions.
- Highly proficient in building unit-economics models, evaluating cohort curves, and measuring incrementality without requiring heavy analyst oversight.
-
Familiarity with modern attribution landscapes, privacy shifts, and blended measurement frameworks.
-
Cross-Functional Influence & Execution Agility
- Proven ability as an individual contributor to lead cross-functional projects, rally cross-discipline partners, and maintain momentum across teams.
- Comfortable balancing strategic prioritization with direct execution, stepping in to personally set up, test, and iterate when the playbook is still unwritten.
-
Confident, polished communication style capable of framing trade-offs, commercial upside, and risk directly to senior stakeholders.
-
Practical AI Fluency
- Active, regular user of generative AI tools for creative generation, copy iteration, asset variation, and rapid landing page development.
- Experience using AI tools to increase execution speed, eliminate operational bottlenecks, and maintain high testing velocity.
- Clear intuition for brand voice, quality assurance, and risk awareness when deploying AI-assisted assets in the market.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Growth Lead Jobs
Frame your growth metrics for specialty occupation
H-1B eligibility hinges on proving the role requires a specific degree, not just analytical skills. Document how your work ties directly to a marketing, economics, or statistics degree to strengthen the specialty occupation argument during USCIS adjudication.
Search LCA filings by growth role title
Use Migrate Mate to find employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history for growth and marketing roles. That filing history signals an employer already understands the sponsorship process, cutting weeks off your negotiation.
Distinguish yourself across O-1 criteria early
If you have published case studies, conference speaking credits, or industry awards, catalog them now. O-1A petitions for growth professionals turn on documented recognition, so assembling evidence of original contributions before you start interviewing saves critical time later.
Verify prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your location and role. Run your job title and metro area through the OFLC Wage Search before salary discussions so you can spot underpayment that would invalidate the LCA at filing.
Align your degree field with the job description wording
USCIS reviewers compare your diploma field directly against the job posting. If your degree says 'communication' but the posting requires 'quantitative marketing,' ask the employer to revise the description or provide an expert opinion letter bridging the two fields.
Time your H-1B cap filing around the annual selection
H-1B is subject to an annual cap and selection process, and the rules have changed recently. Confirm your start date with the employer works within the cap timeline so an offer letter doesn't expire before your status can begin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Growth Lead role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It can, but it depends on how the employer frames the job requirements. USCIS expects the role to normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as marketing, economics, or statistics. Generic 'analytical mindset' language without a degree requirement often triggers a Request for Evidence, so the job description wording matters significantly.
Which visas are most realistic for international Growth Lead candidates?
H-1B is the most common path for Growth Leads at U.S. employers, though it requires clearing the annual cap and selection process. Australian citizens can pursue the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and a 10,500 annual cap that has never been exhausted. Candidates with an extraordinary record of measurable growth impact may also qualify for the O-1A.
How do I find Growth Lead roles where employers already sponsor visas?
Browse Migrate Mate, which lists U.S. employers with verified H-1B and E-3 LCA filing history searchable by role and city. Focusing on employers with prior filing history shortens the sponsorship conversation because their HR and legal teams have already worked through the process.
Does my degree field matter if I have years of growth experience?
Yes. USCIS evaluates both your degree and your work experience when assessing specialty occupation. If your degree is in an unrelated field, three years of directly relevant experience can substitute for one year of education under the H-1B rules, but you'll need a detailed evaluation letter from a credential assessment organization to make that case to USCIS.
Can a Growth Lead on OPT or STEM OPT get sponsored before their authorization expires?
Yes, but timing is tight. Standard OPT lasts 12 months, and a STEM OPT extension adds 24 months for qualifying degree holders whose employer is enrolled in E-Verify. If the H-1B cap selection doesn't result in a petition before OPT ends, a STEM OPT extension buys additional runway while you pursue the next cap cycle.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Growth Lead jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
