Head of Growth

As Head of Growth at Kamino, you will build and lead growth across the company's direct and partner-distributed financial products. You own the growth strategy across acquisition, activation, retention and cross-product adoption, deciding where to invest and which approaches can scale. This is a hands-on, function-building role where you establish the foundational programs yourself before hiring the team to expand them.

What you'll do

• Build and lead the Growth function, owning strategy, budget and forecasts across direct and partner-distributed products. Launch foundational programs yourself, then hire the team to scale them.
• Acquire funded customers by building paid acquisition alongside other high-potential channels, owning channel economics, creative testing and conversion across marketing-controlled journeys.
• Build lifecycle and retention programs that drive repeat use, cross-product adoption, retained capital and reactivation through CRM, automation and customer programs.
• Activate partner distribution by working with Business Development and partners to turn access through wallets, exchanges and financial applications into funded customer activity and revenue.
• Own attribution and experimentation, allocating spending and incentives based on customer quality, incremental growth and payback, including whether activity lasts after rewards end.

What you bring

• 10+ years of growth experience, including senior ownership of growth for a D2C financial product and direct experience serving U.S. customers.
• A track record of growing funded customers, retained balances and repeat activity while maintaining strong acquisition economics and customer quality.
• Experience building a Growth function in a lean company, setting direction, doing foundational work personally, and hiring and developing the team that scaled it.
• The ability to lead across acquisition and lifecycle, with deep expertise in at least one of paid acquisition or lifecycle and the judgment to hire strong specialists.
• Experience building CRM and lifecycle systems using segmentation, automation and controlled experiments, improving conversion across campaign journeys, landing pages, referrals and other marketing-controlled surfaces.
• Ownership of material growth budgets, with strong judgment across attribution, incrementality, cohort quality, customer value, payback and forecasting.
• Sound judgment around customer trust, compliance and platform policies, and clear executive communication across Marketing, Product, Design, Data, Finance and Business Development.
• Daily fluency with AI tools and workflows that improve the speed and quality of your work.

Nice to have

• Direct experience growing crypto, digital-asset or onchain products.
• Experience with financial products where growth depends on funded balances and repeat transactions.
• Experience growing products through another company's customer experience.
• Experience building growth across a connected portfolio of financial products.

What we offer

• Annual base salary of USD $210,000-$260,000
• Performance-based bonus and long-term KMNO participation
• Full-time role based in New York City, with four days per week in the office
• Possible immigration sponsorship for exceptional candidates who meet the experience bar and can work from New York
