Head of Organic Growth

Role

As Head of Organic Growth, you will own the product-led and content-led strategies that compound our member growth without relying on paid channels. This is a high-leverage, execution-first role for someone who moves fast, thinks in systems, and builds with AI at the center of everything they do.

We are at the stage right before “Function = Health” becomes a common mental shortcut. Your job is to make Function the default answer wherever people ask health questions — Google, AI assistants, YouTube, and their own family group chats.

You will own three pillars:

01 K-FACTOR & VIRALITY

• Design, launch, and iterate on referral programs that meaningfully increase k-factor, building mechanics into the product and member experience.
• Map and shrink viral cycle time: instrument every referral surface, identify where member-to-member spread breaks down, and compress the time between a member's first great experience and their first successful referral.
• Partner with Product to build shareable moments natively into the experience — health is multiplayer, and moments like biological age results are made to be shared. Turn members into our most effective growth channel.

02 FUNNEL & CRO

• Guide conversion from account creation to paid member: identify friction points, prioritize the highest-leverage interventions, and close the gap through structured experimentation.
• Lead A/B testing cadence across web, checkout, onboarding, and lifecycle, with clear statistical discipline and fast learning loops.
• Instrument and recover drop-offs at every funnel stage, segmenting by cohort, persona, and intent signal to design recovery flows that bring high-intent leads back before they go cold.
• As Function expands access with lower-friction entry points, own the organic loops that convert new audiences into paying members.

03 SEARCH EVERYWHERE: SEO, GEO & YOUTUBE

• Build Function's authority in the category it's creating — own the health education queries that pull people toward continuous, proactive health before they've ever heard of us.
• Ensure Function shows up where and how people search, across traditional engines and AI-driven discovery tools, with a site and content architecture built to support it.
• Own YouTube discoverability: build an intent-driven video strategy that treats YouTube as a search engine — keyword and question research, titles, thumbnails, chapters, and channel architecture — partnering with Creative to turn Function's health education into content that both educates and entertains.
• Develop a content strategy grounded in genuine health information authority that earns trust before a member ever sees a paywall.

MEASUREMENT, TEAM & OPERATIONS

• Build attribution models across referral, search, video, and lifecycle-driven growth with enough precision to drive real investment decisions.
• Recruit, manage, and develop a lean team of specialists and external partners — you set the standard, not just manage to it.
• Use AI tools natively across research, content production, experimentation, and operations, setting the model for how the Growth team works.

Qualifications

• AI-FORWARD OPERATOR REQUIRED
• 10+ years in organic growth, SEO, or product-led growth, with a track record of compounding results.
• Hands-on operator who runs experiments themselves — not just directs others to run them.
• Deep technical SEO fluency: crawl architecture, Core Web Vitals, schema, indexing strategy, and log-file analysis.
• Fluent in GEO and AI-driven search: how LLMs surface brands, what signals matter, and how to earn placement.
• Experience growing YouTube or video as an organic discovery channel — video SEO, packaging (titles, thumbnails, hooks), and audience retention mechanics.
• Demonstrated experience designing or scaling referral programs with measurable k-factor impact.
• Strong CRO chops — A/B testing methodology, statistical significance, funnel decomposition.
• Proficient with analytics and experimentation tools (GA4, Amplitude, Looker, or equivalent); can pull and interpret your own data.
• Uses AI tools — Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, etc. — as a genuine force multiplier, not a novelty.
• Experience building or managing small, high-output teams and agency/contractor relationships.
• Comfortable operating in an early-stage growth environment: ambiguous, fast, high-ownership.
• Strong written communicator who can simplify complex growth concepts for cross-functional and executive audiences.
• Experience in health, wellness, consumer subscription, or another high-trust category is a plus.
