About Owting

Owting is building a platform designed to help people reconnect in real life. The product makes it easier to make plans, meet up, and build meaningful friendships offline. We are an early-stage, mission-driven team focused on solving loneliness through intentional, real-world connection.

Overview

This role sits at the intersection of product, marketing, and data. You will own user growth end-to-end from acquisition to activation to retention. The focus is not just driving installs, but building scalable growth loops that convert users into active participants in real-world experiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and execute the overall growth strategy across acquisition, activation, and retention
• Identify, test, and scale growth channels (paid, organic, partnerships, referrals)
• Design and optimize onboarding to improve activation and early user engagement
• Build and iterate on growth loops (invites, events, referrals, network effects)
• Run rapid experiments (landing pages, messaging, funnels) and analyze results
• Partner closely with product/engineering to implement growth features
• Track and report on key metrics (CAC, activation rate, retention, DAU/WAU)
• Align growth efforts with brand, community, and product strategy

Qualifications

• 3–6+ years of experience in growth, product marketing, or early-stage startups
• Strong understanding of growth funnels, experimentation, and analytics
• Experience scaling a product from early traction to measurable growth
• Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on (builder mindset)
• Data-driven with the ability to translate insights into action
• Clear, direct communication and strong ownership mentality
• Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

Preferred (not required)

• Experience with consumer or social products
• Background in marketplace or network-effect platforms
• Experience with paid acquisition (Meta, TikTok, Google)
• Familiarity with tools like Mixpanel, Amplitude, GA, or similar
• Experience building referral or viral growth systems
• Interest in wellness, connection, or social impact

What We Offer

• Equity ownership in Owting with long-term upside
• Clear path to transition into a paid role post-funding based on performance and company growth
• Direct impact on product direction and company trajectory
• High autonomy and fast execution environment
• Recognition for strategic and measurable contributions

Why This Role

This is a high-impact, zero-to-one role. You will define how Owting grows and how users experience the product from first touch to ongoing engagement. Success in this role directly shapes the scale and impact of the company.
