Summary

AthenaHQ is a category-defining company in digital marketing, seeking a Growth Engineer to drive their growth to $10M+ ARR. The role involves designing growth experiments, building scalable systems, and taking ownership of the entire growth function while working closely with the CEO and founding team.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute experiments to increase lead generation across channels
• Test hypotheses, measure results, and report findings to the team
• Double down on what works and build compounding growth loops
• Architect end-to-end systems that make growth repeatable, not ad hoc
• Own the marketing-to-sales-to-CSM handoff: build seamless flows so contacts move through our pipeline without friction
• Set up and manage the tools, automations, and analytics infrastructure that power our growth engine
• If you see an opportunity or a problem, you take action instead of waiting for permission
• Own results and entire areas of the company, not just tasks
• You've built an end-to-end project in Claude Code (or similar) that you're comfortable demo'ing
• You use AI tools daily to move faster, think more clearly, and multiply your output
• Be a power user of the AthenaHQ platform itself, providing daily product feedback to our product team
• Strong critical thinking. You form your own hypotheses about markets and channels, you don't blindly follow playbooks
• Systems-oriented mindset. You think in loops, leverage, and compounding, not one-off campaigns
• Comfort with ambiguity. You can figure out what to do when nobody has told you what to do
• Bias toward action. You ship, measure, learn, and iterate quickly
• Clear communication. You can articulate what you're doing, why, and what you've learned
