About the Role

We are hiring a Director of Growth to build the next layer of commercial leadership across CSC Generation's portfolio. You will work across brand, merchandising, site experience, customer behavior, and demand generation to identify what is limiting growth, challenge stagnant assumptions, and push cross-functional teams toward better commercial outcomes.

This is not a pure paid media, creative, or ecommerce operations role — it is a cross-functional growth leadership role for someone who can connect those functions into one commercial system. Success in the first 6–12 months means stronger growth hypotheses, better prioritization, higher testing velocity, and measurably better commercial decisions across the organization.

This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.

What You'll Do

Growth Strategy and Prioritization

• Own growth hypotheses across brand, merchandising, site experience, paid media, and customer demand.


• Identify what is actually constraining conversion, customer acquisition, and revenue growth rather than accepting inherited assumptions.


• Translate ambiguous growth questions into clear priorities, tests, and decisions.


• Use data, judgment, and first-principles thinking to rank growth opportunities and allocate attention toward the highest-return work.

Testing and Commercial Execution

• Push a higher testing cadence across channels and functions, turning opinions into measurable experiments.


• Partner with merchandising, buying, creative, digital, and performance marketing leaders to translate ideas into commercial action.


• Challenge "we've hit the limit" thinking and raise the ambition level of teams that are too comfortable with the current state.


• Spot where assortment, taste, brand expression, site experience, or channel strategy is underpowered relative to its potential.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Bring enough operator credibility to move teams, not just advise them.


• Build repeatable growth playbooks that can scale across the portfolio.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in growth, ecommerce, brand strategy, merchandising strategy, performance marketing, or a cross-functional commercial role spanning several of those areas.


• Proven track record of driving growth by challenging assumptions, not just optimizing within a pre-set lane.


• Strong commercial instinct and the ability to identify where money is being left on the table.


• Ability to think across brand, product, site, merchandising, marketing, and customer behavior rather than staying confined to one specialty.


• Demonstrated testing mindset with a bias toward action, iteration, and measurable learning.


• Strong operator credibility with the ability to influence functional leaders and move work forward without direct control over every team.


• Comfort using data to form and refine hypotheses without becoming trapped in analysis-only mode.


• Clear evidence that you raise ambition levels around you.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in home, design-led, luxury, or lifestyle ecommerce.


• Experience bridging brand or taste decisions with demand generation and conversion work.


• Familiarity with performance marketing economics and incrementality thinking.


• Experience working inside a holding company, shared services environment, or multi-brand portfolio.


• AI-native workflow habits that improve speed, leverage, and commercial insight.
