Growth Head

Bengaluru, India · Full-time · On-site

About Kaho

Kaho is your personal AI therapist — a private, judgment-free space to talk through whatever you’re carrying, built with professional therapists. It’s for the 2 a.m. overthinking, the situationships, and the things people can’t say out loud. Completely private, and therapist-supervised, Kaho listens, helps you make sense of what you’re feeling, and gently challenges you instead of just telling you what you want to hear.

We’re on a mission to make the world a lighter place — to put a private, non-judgmental conversation within everyone’s reach, and to normalise getting support long before things reach a crisis. Kaho is live on iOS and Android, with a core audience of Gen-Z Indians, especially the ones who have considered therapy but haven’t availed it for affordability or other concerns.

20% of Kaho users currently spend more than 30 minutes on the app on the first day itself.

About the role

This is our first dedicated growth hire — a founding role that owns Kaho’s entire growth engine from 0→1. You’ll build and run acquisition across paid, organic, and partnerships; bring CAC down while keeping the CAC:LTV equation healthy; and design channels that compound rather than depend on ever-rising spend. We’re looking to scale rapidly over the next four months — so this is a build-and-execute role for someone who wants outsized ownership at a category-defining moment.

Expectations

- Deeply understand Kaho — its positioning, its customers, their problems and needs — and the real barriers and gaps in both therapy and AI usage for this use case.
- Own the CAC:LTV equation: drive CAC down while protecting retention and lifetime value,



backed by a measurable, well-attributed growth stack (we use AppsFlyer + Mixpanel).
- Execute and optimize paid campaigns across platforms (Meta, Google, Apple Search Ads, and others) — from creative and audience testing to scaling winners.
- Complement paid with organic — content, social, and community — to build compounding growth channels that lower blended CAC over time.
- Bring strong taste for the creative formats that actually work for this audience, across both AI-generated and user-generated content.
- Ideate and ship creative growth hacks — not just run standard playbooks.
- Identify and land the right partnerships and collaborations — with platforms, communities, and therapists — that unlock distribution and credibility.
- Run influencer and creator programs end-to-end, from sourcing and briefing to measuring impact.
- Have a creative mindset, work with creators, ability to create basic content

Ideal candidate profile

- 3+ years driving growth for 0→1 consumer brands, with a track record of bringing CACs down and managing the CAC:LTV equation — ideally for AI companion or consumer-app use cases in India.
- Full-stack growth: solid performance-marketing chops (Meta / Google / Apple Search Ads) plus organic, social, and influencer-led growth.
- Deeply data-driven — lives in funnels, cohorts, retention,



and attribution — and equally comfortable briefing and judging creative.
- A real feel for Gen-Z Indian culture and the content formats that travel with this audience.
- Scrappy, high-ownership, and thrives in ambiguity and speed.
- Bonus: experience in mental wellness, AI companions, or content-led consumer growth.
- Genuinely cares about mental health and the problem we’re solving.

Compensation Cash plus meaningful founding member equity. Beyond the package, this is a chance to solve a real, deeply human problem, help create a category, and build something genuinely meaningful and life-changing — work that matters, with your fingerprints all over it.
