About The Team

- You will be part of the Growth team, responsible for driving consumer acquisition, activation, and retention at scale across one of India's largest and most diverse e-commerce audiences.
- The team owns the full-funnel consumer growth charter — from bringing new users onto the platform, to converting and activating them, to building habits that drive long-term retention.
- Operating in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment, the team combines structured problem-solving with rapid execution and manages a large, complex media budget across performance marketing channels to unlock consumer growth at scale.

About The Role

- We are looking for a Manager – Performance Marketing to join our Growth team and take ownership of consumer acquisition, activation, and retention through performance marketing.
- This is a consumer acquisition mandate (not seller/supply-side) — you will own paid growth across Meta, Google, and emerging platforms, manage a media budget upwards of ₹500 Cr+, and lead a team of performance marketers.
- Beyond deep, hands-on channel expertise, we're looking for someone with a strong growth mindset — who can look around corners, stay ahead of new ad-tech trends and platforms, and translate ambiguous problem statements into innovative, scalable solutions.
