What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote growth or marketing role where I own outcomes end to end—paid media, acquisition, funnel optimization, and unit-economics decisions—working cross-border and improving retention and growth efficiency.

I’m a co-founder who grew a bootstrapped ed-tech exam-prep business to profitability, reaching ~30% net margin and ~2.3-month CAC payback. We serve 1,000+ students through a 130-coach network, with end-to-end ownership of acquisition and the unit economics beneath it.

I ran acquisition end to end—Instagram, influencer partnerships, and DMs through to enrollment—while scaling the funnel and improving efficiency. I also grew the brand with organic student content to a 6,000+ social following, supported by national TV and press, using AI to speed up content and outreach.

I built lifecycle growth through email campaigns, chatbots, and marketing automation in SendPulse. I developed a churn-flagging outreach playbook that kept monthly churn under 10% while driving renewals and referrals, and I shaped pricing, commission mix, and CAC/margin targets through a working financial model.

Most recently, I’m running live Google & Meta Ads for an international real-estate portfolio, handling lead generation and qualification end to end in English. I’m fully remote, hands-on with onboarding and quality control, and I’m looking for a remote growth or marketing role with real ownership of outcomes.
