Overview

As Surfline's Head of Marketing , you'll lead our marketing function and own strategies that drive subscriber growth, retention, and brand strength. You'll oversee a high-performing team, collaborate cross-functionally, and balance big-picture vision with hands-on execution.

We’re looking for someone with deep experience in consumer subscription marketing and product-led growth. You thrive in fast-moving environments, operate with a strong sense of ownership, and are motivated by impact, not activity.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop and execute the overall marketing strategy to drive subscriber growth, engagement, and retention
  • Partner with product, data, and finance teams to be the voice of the customer and help optimize subscription funnel economics to improve customer lifetime value
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing marketing team with a culture of curiosity, testing and outcomes

Brand & Communications

  • Elevate the brand through consistent messaging, storytelling, and positioning
  • Work closely with the rest of the organization to elevate and market specific product features and benefits that drive differentiation in the marketplace
  • Evaluate and pursue partnerships that can drive brand awareness and performance through 3rd party channels and budgets
  • Ensure all marketing efforts align with the company’s mission and values
  • Aquisition & Growth

  • Test and optimize paid acquisition channels (digital, partnerships, affiliate, SEO, content, etc.) based on specific CPA and lifetime value parameters
  • Manage non-media channels (SEO, GEO, ASO) to drive organic acquisition
  • Test, measure, and scale new customer journeys that drive trial-to-conversion metrics
  • Retention & Lifecycle

  • Design and implement lifecycle marketing strategies (including email, push, in-app, and loyalty programs) to reduce churn and increase engagement
  • Partner with product teams to improve onboarding and user journeys that drive adoption and stickiness
  • Use segmentation and personalization to improve conversion and retention
  • Data & Insights

  • Define and track KPIs such as CAC, LTV, conversion rates, churn, and marketing ROI
  • Leverage data, experimentation, and insights to continuously improve performance
  • Present clear and actionable reporting to the executive team
  • What We’re Looking For

  • 8+ years in consumer marketing, ideally within a subscription business
  • Proven success scaling multi-channel campaigns that drive measurable subscriber growth
  • Strong growth marketing skills, particularly in product-led growth, funnel optimization, and growth loops
  • Expertise across acquisition, lifecycle, brand, and product marketing
  • Strong communicator and cross-functional leader with a track record of influence and impact
  • Hands-on, resourceful, and comfortable navigating ambiguity in fast-paced environments
  • Creative sensibility with an eye for brand, storytelling, and design
  • You May Also Have

  • Strong surf intuition and passion for the ocean - you speak the culture of surfing and / or other nearshore ocean verticals
  • Experience scaling brands in international markets
  • Background in consumer tech, sports, lifestyle, or media
  • Compensation and Benefits

    The base salary range for this position is $150,000 - $220,000. In accordance with applicable state laws, the range provided is Surfline's reasonable estimate of the base compensation for this role. The actual amount may be higher or lower, based on non-discriminatory factors such as experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and location. Surfline offers a competitive and comprehensive benefits package including 100% company-paid healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), a 401(k) plan and match, Use What You Need PTO and more.
