We’re building something different at Launch With Us.

At Launch With Us, we help ambitious e-commerce brands scale from £2M to £7M+ through high-performance paid social and creative-led growth strategies.

We’re not interested in vanity metrics or bloated agency processes. We focus on outcomes that genuinely move the needle: profitable customer acquisition, stronger retention, and scalable growth.

We manage over £10M in annual paid media spend across Meta and TikTok for brands including Lucky Saint, Fem Fuelz, Butter & Crust, Four Five, and Aromatherapy Associates. Our success comes from combining sharp media buying with creative that converts.

We’re part of the #1 UK Meta independent agency groups; we move fast, think commercially, and give talented people genuine ownership over the accounts they run. This is a place for ambitious operators who want autonomy, accountability, and the opportunity to make a real impact.

The Role

As a Growth Executive, you will serve as the strategic growth partner for a portfolio of DTC e-commerce brands.

You will take ownership of growth planning, commercial strategy, and performance outcomes across your accounts, helping founders and leadership teams make better decisions, identify opportunities, and unlock profitable growth.

Whilst paid social remains a core acquisition channel, your focus extends far beyond campaign management. You will influence creative strategy, customer acquisition, retention initiatives, offer development, conversion optimisation opportunities, and wider commercial planning.

This is the highest-level individual contributor role within the Growth team and is designed for commercially minded operators who combine deep performance marketing expertise with strategic thinking, leadership capability, and a strong understanding of e-commerce growth.

Our Values

• Extreme Ownership: You win or learn. Never blame.
• Radical Curiosity: Challenge assumptions. Explore what’s next.
• Kind Candour: Say what needs to be said, with honesty and purpose.
• Client-Centricity: Think like an owner. Act in your clients’ best interests, always.
