London

Hybrid, 3+ days a week in the office

£55–75k + competitive seed-stage equity (0.3-0.5%)

About us

We’re Heywa - a seed-stage, VC-backed startup building a new kind of Answer & Action Engine: blending AI-powered answers, real human voices, and instant next steps. Think of it as the quickest, most delightful way to go from a question to action.

We’re backed by top-tier investors and driven by the belief that knowledge should be as accessible, playful, and actionable as your favorite app. Our first users are Gen Z and Millennials, but our ambition is global.

The Role

This is a ground-floor growth role - you’ll be the one testing channels, shaping our brand presence, and building the early playbook to acquire, activate, and retain users.

We’re looking for a scrappy, creative, data-driven operator who loves experimenting, learning fast, and scaling what works.

What you’ll do

• Run growth experiments across paid & organic channels (TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Pinterest, etc.)
• Create and test content: short-form video, memes, and posts, or briefing UGC creators/editors to bring ideas to life
• Own key growth metrics (CAC, CTR, retention) and turn insights into next steps
• Shape messaging and creative angles with the founding team to connect with our early community
• Write the first growth playbook - from acquisition to activation to retention

What we’re looking for

• Generalist mindset: you’re equally comfortable launching TikTok ads, drafting witty captions, or tweaking attribution pixels
• Creative + analytical: you enjoy testing new formats and measuring what works
• Experience with paid social and organic growth, ideally in consumer apps or brands targeting Gen Z
• Hands-on with growth tools: TikTok Ads Manager, Meta Ads, Segment, Mixpanel (bonus if you’ve set them up yourself)
• Scrappy operator: you don’t wait for big budgets - you find smart, low-cost ways to test
• Excited by early-stage chaos, wearing multiple hats, and helping build a fun consumer brand from scratch

What we offer

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity as an early hire
• Direct access to the founding team and a chance to shape strategy from day one
• Freedom to experiment, learn fast, and see your ideas live with real users immediately
• A playful, ambitious culture - we celebrate wins together and move fast
