About Better Boat

Better Boat is a fast-growing US based marine accessories brand trusted by boaters who care about quality, performance, and keeping their boats in top shape. The company is a market leader on Amazon and is now scaling rapidly across Shopify, TikTok, and other digital channels.

We are a lean, founder-led team focused on building smart, efficient marketing systems that deliver real results without big budgets or large agencies. This is an opportunity to join a high-performing American brand with strong traction and help build out the direct-to-consumer engine from the ground up.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on, execution-driven Growth Marketing Manager to build, test, and scale Better Boat's digital growth strategy across Meta, TikTok, Google, and email.

Ideal Candidate

4-8 years of experience in DTC or ecommerce marketing, ideally with a physical product brand (R180M+ annual revenue ? $10M+ USD) Proven success running Meta, TikTok, and Google Ads directly--not just through agencies Skilled at hiring, briefing, and managing freelancers to execute creative and media tasks Strong analytical skills with experience in attribution, pixel tracking, and performance optimization Hands-on experience in Klaviyo lifecycle marketing Creative, resourceful, and data-driven with a strong sense of ownership Entrepreneurial mindset with humility, adaptability, and a focus on execution
