Director of Growth Marketing

Director of Growth Marketing Location: Austin, TX — In Office Department: Marketing Reports To: CRO About inKind inKind is transforming the way restaurants access growth capital and build relationships with their guests. Sitting at the intersection of hospitality, fintech, consumer technology, and loyalty, our platform helps restaurant operators grow while giving consumers a better way to discover, experience, and engage with restaurants. We're entering our next stage of growth, with significant opportunities to improve how we acquire, engage, retain, and monetize customers while building inKind into a recognized consumer brand. We're looking for a Director of Marketing who is a builder and an operator — someone who can turn growth opportunities into working programs, launch new initiatives, optimize existing channels, and create repeatable systems that drive measurable results. The Role The Director of Marketing will lead the execution and optimization of inKind's marketing initiatives across consumer lifecycle, subscriptions, performance marketing, brand, and partner acquisition.

You'll work across Marketing, Product, Engineering, Data, Sales, and Operations to identify growth opportunities, build solutions, launch campaigns, measure performance, and continuously improve results. We are not looking for someone who simply develops strategies, manages agencies, or oversees campaign calendars. We want someone who understands how modern marketing systems work, can get into the details of execution, and knows how to turn ideas into measurable business outcomes.

Launch and scale consumer subscriptions: Build and execute the go-to-market, acquisition, onboarding, engagement, and retention programs needed to establish a successful subscription business. Integrate brand into B2B performance marketing: Evolve inKind's transaction-focused restaurant acquisition channels by incorporating stronger brand storytelling, differentiated positioning, and creative that builds trust while improving commercial performance. Beyond these priorities, you'll continuously identify opportunities to improve marketing efficiency, customer experience, and growth. What You'll Own Build an Automated Lifecycle Marketing Engine Lead the transition from one-off, calendar-driven campaigns to a scalable, automated lifecycle marketing operation. Audit existing customer communications, journeys, segmentation, and engagement performance to identify gaps and opportunities. Build and execute automated customer journeys across onboarding, activation, engagement, repeat usage, retention, and reactivation. Use behavioral data, transaction history, customer preferences, and predictive signals to trigger relevant, personalized communications. Work directly with Braze, Snowflake, and internal teams to improve audience segmentation, orchestration, and campaign automation. Develop testing frameworks across messaging, creative, timing, offers, and channels. Identify opportunities to leverage AI and automated agents to improve personalization, campaign execution, reporting, and optimization. Establish clear performance dashboards and continuously improve conversion, engagement, purchase frequency, and customer lifetime value. The outcome: A lifecycle marketing engine that consistently drives customer behavior and revenue without relying on constant manual campaign creation. Lead the Launch and Growth of Consumer Subscriptions Own the marketing execution behind the introduction and scaling of inKind's consumer subscription offering. Partner with Product, Finance, Data, and Engineering to develop and execute the subscription go-to-market plan. Translate the subscription value proposition into clear positioning, messaging, creative, and customer-facing experiences.
