Head of Growth and Development

Head of Growth & Performance - E-commerce Dubai, UAE | Full Time | Executive Leadership Team Help Shape the Next Stage of One of Europe's Fastest-Growing Ecommerce Businesses At DRUIDS, we've built one of Europe's leading direct-to-consumer sports brands by thinking differently. We're entrepreneurial, ambitious and move quickly. Every decision we make is driven by one goal: building a better business for the long term. Although we've achieved significant growth, we believe we're only scratching the surface. With exciting expansion plans, new markets, new product categories and significant investment in technology and AI, we're entering the most exciting chapter in our journey. That's why we're looking for an exceptional Head of Growth & Performance to join our leadership team. This isn't a traditional Paid Media role. We don't need someone whose focus is simply managing Google Ads or Meta campaigns. AI is increasingly taking care of campaign execution. We're looking for someone who can think commercially, challenge convention, identify opportunities and build sustainable, profitable growth across the entire business. If you want to help shape the future of a business with enormous ambition and the freedom to make a genuine impact, we'd love to hear from you. The Opportunity Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll own the commercial growth strategy across the business. You'll lead customer acquisition, marketing performance and commercial growth, ensuring every pound invested delivers long-term profitable revenue. Working alongside Buying, Ecommerce, Creative and Leadership, you'll help influence decisions that extend far beyond marketing. This is a role for someone who wants a seat at the table—not someone looking to simply manage advertising platforms. What You'll Own • Profitable revenue growth—not simply ROAS. • Customer acquisition across all paid channels. • Marketing strategy across existing and emerging platforms. • Budget allocation across products, markets and campaigns. • Growth through data, AI and automation. • Creative testing and optimisation. • First-party data and attribution. • Agency management and technology partners. • Commercial reporting and strategic recommendations. • Identifying new opportunities to scale the business internationally. Who You Are You're commercially minded before you're channel minded. You understand that marketing isn't about getting the cheapest click—it's about growing a business profitably. You're excited by AI, automation and new technology, but you know that commercial judgement still wins. You enjoy solving problems, making decisions and taking ownership. Most importantly, you're a leader. You build trust, bring people together and create high-performing teams. Our Culture At DRUIDS we work hard, move quickly and challenge ideas openly. Healthy debate is encouraged. Politics isn't. We're looking for someone who is: • Low ego. • Highly accountable. • Commercially curious. • Positive and solutions-focused. • Comfortable making decisions. • Happy to challenge respectfully. • Able to commit fully once a decision has been made. • Passionate about building people as well as building performance. We believe the best teams win together. We value collaboration, trust and accountability above hierarchy or office politics. Why Join DRUIDS? This is an opportunity to join at a pivotal stage of our journey. You'll have the freedom to influence strategy, shape the future of our growth function and build world-class marketing capabilities using AI, automation and data. If you're excited by building something exceptional rather than simply maintaining what's already there, we'd love to hear from you. Show more Show less
