Ultra™ | Nicotine-Free Pouches for Focus & Energy

About Ultra ⚡️

Ultra™ is already the #1 brand of nicotine-free pouches in the world and we only launched 6 months ago —we’re just getting started. Our mission is to build the category-defining brand of functional pouches for people who want enhanced performance without the crash, addiction, or long-term downsides. Ultra does not just make a pouch that is somewhat “better for you” than Zyn. We make functional performance products that are actively good for you.

The market shift is massive: nicotine pouch sales are up 3,000% since 2019 and projected to reach $20B by 2026. Consumers are adopting the pouch form factor at scale, and many are now seeking nicotine-free functional benefits in a pouch. Ultra is positioned to lead that wave.

Backed by some of the best investors, founders and athletes in the world, including:

• Left Lane Capital (Blank Street, Olipop, Holy)

• Sugar Capital (Grüns, Feastables, Lucky Energy)

• Athletes & Creators

  • Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott, Henrik Lundqvist, Jakob Chyrchrun + more

• Founders & Operators

The Role 🚀

As Head of Growth at ULTRA, you won’t just be optimizing campaigns—you’ll be architecting the entire growth engine of one of the fastest-growing CPG brands of the past decade.

You’ll lead strategy and execution across every major growth lever: paid media, creative, retention, CRO, influencer, analytics, and growth tech infrastructure. With full ownership of CAC:LTV, contribution margin, and net new customer acquisition, you’ll be empowered to make fast, high-conviction decisions and scale efficiently—without red tape or bottlenecks.

You’ll collaborate directly with the founders and cross-functional leaders to build durable systems, develop top-tier talent, and unlock compounding growth across channels. This is a rare opportunity to step into a true builder role at a brand with momentum, resources, and the ambition to define an entirely new category.

We’re looking for someone who’s been battle-tested—someone who lives and breathes scale, who can build and lead high-performing teams, and knows how to combine media buying, analytics, creative systems, and leadership into a world-class growth machine.

What You’ll Own 💼

Growth Strategy & Ownership

• Own the full growth P&L—driving CAC efficiency, LTV expansion, contribution margin, and net new customer acquisition.

• Set the strategic direction for growth and operate with autonomy, speed, and accountability.

• Ensure integrated planning, testing, and performance alignment across teams, channels and platforms.

Creative Performance & Feedback Loops

• Lead strategy and build systems that tightly connect media buyers, creative, influencer, and UGC teams.

Hiring, Coaching & Talent Development

• Recruit A-players, level up internal talent, and hold the team to ambitious KPIs.

• Build an environment where operators thrive and are empowered to move fast and win.

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)

• Oversee continuous testing across pricing, landing pages, bundles, offers, and funnels.

• Optimize for AOV, CVR, and full-funnel efficiency using structured hypotheses and clear measurement.

Analytics & Decision-Making Infrastructure

• Build and maintain best-in-class reporting frameworks using tools like Northbeam, GA4, Amplitude, and Shopify.

• Turn insights into action and ensure teams operate from clean, trusted data.

Team Leadership & Alignment

• Lead and help to build a high-performing growth org across paid media, creative, influencer, retention, and analytics.

• Create clarity, accountability, and a high-output culture focused on speed, ownership, and results.

Why You’re a Fit ❓

• You think like a founder and operate like an owner—accountable, proactive, and relentlessly results-driven.

• You’ve profitably deployed $100K+/day in paid media across Meta, Google, and TikTok, allocating spend based on CAC:LTV efficiency.

• You’re disciplined and systems-oriented—structured testing, weekly reviews, and playbooks are table stakes.

• You lead through dashboards—building systems that give teams clarity on goals, levers, and bottlenecks.

• You’re full-funnel fluent—seamlessly integrating acquisition, CRO, and retention into one cohesive growth engine.

• You’re deeply analytical—dissecting data and turning insights into strategy.

• You’ve built and coached high-performing teams across paid, creative, lifecycle, influencer, and data.

• You know when to scale, when to pivot, and how to separate signal from noise.

• You’re always sharpening your edge—benchmarking competitors, talking to operators, and pushing yourself.

• You embody ULTRA’s values: Move fast. Be data-driven. Take ownership. Build with intention. Compete to win.
