Head of Growth

What's the role?

We’re on the hunt for a Head of Growth to lead the charge at Day1x—the brand-new crypto exchange brought to life by Fusion Markets. At Day1x, we take our clients' trading experience very seriously and want them to trade with the lowest costs and the least friction. Under stealth development for the past three years, we released Australia's lowest-cost exchange to local clients in June 2024. In the next month or two, we’ll be launching to international clients, developing our app, and so much more. This is where a talented Head of Growth steps in... if you’re excited about leading and growing a new business (within a very successful business!) and have bold ideas and big strategies, we’d love to hear from you!

A bit about us...

At Day1x and Fusion, we have big dreams, know-how, and a high bar for the talent we want on the bus* with us to get there. Yes, finance can be serious stuff, but we try not to take ourselves too seriously (*note: sorry, we don't actually have our own bus). We're in some brand-new digs in South Yarra (Goldfields House), complete with 6-star amenities like two commercial-grade coffee machines, sparkling water taps, an infrared sauna, and enough wine to last three decades (our founder is obsessed; don't get him started!). Day1x and Fusion is a place that cares deeply about our clients' trading experience and how we can improve it, but even more about the people here who help make it all happen.

And who is Fusion Markets? Founded in 2019, Fusion opened its doors to clients worldwide in mid-2019. Every month, tens of thousands of clients trade over $150 billion of volume on our trading platforms worldwide, and the company is growing by triple digits each year. This isn't our first rodeo!

A bit about you...

You're a highly skilled jack-of-all-trades with at least three years of proven ability to document the entire lifecycle of production — from conception through to testing and release. You’re never afraid to get your hands dirty and are comfortable with ambiguity. You’re just as comfortable bringing in new business as you are writing up user stories for the next killer feature. You're half sales/marketing and half product.

You might already be a confident leader working in the crypto or fintech space or a guru guiding cross-functional teams in executing improved client experience initiatives.

As an ideal candidate, you will have had direct experience growing a start-up, with a keen eye for marketing, great ears for listening to clients and teammates, and strong communication skills to translate that feedback into actionable projects for our dev team to execute.

What you will own

• Alongside the co-founders, develop and execute a comprehensive product and growth strategy aligned with the company’s goals to become a leading global player in the crypto space.
• Build and lead a high-performing growth team responsible for driving user acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue.
• Collaborate and guide a team of five engineers, including writing user stories, identifying UX improvements, final QA and more.
• Working with the marketing team to Identify, prioritize, and execute growth opportunities across various channels, including digital marketing, social media, content marketing, email, and partnerships.
• Analyse client data and market trends to identify growth opportunities and optimize marketing campaigns.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including marketing, sales, ops and engineering, to drive growth initiatives.
• Develop and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure growth performance and optimize strategies.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest product and growth marketing trends and technologies.

What we are looking for

• A proven track record of driving significant growth in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Ideally, going from zero to one.
• Strong leadership and team management skills with experience building and developing high-performing teams.
• Demonstrate clear past experience rolling up your sleeves and wearing multiple hats simultaneously. You never say, "That's not my job."
• Deep understanding of growth marketing principles, including customer acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue.
• Expertise in data analysis and using data-driven insights to inform decision-making.
• Awesome communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. You are a router of information.
• At least two years of experience working in crypto and financial markets (or it's your passion) is preferred.

A little bit of housekeeping...

• Full-time position based in South Yarra, Melbourne. Please don't apply if you're elsewhere.
• Competitive salary and bonus package.
• Police and bankruptcy checks are required for regulatory reasons.
• We’re all about the magic of in-office collaboration but also offer the flexibility to work from home one day a week—just not on Mondays or Fridays.
