About Aonic
We're building the modern, healthy PepsiCo: a next-generation functional nutrition company making vibrant wellness effortless for millions of Americans through scientifically advanced, delicious products like Aonic Complete (our patent-pending all-in-one supplement) and Aonic Fuel (clean, high-protein fuel with 32g protein and 5g fiber).
We run a highly efficient, high-growth organization. Our goals for 2026 are clear: grow 20X, hit $40M ARR and profitability with a lean team of just 10 FTEs.
We prioritize skill and AI over headcount — no bloated middle management, no slow corporate processes. We believe in extreme efficiency, AI-driven automation, and a small team of high-agency builders who move faster and smarter than anyone else in the market.
This is a role for a hands-on operator who wants to own the P&L, leverage AI to 10x output, and scale a brand to 8-figures.
The Role
As our VP Growth Marketing, you are the engine room of Aonic’s growth. You are a data scientist, a creative strategist, and a technical architect rolled into one.
You will sit directly in the driver’s seat of our revenue machine. Your mandate is clear: Drive Users and Sales via Paid Performance, maximize LTV via Email/SMS, and ruthlessly optimize our CAC.
What You’ll Own
- Paid Acquisition Strategy: End-to-end management of paid channels (Meta, Google, TikTok, Amazon, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit, and emerging platforms). You know the algorithms inside-out and how to feed them winning data signals.
- Organic Growth: Own brand and organic content end-to-end. Build and lead the content team to create a world-class engine generating millions of daily views, accelerating Aonic into one of the most trusted names in health and wellness.
- Influencer Marketing: From sourcing thousands of creators to landing mega-influencers and celebrities you take over full ownership. Define research, strategy, and execution to make influencer one of our strongest growth pillars.
- Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO): You own the Landing Page strategy. You understand that traffic is useless without conversion, and you will build, test, and iterate high-converting funnels.
- Retention & Lifecycle: Oversee SMS and email marketing. Minimize churn and maximize LTV through smart segmentation and automation.
- Data & Attribution: Own the Marketing Tracking Systems. You ensure we have pristine data attribution to make decisions based on contribution margin, not vanity metrics.
- AI & Automation Architecture: Utilize low-code tools and AI to automate reporting, bid management, and creative iterations, removing manual grunt work from your day-to-day.
The Core Toolkit & DNA
We are looking for a rare combination of traits. To succeed in this role, you must possess the following mix:
- AI-First + Low-Code Native: Deep daily use of AI combined with hands-on building (e.g., Cursor, Make.com, n8n) to automate workflows and create internal tools.
- Trifecta of smarts: Book-smart (top-tier academics), people-smart (reads customer psychology and applies it at scale), and street-smart (sharp commercial instincts, ROI-focused, spots asymmetric bets in noise).
- Taste: Strong aesthetic sensibility and intuitive feel for premium branding that aligns with our vision.
- Drive: Naturally ambitious, hungry, and hardworking. You own outcomes, not just tasks.
Your Background
- Honors degree from a top-tier university
- 5+ years in high-impact growth marketing with proven massive scaling of accounts
- Track record of taking ad accounts from hundreds to thousands+ monthly conversions
- Experience at a high-growth e-commerce startup/scaleup or top-tier performance marketing agency/consultancy
Why Join Aonic?
- Impact: Help us grow 20X in 2026 and reach millions of people in America to empower them to live a healthier and happier life.
- Autonomy: You will have control over your strategy, team, budget and KPIs.
- Elite Team: Work alongside a small team of 10 high-performers and partner directly with the CEO.
- Modern Stack: We provide the budget for the best tools, AI, and tech to maximize your efficiency.
