Growth Manager
Growth Manager
We're looking for a Growth Manager who believes the best marketing is a product people can't stop talking about, and knows how to build the systems that turn that into scale.
About Take Take Take
Co-founded by 5x World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen, Take Take Take is building a new home for modern chess. An AI-powered platform for casual players to get personalized coaching, play chess, and share their learning journey with friends.
We've already built a significant presence in the chess world, reaching 5 million people every month with our content. We just launched our new product, and are incredibly excited about the future. Take Take Take is backed by SNÖ, Coatue, Lovable, Patrick Collison and others. We’re a small team in Oslo and London, and on a journey to give 600 million Chess players a new home. We would love for you to join us!
The Role
You'll be Take Take Take's first dedicated growth hire — the person who turns our product momentum into a repeatable, scalable growth engine. You believe in product-led growth: that the best acquisition, activation, and retention loops are baked into the product itself, not bolted on through ad spend.
This is not a traditional marketing role. Reporting to the CFO/CCO, you'll work across product, data, and distribution, running experiments, finding leverage points, and working closely with the product team to build growth directly into the experience. You're the future of what marketing looks like at a company like ours.
What You'll Do
Own the growth funnel from acquisition through activation, retention, and referral, with a clear view of what drives each stage
Identify and build growth loops that generate organic acquisition and virality
Design, launch, and analyse growth experiments with rigour and speed
Dig into user behaviour, conversion funnels, and cohort data to identify and prioritize opportunities
Develop and scale the channels that bring the right users to Take Take Take, from SEO and content, to partnerships and community
Work closely with the product team to ensure growth thinking is embedded in every feature
Own key growth metrics (MAU, activation rate, free-to-paid conversion, D7/D30 retention, CAC, LTV, viral coefficient) and keep leadership informed
Who We're Looking For
Must-Haves
At least 3 years (ideally more!) of experience in growth, marketing, and/or product at a consumer technology startup
Deep understanding of product-led growth. You've built or worked within PLG motions before
Strong analytical skills. Comfortable with data tools and able to turn numbers into decisions
Experiment-driven. You test before you scale, and know how to read results honestly
Thorough understanding of key consumer SaaS and app metrics
Self-starter who thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
Nice-to-Haves
Experience growing a mobile app or subscription consumer product
Familiarity with chess or gaming communities
Experience with content-led or community-led growth strategies
Experience with tools like Mixpanel, Amplitude, Braze, or similar
