Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Head of Growth role stands out in SaaS because it sits at the intersection of consumer adoption and embedded distribution. Checkr Personal is positioned as a newer product line within an established SaaS company, with demand coming both from direct-to-consumer usage and from platforms that want verified profiles integrated into their experiences. That mix makes growth less about a single channel and more about building repeatable loops across product and partner surfaces.
From a SaaS career perspective, the work maps closely to the core mechanics that travel well across modern subscription and product-led businesses: experimentation discipline, funnel ownership from acquisition through retention, and rigorous unit economics thinking (CAC, LTV, retention, virality). The remit also implies close collaboration with product, design, and engineering—useful exposure for operators who want to deepen product growth fluency rather than stay purely in campaign execution.
This role is best suited to a senior, hands-on generalist who prefers breadth over specialization and is comfortable switching between analysis and creative execution. It will fit someone who values proximity to leadership, enjoys ambiguous problem spaces, and wants to shape how a growth function is built for a distinct product line inside a larger SaaS organization.

Who you are
- 8+ years in growth marketing, with some experience as a founder or at an early stage, high-growth consumer startup.
- A generalist with experience across acquisition, lifecycle, and product-led growth.

- Analytical and creative in equal measure: you can go from SQL to campaign copy and Figma mock in a single day.
- Excited by ambiguity and speed.
- Curious about AI-driven growth and automation tools.
