To revolutionize the transportation industry for delivery drivers.
Role
Who you are
- Hands-on experience in performance and growth marketing, including paid acquisition across Meta, Google, TikTok, and similar platforms
- Analytical and data-driven, comfortable working with dashboards, attribution, experiments, and ongoing optimization
- AI-native, with practical experience using automation tools and no-code/low-code solutions: nice to have
- Curious and open to testing new channels and approaches, including offline and non-traditional acquisition methods
- Experience managing small teams, with a strong willingness to remain hands-on and execution-focused
- Fluent English and Russian
What the job involves
- The Head of Marketing will build and scale a predictable, measurable customer acquisition engine across digital, offline, and partnership channels
- This role will support Whizz’s transition from a New York–focused business to a nationwide platform, with growth across multiple cities in the U.S. , Canada, and additional markets over time
- Key Responsibilities in the first 12-18 months
- Relaunch and scale paid acquisition by rebuilding creatives, funnels, landing pages, and related assets to achieve predictable CAC
- Scale offline marketing channels, including field, scout, and referral programs, as a core source of customer acquisition
- Grow existing and build new B2B partnerships with delivery platforms and other relevant partners
- Build, maintain, and improve a clear marketing analytics and attribution framework across all channels
- Drive product marketing initiatives, including testing pricing, plans, bundles, and offers to improve CAC and retention
- Develop a scalable multi-city growth playbook that enables the team to launch and manage campaigns across many cities in the U.S. and Canada at the same time
Our take
With New York City alone home to over 60,000 delivery workers, Whizz is seizing the opportunity to innovate the electric bike rental industry. Many e-bikes available today are expensive or do not meet regulations, so Whizz offers affordable and safe e-bikes to gig workers through its marketplace platform.
Whizz was founded in 2022 but already has notable partnerships with Grubhub and DoorDash, offering their drivers rent-to-own and subscription schemes at a discount. Whizz subscriptions also include service, maintenance and anti-theft protection, providing strong coverage for workers whose income is reliant on the quality of their vehicle.
Early funding will be channelled into expansion, as Whizz pushes to capitalise on its strong start. It does have a prominent competitor in Zoomo, a company that has already entered a partnership with Uber Eats, though it is too early to say if either business is a frontrunner to capture this growing market. Either way, things certainly look promising for Whizz's future.
