Role
Who you are
- You’ll need to bring sharp thinking, strong commercial instincts, and a clear bias for action
- If you like solving operational puzzles with clear metrics and creative variables that lean on your relationship-building skills, this is a fascinating place to start
- You don’t need to have done this role before (because we’re fairly confident it’s unique) but you do need to be sharp, curious, and comfortable working in a high-context environment where expectations are high and the learning curve is steep
- This is a high-performance role focused on customer acquisition
- It’s ideal for someone in the early to middle stages of their career, e.g. 3–6 years of experience in a fast-paced, commercial environment such as a startup, consultancy, marketing agency, or growth-focused team
- You’ll need to have seen how business growth works in practice, whether that’s running experiments, managing channels, analysing funnels, or helping commercial teams scale
- You don’t need to be a deep specialist, but you do need to be hungry, sharp, curious, and excited to learn quickly by doing
- You are exceptionally determined. You are relentless in the pursuit of your goals, and have demonstrated unusual tenacity and determination in achieving them
- You are instinctively commercial. You have a natural flair for working the angles, and are always interested in how to get deals done
- You’re structured and analytically minded. You break problems into parts, focus on what matters, and work towards clear, measurable outcomes
- You have good channel intuition and are curious about how businesses acquire customers, how channels behave, and how creative and numbers work together
- You’re an excellent communicator. You write clearly, speak crisply, and are confident using data to drive decisions
- You love new tools and thrive on getting them to work for you. You may not code, but you're confident you could learn to if you needed to
- You think like an owner. You care about outcomes more than tasks, and you’re always looking for ways to improve what’s in front of you
- You move fast and learn fast. You enjoy pace, don't mind context-switching, and thrive in conditions of ambiguity — which is to say, you're comfortable even when no one's drawn you a map
- You care about building something meaningful. You’re excited by the mission behind Nous, and motivated by helping households save time and money at scale
- We’re building a best-in-class acquisition team, and we’re looking for someone who’s excited to grow with it. If you get a kick out of turning smart ideas into scalable systems - and helping important products reach the people who need them - we’d love to hear from you
What the job involves
- You’ll join our Growth team and work closely with senior leaders across the business - including our CEO, Greg Marsh - to tackle some of our most important growth challenges
- That might mean improving how we acquire customers, streamlining our internal systems, building systems to automate manual work or testing entirely new growth bets
- Your first major project will be helping scale an unconventional - and highly successful - influencer programme
- At Nous, we don’t treat influencer marketing as a brand-building channel
- We treat it as a high-performance growth engine: a repeatable, data-led system designed to drive measurable acquisition at scale
- It’s a channel with serious commercial targets and you’ll help us build the systems that make it scale: sourcing, onboarding, briefing, and testing hundreds of creators in a way that’s data-led, repeatable and efficient
- From there, your remit will broaden
- You might explore new acquisition channels, refine our landing pages and messaging, support conversion optimisation work, or build scrappy internal tools to automate manual processes
- You won’t be boxed in and you’ll be working on meaningful problems from day one, with the support of smart, ambitious teammates around you
- We’re setting a high bar for this role
Application process
- 1. Screening interview with Talent Lead
- 2. Interview with Greg Marsh (Co-Founder and CEO)
- 3. Remote task
- 4. On-site working session with the Growth Team
Salary benchmarks
Our take
8 out of 10 households pay much more than they need for household services. Some households overpay by thousands of pounds each year. Nous is building a new consumer service that will fundamentally change the way we run our homes, revolutionising a market worth more than £100B just in the UK.
The founding team is a bunch of seasoned entrepreneurs who have built startups from scratch through to exits for hundreds of millions of dollars. They have turned household names like Ocado into unicorns, built world-class engineering teams at Facebook, and even advised and invested in other startups, and taught entrepreneurship at Harvard. They’ve now raised one of the biggest-ever seed rounds in Europe and are set to build a business that improves the lives of millions.
Nous is an early-stage startup building a tech platform that brings together advanced decision-making heuristics and optimisation algorithms, automation technologies, and behavioural economics to make all our lives simpler and fairer.
