Summary of Role

The Head of Marketing will lead Haven Energy's marketing strategy and execution, with a focus on building a scalable, high-performance demand engine that drives customer acquisition and revenue growth.

This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for developing and optimizing full-funnel marketing programs in a dynamic and evolving market environment. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in performance marketing, strong analytical rigor, and a track record of building efficient growth engines in complex, highly competitive categories.

You will partner cross-functionally across sales, product, operations, and external stakeholders to translate market opportunities into measurable business outcomes.

This role is a true player-coach position. You will operate as the architect of Haven's growth engine while also executing critical components directly. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable setting strategy, building scalable systems, and getting into the details such as launching campaigns, analyzing performance, and iterating quickly.

• Develop full-funnel strategies that improve conversion from initial engagement through closed business
• Establish a rigorous testing and optimization framework across campaigns, creative, and user experience

• 8-12+ years of D2C marketing experience, with prior ownership of company-wide marketing strategy.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a hands-on leader in a high-growth or resource-constrained environment
