Sr Manager - Growth & Marketing | Surma - DTC Fashion Brand

About Surma

Surma started with the vision of making good designs accessible in July 2024. We cater to modern women who are aspirational and looking for elevated everyday wear.

We have grown rapidly and received tremendous love from our early customers. At Surma, the consumer sits at the heart of every decision, and we constantly strive to improve customer experience at every touchpoint.

We are now entering a new phase of scale - where sharper execution, disciplined operations, and faster go-to-market will define the next chapter of growth.

Who This Role Is For

                               i.    Strong grasp of performance marketing - Meta, Google, and beyond

                              ii.    Ability to think in frameworks and execute with speed

                            iii.    Comfort with data - you can pull numbers, read them, and act on them

                            iv.    Experience managing agencies, vendors, and cross-functional teams

                              v.    High ownership with low ego

                            vi.    Comfort operating in high-velocity, ambiguous environments

-   Most importantly, you are motivated by outcomes - not just activity.
