Job Description
The role You'll be our first paid acquisition hire, and you'll own the channels where we pay to reach borrowers (end to end). This is not a seat where you tune bids and hand everything else to a team. There is no team yet. You'll build the engine: the channels, the tracking, the creative tests, the landing pages, and the honest read on what every dollar returns.

You'll manage real spend, pace it, and forecast how many borrowers a given budget should produce and explain it when the numbers move. What the role is (an
