👋 We’re hiring a full-time Director of Growth at Lineage Provisions — and we’re not looking for your average FB ads media buyer.

This role is for someone who’s scrappy, data-obsessed and mission-aligned. You’ve built growth frameworks to scale profitable DTC brands, know your way around Meta / Google Ads, are obsessed with CRO and testing — and you actually care about building a business that doesn’t burn cash or sell BS.

If you’re sick of fake “health” brands and want to help build the real food company of the future, come help us take Lineage to the next level.

📍 Fully remote
📈 Profitable growth > growth at all costs
🥩 Must love meat
🧠 Must be a Marketing Scientist at heart

I have a very talented Product / UX Designer friend who is desperately looking to take on some additional contract work while he grows his startup. He has tons of experience in both eCommerce and SAAS, both in UX and Product roles. Here are a few of his app prototypes…

👋 What’s up Limited Supply?!

Matt Hayes here. I’ve been in DTC ecommerce for a decade now (!). I’m the founding CMO / VP eCommerce at DTC mattress brand Leesa Sleep, which we got to 9 figs in ~3.5 years and sold to 3Z Brands recently. After that, my co-founder David Wolfe and I launched The Fascination, a DTC magazine-meets-marketplace that featured hundreds of DTC brands / products, ran copious amounts of publisher whitelisting and attempted to build a multi-brand marketplace. We sold that biz to StackCommerce ~1.5 years ago and I’ve stayed on as an advisor to Stack, going deep down the rabbit hole of commerce content / affiliate / financial lead gen.

I’m an investor / advisor in several SAAS / martech / brands in the ecosystem (Grin, Whalar, Obvi, Archive, Canal to name a few) and open to Fractional CMO opportunities for brands looking to take it to the next level.

Love to talk shop / share knowledge / make connections, so feel free to reach out.
