Growth Strategist

About Helios and Roon

Helios is the human enhancement company, founded by three Harvard Medical School physician-scientists. We are building a consumer health company from the ground up, and the ambition is enormous: to give people a way to understand and improve their own health that has simply never existed before.

Our first product is Roon, a line of nootropic pouches for clean focus and energy without the crash, and it is launching now. Behind it is the larger mission. We are pioneering a way for anyone to profile their health from home at a depth that was, until now, inconceivable, and building the intelligence that turns it into something a person can act on. Roon is how we learn consumer first-hand, with real products, real customers, and real budget, and the same playbook is what we will run as the bigger product reaches the world. We are well-capitalized, the founders are hands-on, and we move fast.

The role

You turn our marketing into a system. You own the numbers: what we spend, what it returns, what is working, and what we do next. You will live in the ad accounts, run the weekly experiment loop, and own go-to-market and e-commerce strategy across Roon and, in time, the Helios test. This is the analytical engine that sits next to the creative.

It is a building role, not an advising one. You will be expected to make calls and own the results, not write decks about them.

What you'll own

Who you are

We are hiring one exceptional operator, not filling a seat. The bar is simply the best person we can find: a sharp analytical mind that is happy to get its hands dirty. Specifically:

• One to two years at a top strategy firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) or an equally demanding analytical role
• Genuinely strong at quantitative reasoning: you do order-of-magnitude math in your head and you can tell when a number is off
• Fluent in spreadsheets, and able to get to the answer without being handed a template
• Excited about marketing and growth, not analysis for its own sake
• Able to make ads, or at least brief them sharply, and willing to do the work yourself
• An AI-native workflow you use to raise your ceiling rather than lower the bar, with your judgment as the last line of quality. We don't accept analysis that looks rigorous but isn't
• A degree from a strong program; we will look closely at how you actually think

Nice to have

• Direct experience with Meta or TikTok ad managers
• E-commerce or DTC growth experience, Shopify a plus
• SQL or light scripting for your own analysis
• A consumer brand you helped grow, with numbers you can talk about

Who thrives here

The people who do well here are analytical without hiding behind analysis. They are happy to make the ad, not just grade it, and they would rather ship a decision today than model it for a week. They get more done than seems possible and take the results personally, owning the outcome rather than writing decks about it. They are honest about what the data says, especially when it is bad news, and they want to own the whole growth engine. They run hot and move fast, and they expect the early years of something this ambitious to ask a great deal of them.

Why this role

You would own growth for a consumer company from close to zero, working directly with the founders, with the budget and the freedom to find what works. Your compensation includes meaningful equity, so you build this as an owner with a real stake in what it becomes. If you have ever wondered whether you could build the thing instead of advising on it, this is the role.
