About Epic Tales

At Epic Tales we create personalized stories that draw families closer and spark every child's lifelong love of reading. Each book is printed-to-order with the child as the hero—turning story-time into a daily bonding ritual and igniting a passion for books that lasts for life. Our next chapter is bold: scale from $1 M to $3 M+ in annual revenue while doubling re-order rates and maintaining a premium, keepsake-quality experience.

The Mission for this Role

As Director of Growth & E-commerce you will own the company's primary success metric—new customers acquired profitably—and orchestrate every lever that drives it. You will be both strategic leader and sleeves-rolled-up operator, managing our paid-media, CRO, email and tech specialists while personally diving into campaign builds, creative testing, and analytics whenever needed. Your mission: take our proven product, refine its message, and scale it to the first $20M.

How You'll Fit With The Team

• Report directly to the two founders (Tech + Product Marketing)
• Lead a pod that already includes a Junior Media Buyer, senior CRO specialist, Klaviyo email marketer, and dev resources
• Get hands on with the channel scaling and testing of messaging and positioning.
• Full autonomy to hire, promote, or part ways with team members and agencies; budget authority across media, creative, tech, and tooling
• Collaborate with the founders on product roadmap and brand guidelines—once those guidelines are set, you can run tests without additional approvals
  
  

Key Responsibilities

• Systematise creative & messaging — build a rapid-testing pipeline that refines hooks around bonding-ritual + learning value
• Own the growth P&L — hit revenue and LTV:CAC targets; forecast and manage paid-media budgets
• Scale acquisition channels — Scale paid spend across Meta, AppLovin, TikTok, Google, and emerging platforms at profitable ROAS
• Prioritising Meta
• Drive lifecycle revenue — optimise flows and campaigns in Klaviyo; deploy segmentation that lifts LTV
• Level-up the team — set OKRs, mentor, and, when necessary, recruit or replace talent to keep velocity high
  
  

Report with clarity — maintain live dashboards; present weekly cohort and unit-economics insights to founders.

How We Work

• Holes-Driven Alchemists — we obsess over the outcome (family bonding & reading joy), not the features AKA we sell the hole, not the drill
• Data beats opinion — every new test is shipped with a metric and kill-criteria
• Default to autonomy — once objectives and guard-rails are clear, you run
• Feedback is fuel — we critique fast, iterate faster, and celebrate wins loudly
