Head of Growth Marketing – DTC & eCom

Head of Growth
Company Overview

Pearl West is not your typical consumer brand company. We own and operate a growing portfolio of high-performance e-commerce brands with a combined revenue of over $40M—and we’re scaling fast. Think of us as a mini-Unilever meets private equity, but with a startup mindset and a performance-obsessed culture.

With a centralized shared-services model across growth, media, creative, product, and ops, we’re engineered for speed and designed to scale. Our mission? Build unforgettable brands—and exit them at their peak. Our team includes operators from Goli Nutrition and other 9-figure e-commerce successes, backed by a founder with 17+ years in the game.

This is not a politics-first culture—it’s a performance-first culture . We value clarity over chaos , speed over discussion , and results over theater .
