eCommerce Growth Marketer (Direct-Response Funnels), Remote Job
Direct-Response CRO / Funnel Architect (APE BORN)
High-Output Role • Massive Upside • No Ceiling
Location: Remote
WHO WE ARE
APE BORN is a performance-driven fitness gear brand scaling aggressively into broader markets.
Our culture is built on:
• Extreme ownership
• Data over ego
• Speed of execution
• Candor & high standards
• Solving root problems
If you love building, testing, iterating, and winning — you’ll fit right in.
THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Direct-Response CRO / Funnel Architect who can build, optimize, and scale funnels that acquire customers efficiently at volume.
This is a builder role.
You create funnels, copy, research, testing structures — fast.
This role is NOT:
❌ UI/UX
❌ branding or aesthetic polishing
❌ “just changing CTA colors”
This IS:
High-volume funnel production
Direct-response copywriting
Deep research & angle identification
Creative-team alignment
Market expansion
Test → learn → iterate cycles at speed
WHAT YOU WILL DO (REAL RESPONSIBILITIES)
1. Build Funnels — Lots of Them
• Multiple funnels per week
• Variants built for broad-market testing
• New funnels for new angles & new audiences
• Fast shipping + fast iteration
• Mobile-first, conversion-first builds
2. Research Deeply
• Analyze competitors in fitness gear / performance accessories
• Identify new angles for scaling beyond current audience
• Study objections, emotional drivers, category psychology
• Turn research into hypotheses → tests → funnels
3. Align With Creative Team
• Build funnels that match messaging from ads
• Help strategist develop new angles based on funnel learnings
• Ensure creative → funnel → offer alignment
• Bring data back into the creative loop
4. Write Direct-Response Copy
• Headlines, subheads, bullets, long-form structures
• Landing pages for cold traffic, warm retargeting, and broad audiences
• Hooks and mechanisms rooted in research
• Strong intros, benefits, fear removers, objections smashed
5. Own Funnel Performance Through Outputs
You’re measured by:
• Funnels built
• Tests shipped
• Wins created
• Efficiency protected
Not by time, meetings, or micromanagement.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR (REAL A-PLAYER REQUIREMENTS)
You MUST have:
• Direct-response funnel experience (not theory — produced outputs)
• Portfolio with live URLs of funnels you built
• Actual performance metrics from your previous work
• Ability to write persuasive copy
• Experience testing at volume
• Understanding of cold traffic psychology
• Research discipline to find exploitable angles
• Independent execution
• Comfort operating fast & adjusting quickly
If you’ve only done branding, UX, or slow-cycle CRO — this is not for you.
COMPENSATION
Comp is based on:
• Your experience
• Your proven execution ability
• Your level of ownership in scaling us
The stronger you perform, the more ownership you earn — and the more you make.
There is no ceiling for someone who produces meaningful revenue impact.
