Growth Marketer

Growth Marketer – Ads & Influencer Partnerships (MENA, Remote, Freelance) We're an early-stage startup expanding across the Middle East, looking for a scrappy growth marketer who can drive real user acquisition through paid ads and social/influencer partnerships. This isn't a big-budget "set it and forget it" role - we want someone who can move fast, test cheap, and find what actually converts. What you'll do: - Plan and run paid social ad campaigns (Meta, TikTok, etc.) targeting Middle East audiences - Build ad creative using Figma and existing templates - fast iteration over custom design - Identify and negotiate partnerships with relevant social media pages, community accounts, and micro/mid-tier influencers across the region - Test acquisition channels quickly, kill what doesn't work, double down on what does - Report back on what's actually driving signups and installs, not just impressions What we're looking for: - Fluent in Arabic (spoken and written) - you'll be reaching out to and negotiating with regional pages and influencers directly - Proven experience running paid social campaigns and influencer/partnership deals, ideally for a startup, app, or fintech/crypto product - Comfortable in Figma - able to take a template and turn it into a polished ad in minutes - Strong sense of what resonates with Middle East audiences online - Data-literate - you track CAC and real conversion, not just reach or likes - Can work remotely, no specific country required, but based somewhere in or with deep familiarity of the region Engagement: - Freelance / independent contractor - Remote If you've grown a product's user base through smart paid social and influencer plays rather than big ad spend, we want to hear from you. --- Just copy the text above directly (not from the file) — that should keep the hyphens intact when you paste into Upwork's editor.
