Overview of the Role
We’re on a mission to modernize insurance – making it simpler, more accessible, and customer-first. The insurance industry is a $1T market that’s remained largely untouched by the digital revolution, and PolicyMe is here to change that. As a remote-first, Toronto-based startup with big ambitions, we’re looking for a Growth Strategist to help us build the future of insurance in Canada – and beyond.
In this role, you’ll partner closely with our Director of Growth, to accelerate how we acquire customers across multiple channels. You’ll combine data-driven problem solving, creative strategy, and an entrepreneurial mindset to identify growth opportunities, run experiments, and scale what works. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, learns fast, and wants to play a central role in shaping a fast-growing business.
What you'll be doing:
- Analyzing channel performance (Google, Facebook, and others) using Looker and other tools to ensure CAC and CPA thresholds are met.
- Owning day-to-day paid media operations while developing the ability to uncover new growth levers.
- Driving creative strategy: writing briefs, partnering with video editors and designers, and scaling output.
- Building, testing, and adopting AI-powered workflows to automate parts of the growth engine.
- Collaborating across teams to share insights that improve product, funnel, and conversion performance.
- Supporting new go-to-market initiatives, including upcoming launches in home and auto insurance.
- Acting as a generalist problem-solver — proactively identifying bottlenecks and tackling ambiguous challenges across the growth team.
What we're looking for:
- 2–3 years of experience in consulting, banking, strategy/ops, CPG, or a growth role at a startup/scale-up.
- Proven ability to use data to solve business problems, identify patterns, and generate insights (Excel, pivot tables, or visualization tools).
- Exposure to product marketing or business growth (e.g., go-to-market initiatives, customer insights, or revenue-driving projects).
- Curiosity and drive to experiment with AI tools and apply them to workflows.
- Entrepreneurial mindset — motivated by impact, ownership, and long-term business building.
- Strong work ethic, comfort with ambiguity, and ability to learn quickly.
Nice to have skills:
- Experience executing digital marketing campaigns (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or similar).
- Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau).
- Startup or scale-up experience, especially in growth or marketing roles.
- Strong product sense and commercial awareness of how growth levers connect to business outcomes.
- Ability to adapt quickly as channels, tools, and company priorities evolve.
Why join us:
- Generous PTO - 20 vacation days
- Access to stock options and a comprehensive benefits plan
- A remote-first team with company paid, in-person socials and the option to work from our Toronto-based office
- Resources to help your professional development, including an L&D budget, performance reviews twice a year and ongoing feedback to ensure you reach your highest potential
- Work with an empathetic, high-performing team in a flexible, results-oriented environment
