Head of Growth & User Acquisition

Summary

Gym Class VR is the top rated game on Meta Quest VR, the most played sports game in virtual reality, and a popular social gaming experience. It’s a unique combo of social and sports that’s connected millions of players together to hang out or compete.

As Head of Growth, you’ll ship experiments to drive measurable downloads and reactivation. This role is not about reapplying playbooks used at big companies.

At Gym Class you’ll apply your process with the support of [i] a top-notch internal content creation and community squad (which you’ll lead), [ii] a high velocity product development team shipping features each week, [iii] an engaged playerbase and content creator community, and [iv] successful growth channels already up and running (eg - creator program, community programs, paid marketing, and more).

The company is backed by top technology and sports investors, including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Y Combinator, National Basketball Association (NBA), the Golden State Warriors, and top player-investors like Kevin Durant, Danny Green, Zaza Pachulia, Andre Iguodala, and Lonzo Ball.

Join Gym Class if you’d like to ship and move fast, work with a top notch team and hungry community, and grow in the large and the fast-paced social gaming market.
