About HeyGen

At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences.

About the Role

We’re scaling fast, and acquisition is the engine. We’re looking for a Head of User Acquisition to own and scale our global user acquisition efforts across paid, organic, and product-led channels.

This is not a channel executor role. You’ll be the strategic owner of our acquisition machine and any new channels worth unlocking. You’ll work closely with engineering, data, and product teams to craft acquisition loops directly into the product experience. You’ll also operate as a senior leader in the growth org, trusted to run with ambiguity and deliver outcomes.

What You’ll Own
  • Channel Strategy & Execution
    Own all acquisition channels — paid, organic, and emerging. Develop the strategy, lead execution, and build systems to scale.
  • Performance Marketing
    Lead paid media across Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, and more. Prioritize creative testing, CAC efficiency, and LTV:CAC optimization.
  • Organic Acquisition
    Drive organic-led growth, affiliates, SEO, and lifecycle programs.
  • Product-Led Growth
    Partner with acquisition engineering and product to build user-facing features that drive acquisition and conversion from within the product.
  • Attribution & Data
    Define measurement frameworks, ensure attribution fidelity, and make high-quality decisions from data, even when it's imperfect.
  • Creative & Messaging Strategy
    Collaborate with brand and content teams to run high-velocity testing across ad creative, landing pages, and messaging frameworks.

You Might Be a Fit If You:

  • Have 5–10+ years of acquisition experience in high-growth startups or tech companies.
  • Have owned both paid and organic channels at scale, with strong creative instincts and media buying chops.
  • Think in systems, loops, and constraints, not just tactics and quick wins.
  • Are product-minded and comfortable working with engineers and PMs on in-product acquisition experiences.
  • Have a strong data spine — you can build dashboards, interpret data, and act on insights without overcomplicating.
  • Move fast, own outcomes, and thrive in a high-autonomy environment with sharp, ambitious teammates.
  • Operate independently and think strategically. This role is designed to replace an exec-level dependency.
  • Have experience in UGC, YouTube automation, or creator/community-led growth.
  • Want ownership, speed, and impact — and know how to operate in ambiguity without slowing down.

Salary Range
$180,000 – $230,000 + Equity + Rewards + Benefits

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
