AI Growth Manager, Full-Stack Customer Acquisition

Last time we posted this role, 30+ marketers applied. Only one had the AI-builder chops we needed. Her gap? She didn't know horses. We're looking for the unicorn: an equestrian who builds with AI and owns the growth reputed company. We Define Who We Become. At Schneiders Saddlery, that's not a tagline -- it's how we operate. We're a 75-year family-owned equestrian brand positioned to dominate the digital transformation of a $12B market. We need a Growth Manager who lives in three worlds: horses, AI, and growth marketing. Why Equestrian Background is Required (Not Bonus): You know why a horse reputed company researches a blanket for three weeks before buying. You understand that "cheap tack" isn't a value proposition -- it's a liability. You feel the seasonal rhythms: winter blanket prep starts in August, show season drives boot sales in March, and fly spray demand spikes before you'd expect. That intuition can't be taught. It's the difference between a generic DTC marketer and someone who speaks our customers' language authentically. We're horse people helping horse people. We're In It With You means something here.
