VP Growth, North America - Denver, CO

This is the biggest growth story at Macs Adventure - and you'd be the one writing it!

North America is already our largest market and our single biggest opportunity on the way to 2030. We've built strong foundations, and now we're looking for an exceptional VP Growth, North America to accelerate what comes next.

Take this role and you won't just manage a market, you'll take its growth to the next level: own the P&L and the full growth funnel across trading, Sales, Marketing and Merchandising, driving the commercial decisions that allow us to create more #Macsmoments for more customers than ever before.

You'll report to Rebecca Moore, COO, sit at the leadership table, and have the freedom and accountability to take our biggest market through its next phase of growth - while helping shape where Macs Adventure goes next.

What you'll do;

  • Own the North American P&L, delivering revenue, customer growth and contribution margin against plan.


  • Lead the North American growth strategy, bringing Performance and Brand Marketing, Sales and Merchandising together to drive sustainable, profitable growth.


  • Own the end-to-end growth funnel, from customer acquisition and brand awareness through to conversion, repeat business and customer lifetime value.


  • Shape our commercial proposition, ensuring we have the right products, pricing, promotions, channels and partnerships to win in North America.


  • Build the Macs Adventure brand in North America, growing awareness, reach and our presence in the market.


  • Lead a high-performing team across Performance and Brand Marketing, Sales and Merchandising, with the capability and leadership needed to scale.


  • Play a key role in the wider leadership of Macs Adventure as part of the leadership team, contributing to group-wide commercial decisions and priorities.


What you'll bring;

  • Significant senior leadership experience in commercial, growth or general management, with a proven track record of delivering revenue and margin growth.


  • A proven track record of owning and growing a consumer P&L in North America, delivering sustained revenue and margin growth - ideally within travel, outdoor, e-commerce or a comparable consumer business.


  • Experience in taking a successful business or market through its next phase of growth, including periods of rapid growth and organisational change.


  • Proven full-funnel commercial experience, combining performance marketing expertise with sales leadership and an understanding of how brand drives growth.


  • Sound commercial judgement, with experience using pricing, promotions and yield management to drive revenue and margin.


  • Experience working successfully across regional and central teams, collaborating with peers and getting things done across organisational boundaries.


  • A track record of building high-performing teams and developing capable leaders, creating clear accountability without becoming the person every decision depends on.


  • A data-led, AI-forward mindset, always looking for smarter ways to understand customers, improve performance and accelerate growth.


  • Based in Denver, or willing to relocate, and comfortable working with us in the office three days a week.


Not essential, it would be a bonus if you;

  • Bring experience in the outdoor, adventure or active travel sector, with a genuine understanding of the customer and the market.


  • Have experience operating as part of a senior leadership team in an international business, balancing the needs of your market with the priorities of the wider organisation.


  • Are comfortable working as a US-based leader within a global team, building close relationships with UK-based colleagues and working effectively across time zones.
