• Optimise digital marketing (Google, Meta, local DSPs), offline channels (flyers, school tie-ups, parent referrals) and measure ROI.

• Build dashboards and report to senior leadership on growth metrics: CAC (cost-to-acquire a student), Lifetime value (LTV), retention rates, neighbourhood profitability.
• Own local market intelligence: understand parent behaviours, competitor landscape (other kids’ activity providers), pricing dynamics, and neighbourhood demand.
• Collaborate with the brand & content team to create parent-facing content, community events, and referral drives that reinforce CurioBoat’s child-first, play-based learning positioning.

• Demonstrable track record of scaling channels and driving measurable growth (acquisition + retention) in a hyper-local or region-based business.
• Experience working with both digital and offline channels (given CurioBoat’s neighborhood/physical centre nature).
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and ability to operate cross-functionally (marketing, operations, product, partnerships).
