Chief Growth Officer

Job Description

About Bobbie

Bobbie is creating a parenting culture of confidence, not comparison. And it starts with how we choose to feed our babies. We crafted our European style infant formula with purposefully sourced, organic ingredients to give parents a product they are proud to feed their babies, direct to their doorstep. Bobbie is proud to be the only US formula that is designed to meet both FDA and EU standards.

Although 83% of parents turn to formula in the first year of their baby’s life, this is the silent majority that is often shamed for not being able to exclusively breastfeed. Co-founded by two moms and created by a team of mom scientists, nutritionists, pediatricians, and lactation consultants, the Bobbie team knows first hand that there is no one size fits all for feeding. With Bobbie, we hope you can Bottle Boldly.

Position Overview

We are seeking an exceptional Chief Growth Officer to own Bobbie’s core commercial engine. Reporting directly to the CEO, this executive will have end-to-end accountability for our revenue funnel across our two primary channels - Retail Sales and Direct-to-Consumer/E-Commerce - from strategy and planning through execution and performance. The CGO is responsible for driving profitable, scalable growth across our established channels, with deep ownership of the P&L, the customer, and the team that executes against both.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned commercial leader with CPG roots, a track record of scaling food and beverage brands through both retail and digital channels, and the operational rigor to lead a high-performing organization through a significant growth phase.
