Company Description Breakwater is a financial technology company that introduces a payment control layer between consumers and their recurring charges. By detecting recurring payments and assigning each one a merchant-locked virtual card, Breakwater enables instant subscription freezes and seamless bank switching without disrupting payments. This approach creates a protective “financial breakwater” between individual bank accounts and the subscription economy, giving users greater control and transparency.

Breakwater is focused on modernizing how consumers manage subscriptions and recurring payments.

Day-to-day responsibilities include designing and running growth campaigns, optimizing conversion funnels, collaborating with product and engineering on growth-focused features, and partnering with marketing and sales to align messaging and go-to-market tactics.

The Head of Growth will analyze performance metrics, develop forecasts, and manage budgets,



while building and mentoring a small cross-functional team to achieve ambitious growth targets. This role is hands-on, requiring both strategic leadership and operational execution to drive sustainable, scalable growth.
