[Hiring] Head of Growth Marketing @Automattic Careers ID-8431

589 million blogs. 8 million posts a day. And 17 years spent building an alternative to the status quo. Part social network, part blogging platform, pure creativity: this is Tumblr. We’re proud to be one of the few places where internet creators can build their homes, share their work, and connect with their audiences through what they love—not who they know.

Our mission: to advance the world’s subcultures that make the internet more inclusive, interesting, and weird. Under Automattic, we’ve got the curiosity and energy to shape and scale our platform with tomorrow's creators of all types in mind.

Are you a Growth Marketer looking for that rare opportunity to join an early stage culture—with a decade-proof brand? Then give us a 👀. Let’s make the internet fun again!

We’re looking for a motivated and analytical Growth Marketing lead to join our team. This role will focus on developing and implementing strategies to drive user acquisition, engagement, and retention. We want this candidate to have deep technical marketing knowledge, and understand how to diagnose and execute mechanics that drive growth. This is a new role joining a small team of creative and editorial content marketers. As head of Growth Marketing, you will need to act as both the team lead and an individual contributor to maximize impact as follows:

Responsibilities

  • Develop, test, and iterate on growth marketing strategies to drive new users and increase engagement
  • Create and validate data-informed user segmentation and targeting strategies
  • Own and execute on your ideas—from crafting messaging to building and optimizing campaigns across various channels
  • Measure and track user behaviors using a variety of tools, providing detailed reporting on the impact of your growth marketing efforts
  • Drive measurable impact in conversion, sign-up, and retention rates through funnel optimization, A/B testing, and experimentation
  • Partner with other Marketing, Product, Design, and Data teams to understand our users, our product, and the best ways to optimize the user journey
  • Use your project management skills to lead development roadmaps, testing, and/or experimentation of new growth features and integrations
  • Cultivate a spirit of fun and growth amongst your peers across teams
  • Work with agencies to bolster our capabilities, and nurture those relationships to get maximum impact
  • Lead and grow the marketing team, for the Tumblr we have today, and the place we intend to get to.

So tell us a little about yourself and answer a couple of questions—it’s your golden ticket to being considered. Proofread, please (we like grammar, and you should, too). Make sure you spell and capitalize our mom and dad companies properly.
