Job description

We're looking for a Growth Marketing Manager (SEM and CRO) to own and scale our performance marketing engine across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, pay-per-click review platforms (e.g., Capterra, Technology Advice), and high-intent organic search. You'll be responsible for driving efficient, scalable growth across the full funnel---owning strategy, execution, and optimization for both paid and organic channels, with a strong experimentation mindset focused on improving conversion across key landing pages and the website.

This role is ideal for a data-driven marketer who is equally comfortable in keyword strategy, bid management, targeting, on-site conversion rate optimization (CRO), creative testing, and experiment design---and who can translate insights into clear stories and recommendations for marketing, cross-functional partners, and leadership.

  • Run A/B and multivariate tests using appropriate tools; ensure clean setup, measurement, and statistical rigor.
  • Partner with content, design, and web to implement winning variations and scale learnings.
  • Own and improve session → lead CVR across high-intent pages (demo, product pages, core content).

AI, Automation & Tooling

  • Use AI and automation to accelerate keyword research, ad copy/creative ideation, QA, and analysis.
  • Leverage tools like Claude to pull insights from CRM, ad platforms, and internal docs to refine copy, reporting, and reduce manual ops work.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Communication

  • Partner with Product Marketing, Content, Brand, RevOps, and Sales to ensure lead quality, routing, and follow-up processes support performance goals.
  • Turn performance and experiment results into clear, concise recommendations for the marketing team, cross functional partners, and leadership.

  • Hands-on management of Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and review platforms.

  • Meaningful experience designing, running, and interpreting experiments (A/B tests, structured trials).
  • Highly data-driven; advanced comfort in ad platforms and analytics tools (GA, BI, CRM reporting).
  • Experience in B2B SaaS or complex, high-ACV sales cycles.
