Why We’re Hiring For This Role

Float is the leading resource management tool for 4,500+ teams—and rated #1 on G2 for popularity and customer satisfaction.

Our fastest-growing customer segment is mid-market teams of 101 to 1,000 people. We’re one of the few purpose-built solutions in our category that offers a click-to-trial product—making us the ideal choice to effectively serve growing teams within organizations.

Our mission over the next 12 months is to build the largest cheer squad of people planners, and we’re hiring a Senior Growth Marketer to help us get there.

You thrive on experimentation and trying new-user acquisition strategies beyond traditional paid marketing—and you’re confident with building the frameworks for this. You’re a champion of results and learnings, not vanity metrics.

You’ll report to our Director of Marketing, Siobhan, work directly with our Senior Content Strategist, Fio, and our Senior Product Marketer, David. You 'll also partner and consult often with our Senior Data Scientist, Colin.

Until now, our Director of Marketing has managed our paid marketing. It’s an opportune time for an expert like you to take the reins and spearhead the strategic delivery of our 7-figure annual acquisition budget. We’ve also got a growing 130K email database of prospects, trials, and customers for you to experiment with—and fantastic product and content marketing peers who are ready to collaborate!

As the first Senior Growth Marketer to join our team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to establish and drive the growth function of our marketing department.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

As our Senior Growth Marketer, you’ll take ownership of our performance marketing budget and be responsible for driving new quality lead* growth.

*Quality lead is defined as a trial user with a real work email address… because we ain’t interested in superficial numbers. 😉

Once you’re a bit more settled, we would expect that you jump into the following projects:

• Work with the Senior Product Marketer on GTM product marketing campaigns that generate market demand for Float
• Seek new lead growth opportunities across marketing, product, and sales, and champion commercial opportunities into team decision making
• Collaborate with the product team and Senior Product Marketer to increase new trial user activations
• Partner with our Senior Data Scientist, Colin to manage our paid acquisition tech stack, including determining how paid marketing activity is measured over time and using data to uncover new growth opportunities.
• Develop an account-based marketing strategy for new customer growth and expansion

• Hands-on experience in creating and managing paid media campaigns across social media and digital channels.
• Experience with audience and lifecycle marketing, including working with customer data platforms, email and CRM software.
