Our New Member Marketing team drives profitable growth by attracting and acquiring new members across multiple digital channels. We combine performance marketing, editorial, SEO, email, and analytics to deliver sustainable acquisition while maintaining a strong focus on customer trust and long-term value.
We are focused on measurable outcomes — improving conversion rates, strengthening analytics and tracking foundations, and ensuring marketing investments translate into meaningful business growth.
As a contract Marketing Manager, you will operate as a strategic individual contributor focused on delivering measurable, project-based impact across acquisition, conversion, and lifecycle marketing. This role is outcomes-driven, with clear performance objectives tied to profitable growth and data integrity.

Enhance measurement and tracking infrastructure:
Define marketing tracking requirements in partnership with data and engineering teams across GA4, Google Tag Manager, and Segment.
Validate pixels, tags, and CAPI implementations prior to launch to ensure reliable attribution.
