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.

- 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.

- Highly data-driven; advanced comfort in ad platforms and analytics tools (GA, BI, CRM reporting).
