Grow Progress
Growth Marketing Manager
Grow Progress, Washington, DC
Grow Progress is looking for a Growth Marketing Manager to optimize demand generation programs and events that increase brand awareness. This is an exciting opportunity to fuel revenue growth at Grow Progress.
We are a quickly growing team of more than 50 people who are passionate about giving strategists the tools to persuade more people. We power breakthroughs in persuasion by helping strategists to more deeply understand the people they're aiming to move - not just how they look, but how they think. We then give strategists the ability to scientifically test their messages at a radically accessible cost, so they have the freedom to test more creative strategies.
If you want to make a big social impact and grow your skill set by working with a dedicated team who is building new products backed by cutting-edge theories and technology in behavioral psychology, we hope you'll apply.
Who We Are
Grow Progress's mission is to make our clients better at persuasion so that they can run more effective campaigns, causes, and companies that make the world a better place. For this, we've built powerful software that offers our customers unprecedented access to run scientific message tests quickly and affordably, so they can unlock the most effective messages. We currently work with many of the biggest Democratic pollsters, marketing agencies, advocacy groups, campaigns and labor unions in the country.
We give our customers the power to persuade more people by tailoring their messages to match each audience member's values. We help customers harness the latest persuasion science to create messaging that's typically 200% to 500% more effective than their existing ads. We do this by predicting which personality traits and values are most important to each individual.
We're a team of experienced campaigners, software engineers, and data scientists who are obsessed with harnessing the power of evidence to make social good advocates more effective. We're motivated, efficient, low-ego, and we like to make each other laugh.
About the Position
As the Growth Marketing Manager, you'll be responsible for developing, implementing, and optimizing demand generation programs and events that increase brand awareness, drive qualified leads, and ultimately fuel revenue growth. You'll play a key role in identifying target audiences, creating high-impact campaigns, coordinating events & conferences, and measuring effectiveness to drive insights and continuous improvement.
