Growth Marketing Manager - Paid Channels

Found • San Francisco, CA

1d • $145,000 - $185,000 • Onsite

About The Position

As our Growth Marketing Manager for Paid Channels, you will own the strategy and day-to-day execution of Found's paid acquisition engine. This isn't a "set it and schedule it" role — you'll be the person who sees the data, forms a hypothesis, tests it, and knows what to do next. Your mission is to ensure every dollar we spend brings in the right customer: the self-employed owner who will activate, engage, and grow with Found.
You'll manage across all paid media — Search, Social, Display, CTV, Affiliate, and emerging channels — and work closely with creative, product marketing, and data to build a paid program that's both efficient and brand-aligned.
This is an in person role requiring candidates to be currently located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Found is unable to assist with relocation at this time.

Requirements

• 4–6+ years in performance marketing, with hands-on experience managing paid campaigns across at least three channels (Search, Social, and one other).
• Managed meaningful spend on Google Ads and Meta. You understand bidding mechanics, algorithm behavior, and how to structure campaigns for learning and scale.
• Comfortable pulling your own data, identifying what matters, and building the case for what to do next. Proficiency in Google Analytics, Looker, or a comparable BI tool required.
• Understand attribution models, incrementality testing, and the limitations of last-click data.
• Self-Starter: Found is a fast-moving team. You should be someone who flags the problem and brings the solution.

Nice To Haves

• Creative Intuition: You don't just read the numbers — you understand why one ad outperforms another and can brief creative accordingly. Experience collaborating with a creative team is a plus.
• Worked with or built MMM or geo-lift frameworks is a plus.
• Fintech or Financial Services Experience: Familiarity with compliance constraints in regulated industries — you know what "UDAAP" means and have worked within guardrails.

Responsibilities

• Own strategy, execution, and optimization across all paid channels: Google/Bing Search, Meta, Reddit, TikTok, CTV/Streaming, Display, and Affiliate.
• Manage budget allocation across channels to hit CPA, CPR, and whale activation targets.
• Build, launch, and iterate on campaigns with a bias toward testing — creative, audience, bidding strategy, landing page, and offer.
• Partner with the creative team to brief, evaluate, and iterate on ad assets; use performance data to guide creative decisions (not just aesthetic ones).
• Lead audience strategy, including prospecting, lookalike, retargeting, and suppression logic across platforms.
• Own paid channel reporting: weekly performance reviews, monthly channel recaps, and ongoing anomaly detection.
• Collaborate with data and analytics to build incrementality measurement frameworks; understand the difference between attributed and causal performance.
• Manage and improve tracking infrastructure in partnership with engineering — UTMs, pixel health, event-level data quality.
• Develop a test-and-learn roadmap; document results and share learnings across the team.
• Partner with product marketing on messaging, landing page strategy, and offer testing.
• Work closely with the Organic Growth and Brand teams to ensure paid and organic strategies complement rather than cannibalize each other.
• Contribute to campaign planning for product launches, seasonal pushes, and new segment expansion.

Benefits

• 401K, FSA, and Commuter Benefits
• 16 weeks of flexible parental leave
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits (100% covered for employees, 90% covered for dependents)
• Meaningful equity
• Generous vacation policy: Vacations, appointments, mental health days
