Growth Marketing Manager, Upper Funnel
About The Position
At Verkada, we're known to push traditional boundaries, and our B2B growth efforts are no exception. We’re reinventing Growth here. As a Growth Marketing Manager: Upper Funnel, you’ll be part of a high-performing team with backgrounds spanning investment banking, consulting, marketing, and high-growth startups. In this role, you’ll own Verkada’s top-of-funnel campaigns and how we measure them. You’ll answer three questions again and again: What should we run? Who should we run it to? And what did we learn, so we can do it again? You’ll test channels most B2B companies never try, from CTV to audio to billboards, and build the measurement to prove what works. This is a highly visible, high-autonomy role that offers the opportunity to directly shape how the market sees Verkada. We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires that you be on-site at our HQ in San Mateo, CA 5 days a week (with flexible hours).
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in growth marketing, performance marketing, paid media, marketing science, a startup or equivalent.
- Hands-on experience buying media, and the confidence to make decisions about spending real money.
- You have designed and read at least one incrementality test yourself, such as a geo-lift, matched-market, or holdout test.
- A strong point of view on creative and story: you can explain why a campaign was good, what helped it, and what hurt it.
