Growth Marketing Manager
About The Position
Textio is bringing a new product to market and we are seeking a high-agency Growth Marketer with product-led growth experience to help us ensure the right people discover the product, try it, get value fast, and stick around. In this role, you‘ll partner with the VP of marketing to develop and implement creative marketing strategies that drive user acquisition, engagement, and retention. This role is meant for someone who likes being close to the product, doesn’t need perfect data to get started, can drive projects autonomously, and gets energy from turning ambiguity into clear next steps. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. You will be required to meet in person 1-3 days per week. If this sounds like your dream role, we’d love to hear from you! Why you’ll love working here You’ll help define the PLG growth motion from the ground up You’ll be close to the product and real customer behavior You’ll have ownership, autonomy, and a real voice in strategy You’ll work with a small, thoughtful team that enjoys fast-paced execution What's special about this role? This is a foundational growth role at a pivotal moment. You’re joining just as we’re launching the product out of beta and shifting into a product-led growth model. There’s no pre-baked playbook, no inherited dashboards, and no “just run these campaigns” mandate. You’ll help decide what growth looks like—then build the systems to make it real. You’ll work at the intersection of product, marketing, and data, shaping how people discover the product, experience value, and decide to pay. The work you do in the first 3-6 months will directly influence product direction, messaging, and how the company scales. This role is special because: You’re not optimizing an engine—you’re building it You’ll be driving customer behavior and conversations Your experiments will shape product decisions, not just marketing tactics You’ll have real ownership, autonomy, and a voice in strategy What you learn will compound into systems the company uses for years If you’re excited by ambiguity, fast learning cycles, and turning raw signals into momentum, this role will feel energizing. Why does this role exist? This role exists to help us deeply understand how people discover the product, what makes them activate, and why they decide to pay—and then design experiments that improve those moments. This role bridges product and marketing, ensuring growth is informed by real usage, not assumptions. What unique experiences will the candidate have? This is not a “slot into the org chart” role. The person in this role will: Work with a recently launched product and help define its first real growth motion Build a PLG engine from scratch, including channels, experiments, and metrics Work directly with product and engineering to influence onboarding, activation, and monetization See the full arc of growth, from first click to product usage to paid conversion Test, learn, and iterate fast, with direct visibility into what’s working and what’s not Shape how the company thinks about growth, not just how it executes it They’ll leave this role having done something rare: turned an early-stage product into a system that reliably attracts, activates, and converts the right users.
