The Role

We are looking for a strategic and results-driven Director of Growth Marketing to lead our new business growth strategy through data-driven, multi-channel marketing campaigns. In this role, you will create a comprehensive growth marketing strategy, with a focus on measurable performance through the execution and development of growth loops. You’ll experiment aggressively, optimize relentlessly, and operate at the intersection of product, marketing, and data—crafting the playbook that turns curiosity into clicks, and clicks into committed users. In addition to executing the findings, you will also be responsible for presenting these findings, and identifying opportunities for scaling successful initiatives.

The Director of Growth Marketing will play a critical role in driving growth for GitKraken’s product-led engine. You will develop and execute strategies to generate leads, nurture prospects, and optimize conversion across the entire customer acquisition funnel.

We are committed to having an inclusive and authentic work environment where unique perspectives, skills, and backgrounds are celebrated. We work hard to foster diversity in our workplace and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. Even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements, don't let self-filtering and imposter syndrome get in the way of a great fit. We would love to hear from you!

Drive technical efforts to build a robust data and reporting infrastructure to enable high-velocity testing and optimization.
Build and optimize email automation workflows in HubSpot.

What you’ll bring

Experience in a demand generation leadership role at a product-led growth (PLG) company.
Proven experience in creating and executing demand generation strategies that significantly drive awareness, pipeline growth, and revenue.

Excellent storytelling, copywriting, and UX instincts—especially in the context of onboarding and in-product messaging.
Comfort with ambiguity, speed, and shifting priorities—this is a startup velocity environment.
