Head of Growth

EmailOctopus is a simple, intuitive and affordable email marketing platform. We’re a small company making a big impact — with a growing customer base around the world, we’ve gone from strength to strength over the past seven years. Some of our current clients include Jaguar Land Rover, Universal Music, Bear Grylls, WaterAid and NPR.

Up to this point we’ve grown our bootstrapped business organically. Now, we’re looking for a skilled and passionate Head of Growth to help us scale even more quickly and strategically.

The role

We strongly believe there’s huge potential to expand our business; the market is growing and we’ve been on a steady, solid growth trajectory since we launched. You’ll be helping us realise this potential by:

• Working closely with the CEO and COO to develop and execute strategies for growth, retention and to maximise lifetime value.
• Using data analytics and market research to identify growth opportunities.
• Keeping a close eye on industry trends, upcoming technologies, and the competitive landscape to spot fresh avenues for growth and stay ahead of the curve.
• Working with the rest of the team and freelancers/agencies to implement your plans.

Key requirements

We’re looking for someone with:

• 5+ years in a growth marketing, digital marketing or a related role. Experience in SaaS and/or email marketing is preferred, but not required.
• A strong understanding of growth marketing strategies, techniques, and best practices.
• Proven experience in performance marketing channels such as SEM, paid social, display advertising, and email marketing.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret data to make marketing decisions.
• A passion for experimenting with creative and innovative marketing approaches.
• The skills to communicate clearly, concisely and persuasively.
• The ability to work with a high degree of self-motivation and limited supervision. We’re a small company, and all team members work with a high degree of autonomy.
• Permission to work in the UK and able to spend at least two days a week in our London office.

Our benefits

• Work with a small, close-knit team spread across the UK and Europe.
• Competitive salary based on experience, including a structured bonus scheme that’s worth up to 15% of annual salary.
• Flexible working and a generous budget for any equipment you need to do your job well.
• A commitment to supporting your professional development, including a personal learning budget of £1,000 a year.
• A wellness allowance of £50 a month (for things like a gym membership, yoga or massages).
• Enhanced parental leave.
• A sociable and supportive culture, with regular away days and socials.
