The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive “earned, paid, owned” marketing strategy to lower and scale Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC).

Key Responsibilities
1. Develop and Implement Marketing Strategies:

- Take ownership of the homepage and landing pages, applying Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) principles.
- Continuously test and optimize for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
3. Persona Development and Copywriting:
- Develop buyer personas based on in-depth market research and insights.
- Craft compelling content aligned with these personas, driving engagement and conversions.
4. Lifecycle and Sales Team Collaboration:
- Work closely with the lifecycle and sales teams to ensure seamless mid-funnel handoffs.
- Apply intuition and experience in nurturing leads through the funnel effectively.
5. Management of Demand Generation Contractors:
- Oversee the work of contractors responsible for SEO, content creation, and creative needs.
- Ensure in-house control over SEO and retargeting initiatives.
6. Reporting and Analysis:
- Track performance across all channels and make data-driven decisions to improve strategies.
- Provide regular reports to stakeholders on campaign performance and ROI.
Qualifications:
- Proven experience in performance marketing, specifically in lowering and scaling CAC.
- Personal mastery in paid search and thorough experience in two other channels (including one alternative, non-standard channel).
- Strong experience in managing websites and landing pages from a CRO perspective.
- Excellent copywriting skills and ability to create detailed buyer personas.
- Experience working in tandem with lifecycle and sales teams.
- Ability to manage and coordinate with external contractors effectively.
