Head of Growth Marketing

<p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">About ProductPlan</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Since 2013, ProductPlan has helped more than 100,000 product leaders turn strategy into roadmaps their whole company can rally behind. With our acquisition of Winware.ai, we have fused our platform with AI-native product intelligence that helps teams decide what to build, why it matters, and how to win, before decisions become commitments. We have repositioned as the Product Intelligence Platform; we are reimagining our core roadmap platform to be the industry’s first communication tool, and we’re launching a net-new AI native product for the AI building era by 12/31/2026. We are backed by growth-equity investors, and we are climbing fast to double our ARR. We want a growth marketer who is ready to take this story to market and rev the growth engine behind it higher.</span><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">The Role</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for a builder, and right now it is a team of one. You will own ProductPlan’s demand engine: the strategy, channels, budget, and pipeline. You will report directly to our CEO, </span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">Steven Cohn, a four-time founder with four exits</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)"> (most recently Winware.ai, and earlier Validately, acquired by UserZoom/UserTesting with other exits to Living Social and Trip Advisor), so you will learn GTM from someone who has built and sold category-defining products, and you will move at his pace. You are walking into a runway following an engagement with an AI GTM advisory team, so you start with clear segmentation, sharp positioning, a new Webflow website built for GEO discovery, completed demand tests, an AI-informed content program, and a clean CRM. Your headline opportunity is the kind that makes a career: </span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">launch a brand-new product into a new category, end to end, and own the demand story behind it.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><br></span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Location: Remote (US); NY area or Denver preferred.</span><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">The Bet We Are Making</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">We believe one exceptional, AI-native operator, armed with agents, a meaningful budget, and a world-class product, can outrun a traditional five-person department. This is the first genuinely AI-native growth role at ProductPlan. You will write the playbook, with AI as your team and a four-time founder as your sounding board, and you will set the standard for how a modern product company grows.</span></p> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">Where You Will Focus</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Great growth comes from focus. Each quarter you will zero in on the two or three bets that move the number, with AI agents and a few trusted freelancers extending your reach so your energy stays on the work that compounds. Your scoreboard is simple and visible: MQL and SQL volume against our ICP, and the pipeline and bookings you create from it.</span></p> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">What You Will Own</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">Pipeline across paid and organic channels</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: paid search (Google), paid and organic LinkedIn, and the highest-ROI bets you uncover and prove out.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">SEO and GEO</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: own organic discovery and make ProductPlan the answer in AI-powered search and LLM results.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">Lifecycle and email</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: nurture, conversion flows, lead scoring and handoff, and reactivation of our existing database.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">Website conversion and CRO</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: landing pages, forms, and on-site experiences that turn visitors into pipeline.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">Events as a demand vehicle</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: pick the rooms our buyers are already in and make ProductPlan impossible to miss.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">The martech and measurement stack</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: HubSpot, Webflow, GA4, and Google Search Console, with attribution you trust.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">A ~$50K/month working budget</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: you decide where it goes, and you move it fast toward what is winning.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">The operating rhythm</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: a weekly CEO-facing pipeline dashboard and a monthly/quarterly planning cadence that keeps everyone focused on what matters most.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">The AI systems that power it all</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: the agents, automations, and internal tools that let one person move like a team.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">The creative to ship</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: design your own assets or direct freelancers and AI tools to get campaigns live fast.</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><br></span></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">How You Will Operate (AI-Native)</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">You already work like the growth architects who will define this era: mapping strategy to funnel stages, enriching audiences with data, and orchestrating AI agents to extend what a small team can do. You build your own tooling, automating signal detection, enriching account lists, personalizing outreach at scale, and creating internal tools that compound your leverage. You are signal-driven, AI-native, and full-funnel, and you are genuinely curious about where Directors and VPs of Product spend their time: the communities, events, and newsletters where they actually pay attention.</span></p> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">About You</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">5 to 7 years</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)"> in demand generation, growth, or GTM at a </span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">B2B SaaS</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)"> company. </span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-style: italic">(Required)</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">You are a builder</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">: you create your own AI tooling and automations, and you will walk us through what you have built in the interview. </span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-style: italic">(Required)</span></span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">A scrappy in-house operator at heart, energized by owning the whole funnel and multiplying yourself with AI.</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Breadth across the growth stack with meaningful depth in at least one: paid acquisition, SEO/GEO, lifecycle/email, or CRO.</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">A track record of owning pipeline and running multi-channel campaigns you can speak to in detail: what you ran, what worked, and what you learned.</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Strong marketing-ops and analytics fundamentals: tracking, attribution, and funnel performance with expertise operating marketing automation systems, and an ongoing desire to learn and apply new methods.</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">High agency and strong taste, energized by autonomy, urgency, and ownership of the outcome.</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or related field.</span></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">Bonus Points</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Experience selling to product and engineering personas; experience identifying and curating community engagement with developers.</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Exposure to a GTM repositioning (new narrative, new ICP focus, new channel motion) tied to measurable pipeline.</span></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">How We Will Measure Success</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-weight: bold">MQL and SQL volume against ICP</span><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67)">  (your primary scoreboard)</span></span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Pipeline created by marketing ($)</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">CAC payback period</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">Pipeline-to-spend ratio</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">MQL to deal rate on ICP contacts</span></li> <li><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">GEO citation rate in LLM outputs</span></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold">Why This Role Matters</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt">In a category long defined by static roadmapping tools and familiar names like Aha!, Productboard, and Jira, ProductPlan is building the tools of the future for how product planning, prioritization, and building is done, and you will sit right at the center of that move.
