Job Summary

Own growth marketing strategy end to end by shaping creative, targeting audiences, testing channels, and driving measurement to inform budget decisions.

  • Lead end-to-end growth campaigns from concept to insights
  • Own testing, attribution, and budget decisions across channels
  • Turn results into plans and cross-team learnings

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Creative & Story: Decide what we run. Think critically about ads, messages, and formats, and what works best on each platform. Partner with our creative team to turn Verkada’s story into campaigns that people remember.
  • Audience Strategy: Decide who is worth spending money on. Build ICP and account-list targeting, and choose the right channel mix to reach them.
  • Channel & Vendor Testing: Continuously test new channels, inventory, and vendors across CTV, YouTube, LinkedIn, audio, and out-of-home to find the best targeting at the best cost.
  • Measurement & Incrementality: Design and read geo-lift tests, holdouts, and conversion lift studies. Devise ways to measure impact from channels that are hard to attribute, like billboards and audio. Own key metrics like website visitors.
  • Budget Ownership: Make real spend decisions and move budget toward what works, based on evidence.
  • Learning Loop & Insights: Keep a clear record of what we tested and what we learned. Turn results into the next plan and share insights with leadership and across teams.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience buying media, and the confidence to make decisions about spending real money.
  • A clear answer to the question, “How did you know it worked?” You have designed and read at least one incrementality test yourself, such as a geo-lift, matched-market, or holdout test.
  • A strong point of view on creative and story: you can explain why a campaign was good, what helped it, and what hurt it.
  • Proficiency in data analysis. Knowledge of SQL and Excel preferred.

  • Experience with CTV, out-of-home, audio, or account-based marketing (ABM) campaigns is a plus.
