Growth Marketing Manager

Growth Marketing Manager

Storyteller Overland is seeking a Growth Marketing Manager who owns the full demand generation funnel—from first impression to qualified dealer lead—and operates with the mindset of an owner, not a task executor. You'll build campaigns, manage media, analyzeperformance, optimize conversion paths, and continuously improve results through rapid testing and execution.

This is a highly autonomous, execution-focused role. You instinctively know how to identify opportunities, reach the right audiences, create high-converting experiences, and measure success. AI should already be a core part of your daily workflow, enabling you to move faster, generate better ideas, analyze data more effectively, and drive measurable business growth.

General Responsibilities, including but not limited to:

• Build and own the full-funnel paid media strategy across Meta, Google, YouTube, and emerging channels,
• Develop campaign briefs, audience segmentation frameworks, and testing roadmaps,
• Partner with the CMO on quarterly planning, budget allocation, and performance goals,
• Identify gaps in the funnel and proactively build solutions — don't wait to be asked,
• Own day-to-day execution in Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads — hands on keyboard,
• Manage and optimize media spend to hit cost-per-lead and ROAS targets,
• Build, launch, and iterate on paid campaigns — from awareness through retargeting,
• Manage or oversee agency relationships; hold partners accountable to performance,
• Use AI to generate and iterate on ad copy, landing page headlines, and email subject lines at scale,
• Brief creative assets for the design and video teams with specificity and strategic intent,
• Ensure all performance creative is consistent with the STO brand voice,
• Own A/B testing across copy, creative, audience, and offer — document what you learn,
• Build and own a performance dashboard that maps spend, traffic, MQLs, and SQLs across channels,
• Report weekly on performance to the CMO — insights, not just metrics,
• Segment audiences by intent signal; treat high-intent retargeting differently from cold traffic,
• Surface patterns in the data and turn them into decisions quickly,
• Drive qualified leads for the STO dealer network — this is the primary north star metric,
• Optimize "Find a Dealer" paths and lead forms for conversion and quality,
• Build offer-driven campaigns (rebates, events, model launches) that create urgency for in-market buyers,
• Work with internal sales and dealers to understand lead quality feedback and adjust targeting accordingly,
• Contribute to the overall success of the Storyteller Galaxy by co-elevating with all team members through collaboration, cooperation, and camaraderie,
• Contribute to other initiatives and responsibilities as needed to support business priorities and team success.
