• Strong track record of developing and launching performance-driven campaigns - at StockStory we prefer profitable over pretty

• A data-driven mindset - able to track, measure, and optimize results

• Experience with (or excitement to explore) AI tools and automation to boost scale and productivity.

• Passion for the stock markets, you have to be an active investor yourself

• Fast learner with a growth mindset (we are not expecting you to know everything but are expecting you to learn it quickly). Keen eye for detail and a high bar for quality.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead ideation and development of new campaign and conversion funnels from 0 to 1

• Build, run and optimize direct response and lifecycles email campaigns (including deliverability)

• Optimize conversion rates across the whole funnel, from new user acquisition to subscription, retention and churn. You will be able to deploy most of your tests into production on the same day

• Collaborate with engineering team to automate and streamline marketing operations and build in-product funnels to drive conversion

• Own analytics dashboard and help the business make data-informed decisions. Perform user interviews to uncover insights that compound growth.

• Contribute to product and marketing copy across everything we do
