About Exa

About the role

This is a full-stack growth role. You own paid acquisition, the website and its conversion path, and the technical mechanics of search and answer-engine visibility. You need to be genuinely hands-on in all of them rather than a manager of agencies.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years in growth, digital, or performance marketing at a B2B technology company, with hands-on ownership of paid budgets, landing pages, and technical SEO. Not agency oversight, hands on keyboard
  • Deep craft in at least one of the three areas and real working competence in the other two. Tell us which is your strongest and be ready to prove it
  • Credibility marketing to developers: you understand why gated whitepapers fail with this audience and what works instead
  • A track record of experiments that changed a number, with the honesty to tell us which ones failed
  • Analytics fluency: you can build your own reporting, and you know the difference between a lift and a coincidence
  • Comfort in the build layer. You can ship a landing page yourself, read the console, and work in whatever the site is built on rather than waiting on engineering

We are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We're high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.

We are looking for a Digital Marketing Manager to own the channels and surfaces where developers find us and decide to sign up.

This is a full-stack growth role. You own paid acquisition, the website and its conversion path, and the technical mechanics of search and answer-engine visibility. You need to be genuinely hands-on in all of them rather than a manager of agencies.

Developers can be cynical about marketing, allergic to gated content, and they evaluate by trying the product. So the job is less about...
