The Opportunity
We're looking for a Growth Marketing Manager to launch and scale paid social and display channels that represent a meaningful opportunity for Kin's new customer acquisition strategy. Your north star is efficient growth: scaling paid social volume while executing campaigns in a way that proves the incremental impact of the channel on new revenue.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role — you build the plan and execute it. You'll own decision-making on media buying, audience strategy, and creative optimization, leveraging your instincts alongside data-driven insights to make paid social and display core pillars of how Kin grows.
Your Responsibilities
Own Kin's paid social campaigns end-to-end — audience targeting, bid strategy, ad concepts, and budget allocation — with an initial focus on scaling spend on Meta and expanding to additional platforms as value is proven out
Build and optimize display and programmatic advertising campaigns across the Google Display Network and other relevant placements, driving awareness and consideration among target homeowner audiences with a sharp eye on downstream conversion metrics
Lead Kin's remarketing and retargeting strategy across paid social and display, building audience segments based on site behavior, quote progress, policy status, and price competitiveness to turn abandoned quotes into bound policies
Define audience strategy for both prospecting and retargeting across paid social and display, demonstrating deep knowledge of Kin's target customer and the right platform-specific levers to pull
Develop creative briefs and testing roadmaps in partnership with the design team, running structured tests across copy, visuals, formats, and CTAs to continuously improve performance
Monitor campaign performance daily and drive data-driven optimizations to hit efficiency and volume targets, partnering with Marketing Analytics to build reporting that produces meaningful, actionable reads on every test
Core Benefits
Competitive salary and company equity through Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), granted as part of our standard compensation package and based on role and level
401(k) with company match up to 4% of eligible earnings
Multiple medical plan options, plus dental and vision coverage
Company-funded HSA contributions (based on medical plan selection)
Company-paid life insurance and short-term disability

A variety of supplemental benefit options, including long-term disability, critical illness, accident, legal, and pet insurance
