About Us
Sling Money allows anyone in 75+ countries to send money to each other instantly, with just a couple taps. You don't need to know anything about the recipient's bank account, and you don't have to worry about foreign exchange. We believe all of this should be possible at low or no cost -- and at the moment Sling Money is completely free. We're working to build the world's first billion user financial and we'd love your help.
About the Role
We're looking for a dynamic and deeply quantitative Growth Marketer to take ownership of Sling Money's user growth, engagement and retention. This person will help us accelerate organic word-of-mouth growth, build viral loops, and help us build on a limited amount of paid marketing to help us reach the next stage of growth.
This role has high ownership and responsibility. You'll work across multiple teams -- engineering, product, design, finance, compliance and marketing -- to drive growth, maximize retention and optimize our entire growth funnel and growth loops. You'll be empowered to bring creative ideas, experiment, and execute quickly. You will also be expected to be extremely numerate and quantitative and to evaluate the success of your work dispassionately through a comprehensive testing and experimentation framework.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive Growth - Build and implement growth strategies across all relevant channels in the most efficient ways available. Use whatever tools are available across paid marketing, CRM and engagement marketing, pricing, contact import and invite flows, loyalty programs and any other levers you might imagine to drive sustainable, retained growth.
- Understand Deeply - Lead work to deeply understand our users from both qualitative and quantitive standpoints to support the development of growth hypotheses, their prioritization and to evaluate the success of our work and support constant learning. Ensure that we are properly measuring user growth, virality, retention, cohort behavior and other key metrics.
- Experiment Constantly - Ensure that all of our work is thoroughly tested and evaluated, and that whenever possible our growth efforts are run as experiments.
- Cross-Channel Marketing - Work with the marketing team to integrate marketing and growth efforts across all available channels to build cohesive campaigns.
- Collaborate broadly and effectively - Work closely and with credibility with engineers, designers, marketers, the compliance team and other colleagues to ensure that we deliver effectively as one team.
- Be a Self-Starter - You have to be intrinsically self-motivated because we'll expect you to have high ownership and drive us forward at all times.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience - You have a proven track record in Growth at a fast-paced start-up or technology company. The ideal candidates will a product analytics or data science background and have experience running paid marketing campaigns and doing in-product growth work.
- At least Somewhat Technical - You will need to write SQL and be able to operate in Metabase and tools like Statsig. Our data is in BigQuery, Metabase and Statsig. You don't need to have specific experience with these tools, but you need a good data foundation and the ability to learn them quickly.
- Creative - We're looking for someone who will bring fresh ideas to the table and have a deep, natural curiosity. You should be excited about experimenting and failing fast so that we can learn quickly and iterate.
- Ambitious - You should be deeply ambitious. We're trying to build a global financial app. No one has done this before. This idea has to excite you at your core.
- Growth Mindset - No one gets everything right. You should be focused on learning and improving every single day.
- Collaborative - We've said this already, but we really mean it. We're a small team and a flat organization and everyone has to work together effectively. We're a regulated financial product and so you'll have to work with compliance in addition to the usual suspects in engineering, design, marketing, etc. You have to be excited by this. We promise they're very product-oriented and ambitious!
