We are working with GetResponse in their search for a Digital Marketing Manager. This position is both SALARIED and HOME BASED. Established in 1998, GetResponse helps more than 350,000 small businesses grow their revenues with easy, effective email marketing. More than 160,000 affiliates have signed up for the firm’s Partner Program, which pays a 33% commission — the highest in the industry.
GetResponse is a fast-growing, debt-free, profitable company with offices in Europe, Russia, Asia, Canada and the USA. The firm seeks a passionate, experienced Digital Marketing Manager to help GetResponse expand in the USA.
HARRY’S COMMENTS: This is one of the coolest Digital Marketing Manager jobs on the market. GetResponse develops and markets SaaS-based email marketing software for small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs). Its software makes it super easy to create email newsletters and to automate marketing so that businesses can enjoy profitable, robust sales growth. Everything the company does is focused on helping SMBs generate more leads, more sales, to more prospective customers.
Headquartered in Poland, GetResponse’s revenue model is straightforward:
The company makes money through free trial upgrades and paid customers. The company offers a free trial account which lets customers enjoy 30 days of service. During that time, new users are able to store up to 250 contacts in their account. Once they exceed that amount or run out of time, it is up to these users to decide to upgrade the service to the paid Pro level.
Additionally, the GetResponse product suite includes Landing Pages, Responsive Emails, A/B Testing, Autoresponders, Just Create (and email creation tool), and more.
About the Role
The Digital Marketing Manager will be responsible for the strategy, execution, analysis, and on-going optimization of GetResponse online marketing programs. This role is directly accountable for driving performance across a portfolio of online marketing programs including Paid Search, SEO, Comparison Shopping Engines (CSE), Remarketing, Targeted Display, Affiliates, International / Borderfree, Site Ratings & Reviews, Strategic Partnerships, along with discovering and testing new and emerging digital channels.
Until now, GetResponse hasn’t had a customer acquisition professional concentrating on the North American market. The company needs someone to optimize its paid media spend, and it seeks a growth hacker who can drive value within 90 days (and every day thereafter). You’ll be tasked with optimizing the budgets around GetResponse’s paid channels and lowering the firm’s cost-per-lead and cost-per-sale.
Are you right for the job?
Well, can you drive revenue? Let’s start there. You must be able to develop your own creative concepts for getting people to find, evaluate, purchase, and advocate for GetResponse. Working without a team, you must be a self-starter who can rally support for your ideas — both internally and externally, even when people aren’t obligated or incentivized to support you.
GetResponse’s culture is about getting one’s hands dirty all the time, and the firm’s focus is on things like product development, improving marketing, figuring out what keeps customers awake at night, and determining where the bottlenecks to growth are in its business and processes. The firm doesn’t have $1 billion to spend on marketing. GetResponse is scrappy, and it looks for “force multipliers” in all aspects of its business — so that every dollar it spends looks like it spent ten dollars.
If you can thrive in that kind of environment, then please apply below!
