At Future, we believe the fight against climate change is personal.

Good for your wallet. Good for the planet.

We are growing rapidly and are looking for a Head of Growth who will lead our marketing team, increasing awareness, adoption and use of Future's tools to slash carbon, save cash and earn rewards.  In this role you will be a champion of the Future brand, working with your team across all marketing channels to drive key results for the company.

Regarding location:  The CEO and our headquarters are near Washington DC.  This job could be done remotely.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with other company functions to support a great customer experience, and ensure that handoffs between various consumer touchpoints are smooth
• Stay closely in tune with our competitors and how the overall market is evolving
• Stay aware of the latest trends in climate and fin-tech

Together with your team, you will operate marketing efforts across all channels:

• Manage social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn) to reach target markets, acquire users and support the company brand
• Manage ongoing engagement messaging streams, including email, text-messages and app notifications, to retain customers and increase engagement
• Manage content marketing and Search Engine Optimization efforts, publishing high quality unique content on our website to drive earned-media traffic from search engines
• Operate FuturePrize drawings, including prize announcements, winner announcements, and drawings – driving maximum viral marketing benefit from prize drawings
• Work closely with our partnerships team to support partner marketing and drive results from partnerships, including customer acquisition
• Operate referral channel, in which existing members get incentives to share Future with their friends and colleagues
• Design all marketing assets for use across channels (with a marketing design team that reports to you)
• As needed, run paid campaigns, either through in-house resources or agency partners

Qualifications:

• 8+ years experience in growth/marketing, with consumer-focused Internet/app marketing preferred
• 4+ years experience with direct people management, including remote management

• Quantitative/analytical skills required
• Strong and versatile communicator, across many different audiences and levels of experience/understanding

We care much more about what you’ve done, and the ideas you have, than the academic degrees you may hold.

You are concerned about climate change and are committed to inspiring millions of people from all walks of life to take the fight against climate change into their own hands and make a measurable difference. You appreciate that most families can’t afford a Tesla, switch to solar power or buy Oatly non-dairy milk and are intrigued about making climate-smart life choices more accessible for all.
