Growth Marketing Manager

We are looking for a strategic, hands-on Marketing Manager who can lead a team while also operating as a strong individual contributor. This is a true player-coach role. You will be responsible for setting direction, developing team members, raising the quality of the work, and ensuring strong execution.

• Turn broad business priorities into actionable marketing strategies and campaign plans with limited direction.
• Develop and execute integrated, multi-touch campaigns across email, web, organic and paid social, search, content, events, and sales outreach.

• Develop and execute account-based marketing programs for priority accounts and target segments in close partnership with Sales.
• Build audience and account strategies based on buyer roles, industries, intent, engagement, and business priorities.
• Partner with Sales on account selection, campaign activation, follow-up strategy, and measurement of account progression.
• Use campaign, account, and funnel performance data to improve targeting, messaging, channels, conversion, and pipeline contribution.
• Test and optimize audiences, offers, landing pages, nurture sequences, CTAs, and channel mix to improve marketing performance.
• Partner with executive leadership, Sales, SMEs, and delivery teams to shape go-to-market messaging and market positioning.
• Improve website and landing-page messaging, content architecture, and conversion paths.
• Support SEO, GEO/AEO, content optimization, and digital demand-generation programs.
• Develop sales enablement materials that help Sales communicate 10Pearls' value and engage priority accounts more effectively.
• Step directly into execution when a campaign, deadline, or high-priority deliverable requires it.
