From the our Hiring Manager, Oliver Hughes

I'm thrilled to be bringing this role onto my team at Manifest. We're at an exciting inflection point -building something that genuinely matters for small business entrepreneurs who deserve better tools, better support, and better outcomes. This role will be instrumental in getting us there.

I'm looking for someone who's ready to get in the trenches with me to build something great. Someone who's energized by the opportunity to own growth as a key partner in the business - not just execute campaigns - but help shape strategy, test new channels, and build systems that scale. This role requires wearing a lot of different hats and bringing strong analytical skills to everything you do. You'll need to be comfortable moving between strategic planning and hands-on execution, while always letting data guide your decisions.

If you're motivated by meaningful impact, love working across the full marketing stack, and want to help transform the world for small business entrepreneurs, I'd love to work with you.
