About the role

We're looking for a strategic, hands-on Growth Marketing Manager to drive core business performance and scale Thumbtack's rapidly growing Paid Social program across channels like Meta, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, and Reddit.

You're a builder at heart: someone who owns their numbers, pushes ideas outside the current playbook, and has taken a channel or audience from 0 to 1 and made it stick, while collaborating with Creative, Analytics, Martech, and driving performance forward with AI and automation. If you love uncovering the next lever before anyone else sees it, this role is built for you.

• Drive our end-to-end emergent Pro (B2B) strategy and execution across Social channels

• Own in-house campaign management and optimizations, including budget pacing, bid optimization, creative iteration, audience segmentation, and platform best practices

• Build and implement Paid Social testing roadmaps with cross-functional partners, driving a continuous test-and-learn approach across audiences, creative, and platforms

• Own tracking, QA, reporting, and measurement for Paid Social, partnering with internal and third-party tools to ensure confidence in results

• Collaborate with Brand and Creative teams to develop and iterate thumb-stopping, performance-driven creative that also advances Thumbtack's brand narrative

In order to be successful, you must bring

• Bachelor's/Master's in Marketing, Business, Statistics, Economics, or a related field preferred

• 6+ years of experience managing, scaling, and evolving paid social programs at $X-XX million monthly spend

• Deep platform and technical expertise in social platforms, with a minimum of 2+ such as Meta, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, and Reddit

• Proven track record of unlocking growth from new channels and tactics across creative, martech, and AI tooling

• Strong analytical chops, with experience in Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, lookups) and hands-on comfort with incrementality, MMM, A/B testing, lift testing, and attribution frameworks

• Confident communicator with proven experience collaborating with multiple cross-functional partners

• Comfort in a fast-paced, high-stakes growth org, with a bias for action, experimentation, and results
