• Strong track record of developing and launching performance-driven campaigns - at Stock Story we prefer profitable over pretty
• A data-driven mindset - able to track, measure, and optimize results
• Experience with (or excitement to explore) AI tools and automation to boost scale and productivity.
• Passion for the stock markets, you have to be an active investor yourself
• Fast learner with a growth mindset (we are not expecting you to know everything but are expecting you to learn it quickly). Keen eye for detail and a high bar for quality.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead ideation and development of new campaign and conversion funnels from 0 to 1
• Build, run and optimize direct response and life cycles email campaigns (including deliverability)
• Optimize conversion rates across the whole funnel, from new user acquisition to subscription, retention and churn. Y ou will be able to deploy most of your tests into production on the same day
• Collaborate with engineering team to automate and streamline marketing operations and build in-product funnels to drive conversion
• Own analytics dashboard and help us make data-informed decisions. Perform user interviews to uncover insights that compound growth.
• Contribute to product and marketing copy across everything we do
