Full-time Growth Marketing Manager, Mantle

01About Mantle

We’re building an AI agent to help families support their aging parents (origin story here).

Over 40M “sandwich generation” Americans currently manage their parent’s affairs. Keeping mom/dad safe and supported is like a second job: it’s time-consuming, stressful and on top of their already busy lives. We believe that managing our parents’ affairs should feel under control, easier and lower stress.

Co-founded by serial entrepreneur partners including Ted Zagat, who sold his previous businesses to Slack (announcement here) and Google (Zagat restaurant guides).

02The Role

We are looking for a Growth Marketing Manager to help bring Mantle to millions of families. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves the full funnel: getting the right people to discover Mantle, turning them into happy members, and making sure they stick around and tell their friends. You will work side-by-side with our founders and marketing team to find the growth levers that work.

This is a role for a builder. In the early days, growth is about high-velocity experimentation. It's not just about strategy; it's about the unglamorous work of setting up tracking, writing and rewriting onboarding emails, running dozens of small tests and reading the data honestly. You'll be the one doing the manual work today so we can build the growth engine of tomorrow.

03What You'll Build

Experimentation engine: Design, run and learn from a steady cadence of growth experiments across the funnel.

Activation and onboarding: Improve how new families get started and reach their first moment of value with Mantle.

Lifecycle marketing: Build the email, SMS and in-app journeys that drive engagement, conversion and retention.

Referral and word of mouth: Turn happy families into our best growth channel.

Organic acquisition: Develop early SEO, partnership and community channels that compound over time.

Growth analytics: Establish the dashboards and metrics that tell us what's working.

04What We're Looking For

Required Experience

3+ years of growth marketing experience, ideally at a consumer startup or high-growth company

Track record of running experiments that measurably improved acquisition, activation or retention

Hands-on experience with lifecycle marketing tools (e.g. Customer.io, Braze, Iterable) and product analytics (e.g. Amplitude, Mixpanel)

Strong analytical skills, with comfort in spreadsheets and SQL

AI adept: savvy with AI tools (LLMs, agents) to increase your own personal leverage

05Ideal Background

Early-stage startup experience where you wore many hats

Experience growing a moderate-to-high consideration consumer product (e.g. a subscription or financial product)

Experience working closely with product and engineering on onboarding and in-product growth

Strong instinct for messaging that resonates with busy adults

Nice to have, but not required: experience with FinTech
