Demand Generation Manager

About Us

Circle is building the all-in-one community platform for creators and brands: think "Shopify for creator/brand-led communities". We make it really easy to bring people, discussions, live streams, content, events and payments together — all in one place, all under a personalized brand.

In November 2021, Circle raised $25M (Series A) to accelerate the way we help creators and brands interact with their customers, their partners, and their community.

Circle is a 100% remote company! We now have a team of about 100 (and growing) based in different countries all around the world.

About the role

We’re looking for a new Demand Generation Manger to help grow our MRR by owning key areas of Circle’s demand generation strategy. Reporting to the Demand Generation Lead, you’ll be responsible for managing aspects and stages of our inbound funnel -from concept to execution, and ongoing optimization. It’s important that you thrive in a high-autonomy and ownership environment. This means you’re curious, organized, focused, and above all, a critical thinker.

What you'll be doing

  • Owning typical demand generation metrics. Specifically, MQLs, MRR and metrics that influence them. 
  • Planning, building, launching and optimizing “always-on” campaigns to generate and capture demand. 
  • Working closely with the Demand Generation Lead to identity, test and build out new acquisition channels. 
  • Collaborating with members of the go-to-market team -such as sales, lifecycle marketing and more- to improve metrics that influence MRR. 
  • Owning acquisition budget. You’ll optimize spend and support the demand generation lead in reporting bi-weekly to members of the leadership team.

What you'll need to be successful

  • You're able and ready to own the numbers. This could include MRR, MRR-per-MQL, pipeline or something similar.
  • You have had “Demand Generation,” “Growth Marketing,” “Performance Marketing” or something similar in your job title before. Ideally, for at least three years while targeting small and midsize businesses. 
  • Have a strong understanding of marketing strategy. You might be deeply knowledgeable about certain channels, but you’re a generalist as opposed to a specialist.
  • You're focused on long-term, scalable marketing strategies. There’s a time and a place for quick wins, but you love creating sustainable processes and structures.
  • You are excited about building and optimizing an inbound, product-led growth (PLG) machine.
  • You are comfortable with feedback -providing, receiving and implementing it.
