Hybrid$158k/yrFull-time

About the Role

You will build and lead the marketing function behind our self-service growth: acquisition, trial-to-paid conversion, and lifecycle expansion for small legal firms and solo practitioners. You own the marketing motion end-to-end—content, campaign and customer-journey strategy, lifecycle—and are accountable for the overall PLG outcome, delivered through a tight partnership with the digital lead who owns the web, commerce, and product-surface experience.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Owning the self-service growth outcome—self-serve revenue growth and the CAC, LTV, and conversion efficiency behind it—as the single accountable owner of the PLG motion end-to-end.
  • Developing content and campaign strategy, and defining the customer motions and journeys that drive self-serve acquisition, conversion, and expansion.
  • Leading lifecycle and growth marketing: usage-triggered nurture and expansion delivered via email, in-product, paid media, performance marketing, and digital channels.
  • Defining activation and funnel measurement—activation definition, propensity and journey modeling, and the product-qualified-lead (PQL) signal—in partnership with data science, analytics, and the shared CDP.
  • Hiring, developing, and leading a small, senior team spanning self-service acquisition, growth, lifecycle, and experimentation, while setting the goals and methodology for the AI-human hybrid model.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in growth or product-led growth marketing, with direct ownership of a self-service revenue or conversion number—you've built or scaled a PLG motion, not supervised one from across the table.
  • 5+ years leading and scaling marketing teams, with a track record of developing senior talent.
  • Deep strength in content strategy, lifecycle and email marketing, and customer-journey design.
  • Familiarity and comfort collaborating closely with central paid media and performance marketing teams.
  • Fluency in CAC and LTV economics, funnel conversion, and lifecycle marketing.
  • Familiarity with PLG instrumentation and decision science: activation events, PQL modeling, funnel analytics, and experimentation design.
  • Working knowledge of the self-serve commercial stack—free trial vs. freemium, monthly/pay-as-you-go pricing, edition-ladder packaging, and self-serve checkout.
  • Proven ability to drive a shared outcome across partners you don’t control—digital strategy, media, product, commerce, and data science—orchestrating one connected customer journey.
  • Experience marketing to considered, security-sensitive B2B buyers; legal, professional services, or another trust-driven category preferred.
  • Experience with the AI-human hybrid operating model: agents carrying production and lifecycle mechanics under human direction, with senior judgment reserved for strategy and quality.

Benefits

  • Hybrid Work Model: Flexible hybrid working environment for office-based roles, delivering a seamless experience that is digitally and physically connected.
  • Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: "Flex My Way" policies support personal and professional responsibilities, including work from anywhere for up to 8 weeks per year.
  • Career Development and Growth: Culture of continuous learning with "Grow My Way" programming and a skills-first approach to prepare talent for future challenges.
  • Industry Competitive Benefits:
    • Comprehensive benefit plans: flexible vacation, two company-wide Mental Health Days, access to the Headspace app, retirement savings, tuition reimbursement, and employee incentive programs.
    • Resources for mental, physical, and financial wellbeing.
    • Optional hospital, accident, sickness, life, and AD&D insurance (employee-paid).
    • Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts.
    • Fitness reimbursement and Employee Assistance Program.
    • Group Legal and Identity Theft Protection (employee-paid).
    • Access to 529 Plan, commuter benefits, Adoption & Surrogacy Assistance, and Tuition Reimbursement.
    • Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
  • Culture: Globally recognized for inclusion, belonging, flexibility, and work-life balance. Values include obsessing over customers, competing to win, challenging thinking, acting and learning fast, and collaboration.
  • Social Impact: Two paid volunteer days off annually, opportunities for pro-bono consulting, and involvement in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.
  • Making a Real-World Impact: Contribute to upholding the rule of law, turning the wheels of commerce, and providing trusted, unbiased information globally.
