Growth Marketing Manager, SMB Ads
Openai · San Francisco

**About the Team**

OpenAI's Marketing team helps customers understand, adopt, and get value from OpenAI's products and platform. The SMB Ads Marketing team is building the growth engine for small and medium-sized business advertisers: helping them discover the platform, sign up, launch campaigns, understand performance, and grow spend over time.

We take a data-driven approach to understanding customer needs, market dynamics, and funnel behavior. We partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Sales, Partnerships, Marketing Operations, Design, and Communications to create a cohesive end-to-end advertiser experience and help businesses unlock value from OpenAI's advertising platform.

**About the Role**

We are hiring a Growth Marketing Manager, SMB Ads to help build and execute high-velocity growth programs for small business advertisers. This person will work across acquisition, activation, lifecycle, and conversion, with an initial focus on helping advertisers move from interest and sign-up to first meaningful spend & retention over time

This is a hands-on growth role for someone who loves turning ideas into shipped experiments. You will build campaigns, lifecycle journeys, landing page tests, messaging tests, audience experiments, AI-assisted workflows, reporting improvements, and practical conversion programs. As the SMB Ads business grows, this role may continue to support acquisition and activation and expand deeper into same-store growth, lifecycle, retention, and repeat spend.

**In This Role, You Will:**

- Execute growth experiments across acquisition, activation, lifecycle, and early retention.
- Build email, in-product, landing page, audience, messaging, and offer tests that help SMB advertisers reach first spend and repeat value.
- Use AI tools to prototype marketing assets, automate workflows, analyze funnel data, generate creative variations, and build internal growth systems.
- Partner with Growth, Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Marketing Operations to turn strategy into shipped experiments and measurable learnings.
- Support improvements to sign-up, onboarding, campaign creation, measurement, and advertiser education.
- Maintain experiment documentation, QA checklists, learnings, and performance readouts.
- Translate ambiguous growth ideas into concrete tests, campaign plans, launchable assets, and clear next steps.
- Help identify new ways to convert, activate, retain, and grow SMB advertisers.

**You Might Thrive in This Role If You:**

- Have 4-7 years of experience in growth marketing, lifecycle marketing, GTM engineering, marketing operations, product growth, demand generation, or performance marketing.
- Have shipped campaigns, experiments, automations, landing page tests, lifecycle programs, or conversion initiatives.
- Are comfortable working across ambiguous, fast-moving growth problems with incomplete information.
- Can interpret funnel metrics, campaign performance, experiment results, and customer behavior signals.
- Are fluent with AI tools and use them to accelerate marketing execution, workflow automation, analysis, personalization, prototyping, or internal tooling.
- Have strong writing and customer judgement, especially for translating product value into clear SMB-facing messaging.
- Enjoy working across Marketing, Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Operations.
- Have experience with SMB growth, self-serve funnels, adv
