Senior Growth Marketing Manager, Consumer
Yelp · Remote · $126,000–$216,000 (stated in the posting)
Summary
Yelp's mission is to connect people with great local businesses. As a trusted source of information on local business, millions of people turn to Yelp every day to make decisions about where to spend their money — from where to eat, shop or stay, to which home or local service provider to use, and beyond.
Yelp's Growth Marketing team drives user acquisition, activation and long-term engagement across the full consumer lifecycle. As a Senior Growth Marketing Manager, you will lead strategy and hands-on execution to deepen engagement with our existing users across our Services and Restaurants, Food & Nightlife (RFN) verticals, and to build awareness of Yelp as the go-to destination for home and local services.
You will own campaigns across Yelp's owned channels (i.e., email, push, in-product placements) as well as paid and organic social, with the goal of inspiring consumers, capturing intent and converting it to action. We are looking for a growth marketer who is also a strong creative leader: someone who keeps a pulse on culture, brings timely trends into our marketing, and turns Yelp's authentic user-generated content into scroll-stopping creative that delivers measurable results.
In this highly cross-functional role, you will partner closely with Creative, Social, Paid Media, Product Marketing, Marketing Operations and Technology, Growth Science, Product and Engineering to plan, launch and optimize campaigns that drive engagement, reach and revenue growth.
Our team is passionate about data, experimentation and the power of new technology, including AI, to drive innovation. We are especially interested in candidates who bring direct experience with engagement and growth marketing at scale, and who bring curiosity and enthusiasm for using AI and emerging technologies to advance marketing effectiveness.
We’d love to have you apply, even if you don’t feel you meet every single requirement in this posting. At Yelp, we’re looking for great people, not just those who simply check off all the boxes. This is a full-time remote role based in the United States.

- Drive Services awareness through paid and organic social, partnering with the Social and Paid Media teams to develop channel-native content and campaigns across platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest and Reddit, and evaluate new upper-funnel channels as opportunities emerge.
- Serve as a creative leader for consumer growth campaigns, setting the creative vision and partnering with in-house design and production teams to build thumb-stopping creative and reusable creative systems the broader team can scale.
- Move quickly on cultural moments by tracking emerging trends and platform-native formats, and turning them into timely, on-brand campaigns that drive user engagement.

- Hands-on experience with marketing platforms (i.e., Braze) for campaign execution and audience segmentation.
- Hands-on experience with paid and organic social marketing, including channel-native content strategy, creator or UGC-driven creative and platform best practices.

- Deep understanding of internet culture, social trends and consumer behavior, with the ability to act quickly on cultural moments while protecting brand trust.

- Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to summarize complex concepts for an executive audience.

- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have:
