Growth Strategist
Highrise is the UK’s leading Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) marketing agency, specialising in helping high growth businesses scale rapidly through demand generation and user-centric marketing strategy.
Our culture is very important to us, at Highrise’s we are “not a traditional agency” (we know a lot of agencies say this, but it is 100% true). We aren’t interested in the toxic, micromanaging environment found in many client services businesses. We work hard to establish achievable, reasonable expectations with our clients, and work harder to offer as much flexibility for everyone to achieve those goals in their own way. A healthy work/life balance is key to our unique success, and we embody this, from the founders down.
We work holistically with some of the biggest and most exciting brands, spanning fashion, technology, retail, travel, and eCommerce industries. The founding team of Highrise has been involved in successfully scaling multiple businesses from 0 to £100m+ in annual sales. Running and scaling brands is part of our DNA.
We exist to partner with brands to help them hit their growth ambitions by looking to create meaningful, impactful relationships with their audience bases across the full user lifecycle. If you have equally high standards, we think we’re the best place to work out there.
The Role
We’re looking for a well-rounded Growth Strategy Manager who can be the bridge between our clients and the media team by turning the long-term strategy set by our Account Directors into practical and clever marketing tactics that can help achieve those objectives.
Working in the client servicing team, you will be the guardian of the successful outcome of these tactics and thereby help ensure the overall client goals and objectives are met. The ideal candidate would have a background in managing performance marketing channels (ideally paid social or paid search), but has adopted a more holistic view of marketing that allows them to see and understand an entire funnel’s dynamics (preferably within E-commerce).
To help you be successful in your role, you will be supported by:
