Growth Marketing Manager

Job Description

📍 Bristol (Hybrid – 2 days in office)

💰 £45,000 – £52,000 + bonus

Earworm is looking for a growth marketing manager to join our team in Bristol.

We’re an ambitious video podcast agency helping businesses reach new audiences worldwide – and we’re growing fast.

We don’t need someone to “do marketing.”

We need someone to build pipeline.

The Role

Your job is simple:

generate high-quality opportunities.

• Where are our customers?
• How do we reach them?
• What actually converts?

You’ll be responsible for answering those questions – and executing on them.

This role is part performance marketing, part growth, part demand generation.

It’s not clean. It’s not linear. That’s the point.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Driving qualified leads across paid, organic, outbound and CRM
  
• Figuring out where attention actually is (not where we assume it is)
  
• Testing channels, messaging, creative and offers constantly
  
• Running campaigns across LinkedIn, Google, email and beyond
  
• Building re-engagement flows and CRM journeys
  
• Working closely with sales to improve conversion
  
• Killing what doesn’t work, fast
  

How We Think About Marketing

You won’t be relying on big budgets.

We care about:

• Smart thinking over spend
  
• Creativity over repetition
  
• Results over activity
  

If your default answer is “increase budget”, this isn’t the role.

What We’re Looking For

You’re not average. And you don’t want to be.

• You understand performance marketing and how to make budgets work
  
• You’ve delivered results without relying on large spend
  
• You can move across channels – paid, organic, outbound, CRM
  
• You’re comfortable with data and know how to use it properly
  
• You can write – clearly, sharply, without fluff
  

And importantly:

You have taste.

You know what looks good.

You know what feels off.

You understand nuance in creative, messaging, and positioning.

Most marketers don’t have this. You do.

The Kind of Person Who Will Thrive Here

• You’re focused, ambitious, and a bit relentless
  
• You question things instead of following playbooks
  
• You like figuring things out from first principles
  
• You actually care about the quality of your work
  

And:

You back yourself to beat competitors with 10x the budget.

Salary & Progression

• £42,000 base salary
  
• Bonus tied to pipeline and revenue
  

This role is designed to grow into a more senior marketing position as we scale – with real ownership over strategy, budget, and team.

How We Work

We’re a close team that likes being in the room together.

We work hybrid, with 2 days a week in the Bristol office – using that time to solve problems, test ideas, and push each other.

We care about doing exceptional work and creating genuinely world-class content for our clients. That comes from collaboration, not working in silos.

Why Earworm

• You’ll have real ownership from day one
  
• You’ll be backed to try things – not boxed into one channel
  
• You’ll work with a strong sales team who can convert what you generate
  
• You’ll be part of a business that’s growing quickly and expects a lot
  

Interview Process

We keep things straightforward, but we go deep.

Stage 1 – Intro Call

A short phone call to understand your background, how you think, and whether there’s an initial fit on both sides.

Stage 2 – In-Person Interview (Bristol)

A proper working conversation.

We’ll challenge your understanding of the market, how you approach data, and how you’d start building our marketing engine.

We may ask you to come prepared with ideas on how you’d approach generating pipeline for Earworm.

This isn’t about perfect answers – it’s about how you think.

Stage 3 – Final Conversation

A deeper dive into what success looks like in this role.

We’ll align on expectations, what you’d deliver in the first 3–6 months, and how this role grows with the business.

We care about how you think, not just what you’ve done. Come prepared to challenge us as much as we challenge you.

Bottom Line

If you want a comfortable marketing role, this isn’t it.

If you want to prove you’re better than most marketers, we should talk.
