We're seeking a Manager of Growth Analytics, reporting to the Director of Strategy & Analytics, to be a driving force behind our data-led growth strategy.

This is a particularly exciting time to join Kickstarter, as we're growing rapidly and taking imaginative swings to transform the way people bring creative projects to life. We were just named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Companies of 2023 and this role will be at the heart of that influence. The position requires a blend of data analysis, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving, with room for upward mobility as our organization expands.

As our Manager of Growth Analytics, you will leverage data to inform our product and GTM strategies, pioneering a culture of experimentation with teams that are excited to dive in. You will collaborate closely with our Lifecycle Marketing and Brand Marketing teams, merging creativity with data to refine and amplify their messages. Growth here doesn’t just mean growing revenue; it means growing our mission and influence to help creators bring projects to life, and connect backers with projects they’ll love. You’ll collaborate with our outreach and research science teams to find new ways to accelerate the success of creators in our community. This role also provides an opportunity to influence at the highest level. From contributing to board reports to producing executive briefs, your insights will inform leadership, shaping the future of our organization. Finally, you’ll navigate the complex crowdfunding and creator economy ecosystem, identifying risks and opportunities, and guiding us to success as long-time leaders in this space. Your insights won't just reflect the market – they'll define it.
