Regular, F/T

Summary

Yoga International is hiring a Growth Marketing Manager to own and scale our customer acquisition engine across paid media, creative, and emerging growth channels.

You will bring our paid media function in-house (currently managed by an external agency) and take ownership of a ~$2M annual budget across Meta, Google, TikTok, and YouTube-driving performance through strong strategy, execution, and creative direction. You will be responsible not just for acquisition volume, but for driving high-quality leads that convert to members and retain over time, with a focus on improving guest-to-member conversion and overall customer quality.

From this foundation, you will expand our acquisition efforts into influencer/creator marketing, SEO-aligned search strategy, and new growth opportunities over time.

This is a hands-on role for someone with agency experience who is equally strong in performance marketing, analytics, and creative thinking-and wants to directly impact growth.

Soft skills are key to success. We seek candidates with strong interpersonal abilities - effective communication, teamwork, prioritization, and problem solving - who can adapt to change, manage conflicts with empathy, and collaborate well with diverse teams. While technical skills matter, we highly value those who build positive relationships, contribute to a supportive culture, and approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset. If this sounds like you, you'll thrive in our dynamic environment.

Must be able to work on campus in Louisville, CO.

US citizenship or an existing work visa is required
