Trusted by over 50,000 businesses nationwide, Auris pairs easy-to-use technology with real human services to give leaders the confidence that every detail is done right - so they can focus on growing their team and their business.

Summary of This Role

We're looking for a data-driven Growth Marketing Manager who is equal parts strategist and operator. You'll turn marketing spend into qualified pipeline for our inside and field sales teams, and you'll help grow revenue from the 50,000+ businesses already running payroll with us.

Our buyers are small and medium-sized businesses with 5 to 250 employees, with especially strong traction in the trades (HVAC, manufacturing and similar industries). You'll own the full funnel for those audiences: acquisition, lead quality, conversion and cross-sell into the install base. This is a hands-on role in a test-and-learn culture: you'll launch experiments quickly, give them enough time to read real results, and scale what works.

What You’ll Do

Key Responsibilities 

• Plan, launch and optimize multi-channel acquisition programs (paid search, paid social, display, retargeting, email and content syndication) that hit monthly MQL and pipeline targets.

• Build and run a structured experimentation roadmap across channels, offers, audiences and landing pages, with clear hypotheses, success criteria and readouts.

• Manage campaign budgets in-house, including pacing, bid strategy and reallocation toward the highest-return channels; partner with any paid media agency on execution.

• Develop cross-sell and upsell programs for current clients, most of whom use payroll only, in partnership with Operations and inside sales.

• Partner with Digital Operations and RevOps on lead scoring, routing and handoff so leads that reach sales are genuinely warm.

• Own funnel reporting from first touch to closed revenue: CAC, cost per MQL and SQL, conversion rates and channel ROI, using HubSpot, Salesforce and Google Analytics.

• Turn performance data into clear recommendations for marketing and sales leadership, and contribute to the marketing forecast.

• Work with Content, Creative and Product Marketing to brief and test messaging, offers and assets tailored to SMB owners and priority industries.

• Stay current on payroll and HR tech competitors, channel trends and AI-driven search changes that affect demand.

What are our Desired Skills and Capabilities?

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Economics or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• 7+ years in growth marketing, demand generation or performance marketing, ideally in B2B SaaS, fintech or payroll/HR technology selling to SMBs.

• Hands-on experience building and optimizing paid campaigns in Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn, with a record of improving CAC, cost per lead or pipeline you can walk us through.

• Strong analytical skills: comfortable in spreadsheets, attribution models and dashboards, and able to explain what the numbers mean.

• Working knowledge of HubSpot and Salesforce, including lead scoring, lifecycle stages and campaign tracking.

• Experience running A/B and multivariate tests on landing pages, emails and ads

• Clear communicator who can partner with sales leaders and present results to executives.

Preferred

• Experience with cross-sell or expansion marketing to an existing customer base.

• Familiarity with SEO and generative engine optimization (GEO).

• Experience marketing to the trades or other owner-operated small businesses.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation and performance incentives.

• Comprehensive benefits package.

• Collaborative, mission-driven culture with high visibility and impact.
