Role

- We are looking for a unique personality and skill-set
- The ideal persona is someone that is self-driven, able to wear multiple hats, understands our core ICP, and can find comfort in chaos
- You have experience owning growth channels: You have a proven track record of strategy design, execution, and measurement across multiple growth channels: YouTube, Paid Social, Technical Newsletters, Open Source, Paid Search experience is a plus
- You own your time: You work most effectively by identifying impact opportunities on your own, rather than waiting for assigned tasks. To be successful at Clerk, you need to make the most of the autonomy you’re given
- You’re detail oriented: You understand what details matter and how to disseminate important information to the rest of the Clerk team
- You are metric driven: You approach experiments with hypotheses and rely on data-backed decisions. While you're skilled at interpreting metrics to guide experiments, you also know when to leverage your instinct and experience for optimal results
- You've marketed to developers: You have experience in a growth marketing, digital marketing, or similar role for developer-focused products. You understand the unique challenges and opportunities of a developer audience
- You're a creative problem-solver: You have strong intuition and are comfortable with experimentation and iterative learning. You thrive on finding creative solutions to complex challenges. You should have a solid split between creativity and logic
- You are not afraid of failure: You will fail at times, but are undeterred. You see failures as learning opportunities as opposed to a breakdown in confidence
What the job involves
- As a Growth Marketer, you will help accelerate growth by scaling and optimizing our most effective acquisition channels
- Leveraging your marketing expertise, particularly in engaging developer communities, you will ideate on, execute, and maintain creative marketing experiments to improve awareness and adoption of Clerk
- Scale proven acquisition channels: Own and optimize performance across our top channels, aiming to turn promising growth levers into repeatable, scalable programs
- Run high-velocity experiments: Design and execute creative, low-friction tests to uncover new ways to reach developers and drive signups and activations
- Track & report performance: Define success metrics, measure the impact of campaigns, and communicate learnings with clarity. Your north star is driving Activated Signups
- Track changing trends within developer communities: Keep a pulse on what it is our target audiences care about and pay attention to, in order to develop new ways to naturally get in front of them
Our take
Authentication is only part of the story when it comes to user management. Developers using API tools also face the complex UI and management issues of additional features like user sign-up, sign-in, and session management, to name a few. Clerk was founded to make this simpler, reducing hours of work to minutes using pre-built React components.
Clerk stands out in a market dominated by the likes of Auth0 and OneSpan with its focus on React rather than API. This taps into a growing number of developers working with Jamstack rather than trying to wrestle customers away from market incumbents - a smart move which has seen its userbase swell by five times, growing to over a million developers.
This rapid growth has attracted investors, and Clerk closed a Series B round in 2024. This funding is being used to expand the company's services into authorisation - determining a user's permissions as opposed to simply identifying them. As account security and management will continue to be a major focus for developers going forward, Clerk is well positioned to grow into a major player in this space, especially as it continues to expand its product range.
