Role
Who you are
- You’re a builder — you thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and take ownership without waiting for perfect inputs
- You’re metrics-driven and outcome-obsessed: pipeline, acquisition, conversion, and revenue are your language
- You’re obsessed with efficiency — you design repeatable growth engines and efficient funnel journeys, not one-off campaigns
- You’ve been testing and honing your skills with the latest AI and workflow automation tools (Unify, Clay, UserGems, Claude Code, etc.)
- You’re technically fluent and comfortable marketing to developers and security teams, partnering closely with product and engineering
- You write with clarity and persuasion, and you know how to communicate to technical buyers without sounding like marketing
- You’re curious, scrappy, and constantly testing
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Growth Marketing Manager to architect programs that drive efficient, scalable growth across key metrics, including user acquisition, SQLs, qualified pipeline, and revenue
- This is a hands-on, systems-driven growth role for someone who wants to build repeatable engines — not one-off plays
- You’ll partner with teams like RevOps, Sales Development, and Performance Marketing to turn buyer intent signals into scalable conversion journeys
- You’ll spend 100% of your time generating pipeline — experimenting constantly and building growth loops that compound over time
- Build and scale repeatable, signal-based outbound motions that generate net-new pipeline through rapid experimentation and optimization
- Architect developer-led growth systems that translate product usage, community engagement, and technical intent signals into structured nurture and conversion pathways
- Partner with Performance Marketing, RevOps, and Sales Development to segment, nurture, and convert our database based on intent level, persona, and engagement signals
- Continuously research, test, and implement new tools and AI-driven automation to accelerate execution, increase efficiency, and unlock new demand channels
- Write lifecycle and outbound email copy that converts — clear, technical, and credible messaging aligned to how our buyers actually communicate and consume information
- Diagnose inefficiencies in our lead-to-opportunity funnel, uncover root causes, and implement experiments that measurably improve conversion rates and downstream pipeline impact
- Share results clearly and consistently: what worked, what didn’t, what we learned, and what we’re shipping next
Our take
Developers rely on open source code and apps in their day to day work, but when the provenance of the code is unknown this creates potential weaknesses that cybercriminals can exploit. Chainguard exists to build security into the coding supply chain by making it possible for companies to enforce security policies based on auditable signatures baked into the code.
In the wake of huge cyber attacks, software supply chain security has been an area of major focus. However, most of this has surrounded the scanning and detection of threats. Chainguard's approach comes from the other end of the process, focusing on building security into the software itself.
Built by former engineers who are aware of developer workloads, Chainguard is designed to be easily installed and integrated into existing automation systems. The company has secured substantial funding, the latest of which will support more aggressive product and R&D spending as it looks to further boost sales.
