Head of Marketing

at  Doist

At Doist, our mission is to empower people with simple yet powerful tools.
We’re a multidisciplinary, fully-remote, team that’s passionate about creating products, like Todoist and Twist, that improve people’s lives. We thrive on innovating new solutions to old productivity challenges and we seek to rethink how productivity tools are made.

REQUIREMENTS

Not sure the role is a good fit for you? That’s okay! We’d still be happy to consider you. Here’s what the process looks like:

• Submit your complete application by July 19th at 2:00PM UTC. This includes a resume (or manually entered experience) and thoughtful responses to all the application questions. No cover letter needed!
• Application screening. We read every application to understand your motivation, skills, and experience. Once your application has been reviewed, you’ll receive a response regarding the status of your application by Friday, May 31st.
• Value alignment interview with Brenna L. (CMO).
• Role-specific interview with Dominique J. (Head of Product)
• Take-home test project. This will be your opportunity to showcase your role-specific skills.
• Culture contribution interview with Amir S. (CEO).

EXPAND YOUR PROFESSIONAL SKILLS

• Continue your education. You’ll have a recurring budget to spend on attending conferences, taking courses, and purchasing books.
• Collaborate in person at retreats. Our team- and company-wide retreats are unforgettable. The connections that we make in person inspire us throughout the year.

YOUR ROLE

• Guide and mentor a team of marketers with diverse talents, foster their professional development, and cultivate a culture of innovation, creativity, and continuous learning. When you join Doist, the marketing team will be seven people with areas of expertise including Content Marketing, Growth, Product Marketing and Community.
• Develop a strategic vision about where our branding and marketing can have the greatest business impact and create an environment that will allow the team to bring that impact to fruition.
• Collaborate with Doist Heads and Marketing teammates to plan, scope, and execute exceptional quality work at high speed across various channels, ensuring seamless alignment across all functions.
• Develop and manage the annual marketing budget, allocating resources across channels, analyzing spend/ROI for optimization, and forecasting expenditures per financial goals.
• Combine your knowledge of market trends, competitive landscapes, and various data sources to communicate key findings to the Leadership team and drive informed and strategic decisions.
• Remain on the vanguard of marketing technology, working to integrate technical advances like AI into our marketing stack to increase the team’s efficiency and business impact.
• Continue to hone your functional expertise by jumping in to collaborate on a wide variety of marketing work – from drafting emails to writing in-app copy – when needed.

To excel in this role, you are someone who is:

• Innately ambitious and motivated by high-impact work and finding creative solutions to make that work happen.
• Resourceful – Doist isn’t funded by VCs and our marketing budget is nothing near astronomical. Working within these financial limits should excite you, rather than deter you.
• A self-starter and can proactively guide your team, take ownership, and remain accountable with little or no direction.
• Both nurturing and direct. You hold your team to very high standards while genuinely caring about their personal growth and development. You want to see them excel both in and outside the workplace.
• A teamplayer. Marketing is one of teams that collaborates most with other departments. You must be willing to advocate for your teammates while building very close relationships and alignment with others (other Heads in particular).
• Excited by Doist’s mission to empower people with simple yet powerful tools. You’re moved by our vision to build a trustworthy, human, and affirming brand.
• Not afraid of ambiguity. You are great at planning ahead but are also pragmatic and able to quickly change course without getting flustered if new information arises.
• Committed to continuous learning and professional growth. As the Head of Marketing, you will not be “just a manager.” You’ll always have opportunities to sharpen your existing skills and learn new ones
