At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We're looking for a Head of Customer Referral & Emerging Channels to join our Demand Generation team, responsible for driving qualified pipeline and customer growth across all channels. As a key member of our team, you'll lead a team of sharp marketers who genuinely care about the small businesses we serve.
\nKey responsibilities include:
\nManaging and developing the growth marketing team, setting clear goals, providing coaching, and fostering a culture of accountability and innovation.
\nOwning and evolving Gusto's customer referral program from strategy and incentive design, to measurement and optimization, driving meaningful new customer acquisition and revenue through word-of-mouth and network effects.
\nBuilding and running a rigorous experimentation roadmap, using advanced testing and data analysis to identify growth levers and scale what works.
\nScouting, piloting, and scaling emerging acquisition channels, bringing rigor to what gets tested and moving quickly from hypothesis to results.
\nPartnering with the Web Marketing team to surface and prioritize conversion experiments, translating referral and emerging channel performance data into landing page hypotheses and post-click optimizations that improve acquisition outcomes.
\nPartnering cross-functionally with Growth, Product, Sales, RevOps, and Data teams to align growth programs with business priorities and optimize the full funnel from awareness to activation.
\nUsing AI tools as a consistent, habitual part of your workflow, generating referral program briefs, developing incentive copy variants, accelerating channel research, and building reusable systems that scale best practices across the team.
\nReporting on program performance to senior leadership, distilling complex data into clear insights and concrete recommendations.
\nWe're looking for someone with 10+ years of experience in growth marketing, demand generation, or performance marketing, with at least 3 years in a people management role. You should have demonstrated success building and scaling customer acquisition programs (referral, affiliate, and/or word-of-mouth) from concept to measurable growth. Additionally, you should have working knowledge of paid acquisition channels (SEM, paid social, ABM, etc.) and a strong grasp of full-funnel growth strategy.
