Senior Manager, Growth Marketing, Operations
About this Role
Strava is the app for active people. With over 150 million athletes in more than 185 countries, Strava is where connection, motivation, and personal bests thrive. No matter your activity, gear, or goals, we help you find your crew, crush your milestones, and keep moving forward. Start your journey with Strava today.
Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.
We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Growth Marketing, Operations to lead the systems, tools, and processes that power Strava’s Growth Marketing organization. This role supports the Acquisition, Retention, and MarTech teams—bringing structure, clarity, and executional excellence to high-impact marketing work.
This person will own key operational workflows, streamline cross-functional collaboration, and accelerate time-to-launch for our campaigns and experiments. If you're excited by the opportunity to build, scale, and simplify how great work gets done, we’d love to meet you.
We follow a flexible hybrid model that generally translates to around half your time on-site in our New York office —roughly three days per week.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the end-to-end marketing operations workflow for Growth Marketing, including sprint planning, prioritization, and project execution.
- Build and refine scalable systems and tools (Asana, Airtable, etc.) to increase visibility, reduce manual work, and improve collaboration across teams.
- Act as a key cross-functional partner to Product, Brand, Creative, and Data, ensuring seamless coordination and delivery of marketing initiatives.
- Optimize campaign timelines and experimentation cycles, helping the team move faster without sacrificing quality or accuracy.
- Oversee vendor relationships and support operational needs related to agency onboarding, management, and integration.
- Help establish self-serve, automated workflows and process documentation to drive efficiency and empower internal partners.
What you’ll bring to the team:
- A builder’s mindset. You enjoy creating structure from ambiguity and have experience standing up processes that scale—especially in evolving orgs.
- Clear operational thinking. You break complex problems into simple workflows and design systems that boost clarity, speed, and consistency across the team.
- Strategic influence. You know how to align stakeholders around shared priorities, balancing business needs with team bandwidth and marketing goals.
- Marketing fluency. You understand the realities of lifecycle, CRM, and paid media—and translate that into better tools, timelines, and team rituals.
- Executional ownership. You don’t just build the roadmap—you help drive it forward. You roll up your sleeves, spot issues before they escalate, and ensure the work gets over the line.
- Calm confidence. You bring steadiness to the team, especially during pivots or fast-changing priorities, helping everyone stay focused on impact.
We’re excited about you because you have:
- 6-8 years of experience in Marketing Operations or a related function
- Hands-on experience with project and workflow tools like Asana, Airtable, and/or Jira
- Strong understanding of CRM, lifecycle, or paid acquisition marketing workflows
- A track record of improving systems, increasing speed-to-launch, and building scalable processes from the ground up
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills; able to influence teams and drive alignment without formal authority
- Ability to stay focused, steady, and solutions-oriented in a fast-paced environment
- Bonus: Experience managing agencies or marketing vendors
