Marketing Manager, Always On

Who are we?

The Motley Fool is a purpose-driven financial services company on a mission to make the world smarter, happier, and richer. For 30 years we’ve been helping people make better investment decisions through transparency, education, and Foolish fun. We’re a fast-moving, collaborative team that values high-quality work, curiosity, and initiative. We care deeply about what we do, and we’re driven by the impact our work has on real people’s financial futures.

What does this team do?

Our Member Marketing team helps grow the business by connecting more members with the products, tools, and experiences that can make them smarter, happier, and richer. We sit at the intersection of growth, experimentation, member insight, and marketing performance.

We’re looking for an Always On Marketing Manager to help lead and scale one of our most important ongoing marketing programs.

What is “Always On”?

“Always On” means maintaining dynamic internal site ads, automated emails, targeted opportunities, and crafting experiences that deliver the right offers to the right members at the right time. This role is pivotal in driving significant revenue growth, with the zone projected to generate millions of dollars in campaign revenue. The right candidate will thrive in a highly entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and collaborative environment, eager to make a tangible impact on our company's growth trajectory.

What would you do in this role?

This role sits right in the middle of strategy and execution. You’ll be responsible for helping us identify where the biggest opportunities are within Always On—and then actually bringing them to life. We’re looking for someone who’s just as comfortable doing the work as they are shaping where it goes next.

Some days that means stepping back and thinking about how we should evolve the channel. Other days it means getting into the weeds—building campaigns, QA’ing ads, and figuring out what’s working (and what’s not).

The right person is a marketer first: someone with strong direct-response instincts, a sharp eye for performance, a genuine interest in financial services and investing, and real excitement about using AI and automation to work smarter.

More specifically, you would:

• Own day-to-day Always On marketing across site ads, order pages, automated campaigns, and targeted member experiences.
• Drive performance across high-volume member touchpoints through testing, targeting, optimization, and iteration.
• Identify and launch new opportunities, including new ad formats, video placements, triggered moments, mobile or app opportunities, and other emerging channels.
• Balance hands-on execution with strategic thinking by prioritizing the highest-impact work and turning ideas into live campaigns and experiences.
• Set up targeting, build campaigns, QA creative and offers, and manage the details that make programs successful.
• Use AI and automation to improve workflows, accelerate analysis, generate insights, support creative iteration, and help the team scale.
• Monitor performance closely and make thoughtful adjustments in real time to improve engagement, conversion, and revenue.
• Build strong systems for documenting tests, sharing learnings, and scaling what works.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Design, Copy, Business Intelligence, and Tech to bring campaigns and experiences to life.
• Work closely with internal tools and technical partners, including machine learning and algorithm-supported ad systems, while maintaining a high bar for setup accuracy and QA.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of experience in growth marketing, lifecycle marketing, performance marketing, retention/CRM, marketing operations, or a related role.
• Experience owning multi-channel marketing programs, ideally including onsite placements, automated messaging, email, upgrade flows, testing programs, or other direct-response environments.
• Strong direct-response instincts. You know what moves the needle.
• You enjoy learning how everything works so you can troubleshoot issues yourself or know who to go to for help.
• Genuine fluency with AI and automation. You already use AI in your day-to-day work and are excited about applying it thoughtfully to marketing problems.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
• Strong analytical skills and confidence using performance data to make decisions and prioritize work.
• Excellent project management and organizational skills, with a strong attention to detail.
• Experience managing complex campaigns and coordinating across multiple stakeholders.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, especially in cross-functional environments.
• A strong interest in investing and personal finance. Experience in financial services, fintech, investing, or a similarly data-driven subscription business is strongly preferred.
• Comfort with tools such as Braze, Segment, Google Analytics, Tableau, Jira, and similar marketing and analytics platforms.
• Prior people management is not required, but experience mentoring or coaching is a plus

Why this role is exciting

This is a chance to own and shape a growing, high-impact area of our marketing ecosystem. You’ll have the opportunity to influence strategy, improve member experiences, test new ideas, work with smart cross-functional partners, and help define how Always On evolves over time.

• Flexible, remote work environment (*see our open states above)
• No “vacation policy” (not to be confused with a “No vacation” policy)
• Generous fully-paid parental leave
• $1,000 annually to invest in stocks of your choice
• Super low premiums for medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Comprehensive compensation package, including company equity
