About the Role
The Senior Manager, Growth Marketing (Performance) owns the paid and conversion side of growth - getting more of the right people to try Sarvam, activate, and convert, efficiently and at scale. This role owns paid acquisition, conversion-rate optimisation, lifecycle, and the experimentation that turns spend into signups, usage, and revenue. The mandate is measurable: drive efficient, compounding growth where every rupee and experiment is accountable to outcomes. This person works closely with Product, Sales, and Analytics to move users through the funnel - from paid acquisition through activation, retention, and expansion. They own the performance channels and the conversion levers, and partner with the Organic counterpart on shared funnel, experimentation, and analytics.
What You’ll Do
- PLG funnel conversion. Own conversion across the developer journey: signup → first successful API call → habitual usage → paid conversion → team expansion. Instrument it, experiment on it, and compound it.
- Paid acquisition. Own performance marketing across paid search, paid social, display, and other paid channels. Manage budgets with discipline and optimise toward quality signups and revenue, not clicks.
- Conversion-rate optimisation. Own the conversion levers across landing pages, signup flows, and paywalls. Continuously test and improve the steps that turn visitors into activated, paying users.
- Activation & onboarding. Design onboarding, in-product nudges, and lifecycle programs that move developers from signup to first call to habit to revenue. Reduce time-to-value at every step.
- Retention & expansion. Own the levers that keep users active and grow accounts — lifecycle messaging, re-engagement, retargeting, and the signals that predict churn and expansion.
- Experimentation. Run a continuous program of growth experiments across acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention. Maintain a backlog, ship fast, measure honestly, and double down on what compounds.
- Attribution & budget. Own attribution for paid and lifecycle programs and the efficiency of spend. Know your CAC, payback, and LTV, and report them honestly.
- Analytics & instrumentation. Define the performance metrics that matter, instrument the product and funnel to capture them, and build the dashboards the team runs on. Partner with Organic on a shared funnel view.
- AI-native workflows. Use AI across creative, targeting, copy, and analysis to compress every cycle and run a leveraged, low-overhead performance motion.
What We're Looking For
- 7 - 10 years in growth or performance marketing, with hands-on ownership of a PLG or self-serve funnel
- Hands-on expertise running paid acquisition across search, social, and display, with clear attribution and disciplined budget management
- Strong experimentation discipline; you design, run, and read experiments rigorously and act on the results
- Comfort with analytics and instrumentation; you define metrics, pull your own data, and know your CAC, payback, and LTV
- Experience marketing to developers or technical buyers with quantified outcomes
- Fluent in modern AI tools for creative, targeting, content, and analytics
Bonus Points
- Experience driving paid conversion for an API, SDK, or open-weight/open-source model
- Experience with conversion-rate optimisation and lifecycle/retention tooling at depth
- Experience at a founder-led or early-stage company where the performance motion had to be built from scratch
- Familiarity with both a self-serve developer motion and an enterprise sales motion running side by side
- Experience managing or mentoring performance, lifecycle, or analytics contributors
