Yardstik Director of Marketing

 

Who we are

 

Yardstik is on an impressive growth trajectory, experiencing a remarkable 400% year-over-year expansion. As we consistently roll out innovative products that resonate with our customers, our mission to make a positive impact is gaining momentum. However, our journey has only just begun, and we are looking for passionate individuals like you to join us on this exciting path. At Yardstik, we are pioneering a groundbreaking category of software dedicated to assisting companies engaged in high-volume hiring to elevate their Trust and Safety programs. Our platform seamlessly integrates traditional screening solutions with cutting-edge identity verification, fraud detection tools, ongoing compliance workflows, and much more.

 

Our customers are the brands you know and love that magically make groceries show up on your doorstep, tackle those pesky tasks around your house, and deliver that dinner you didn’t have time to make at home. There is a strong community forming around Yardstik and we have a ton of exciting product features in the roadmap. Your job as Yardstik’s Director of Marketing will be to lead us to new heights as we grow the brand and build the marketing org.

 

 

About the role

 

In this role, you will take the reigns of our marketing org. We are a small scrappy bunch but specialize in punching above our weight. You will lead the team, own our relationships with multiple agency partners, and be a front-line contributor.  Our core focus is to grow our audience/community, amplify our content strategy, explore fresh avenues for distribution, double down on events, experiment with innovative channels, and test novel strategies within existing ones. Ultimately, your success in this position will be measured by the growth of our brand, the successful growth of our marketing team, and our ability to build great fit pipeline. 

 

 

Specifically, we’ll ask that you:

 

Lead from the front

We’re an early-stage company. It’s everyone’s job to take the garbage out when it gets full. Expect about 75% of the role out of the gates to be executing in the trenches. 

 

Lead from the back

Leading and developing great people and great talent should be in your DNA. We love that you can catch us some fish. But teach us all how to fish and we can feed this whole dang company. 

 

Think bigger

Now, more than ever, it’s insanely hard to stand out. Markets are crowded and buyers have become immune to most traditional tactics. Help us find new ways to make a splash. 

 

Keep the main thing the main thing

Not all marketing efforts can be easily attributed to the outcomes that matter. But all great marketing leaders understand the bottom-line goals and hold themselves and their teams accountable to those measures.  

 

Be Guided by data

You are comfortable with spreadsheets, can run pipeline projections and closed-won deal analyses, communicate what’s working, what isn’t and WHY. 

 

 

Who you are:

  • You default to action and solving problems

  • You love to lead, grow, and develop talent

  • You’re skilled at data analysis and love getting into the numbers

  • You thrive in a highly autonomous, high-output work environment

  • You’re comfortable with a high level of visibility, owning a number, and working directly with senior leadership

  • Previous experience at a B2B SaaS

  • 5+ years experience in B2B growth marketing/demand generation

  • Experience with Hubspot, Salesforce, and other marketing point solutions

  • Experience in organic & paid strategies within channels such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.
