THE OPPORTUNITY
To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for a Group Manager, Brand Advertising to join our Acquisition Growth Team. This role will own the strategy, budget, and execution of our top-of-funnel and brand advertising investment across Grammarly and Superhuman.
As Group Manager, Brand Advertising, you will lead a team of brand advertising marketers and a bench of media and creative agencies, helping to shape how our fast-evolving, multi-brand portfolio shows up across top-of-funnel channels.
- Own the ToF/brand media plan and budget. Set annual and campaign-level allocation (~$XXM/year) across TV, streaming/CTV, OOH, YouTube/digital video, influencer, and audio; continue testing new or emerging channels. Manage and optimize those budgets effectively, allocating budgets across brands, channels, audiences, markets, and campaigns to improve ROI and support brand and growth targets.
- Oversee agency and contractor relationships for brand advertising and media. Direct partners and agencies on portfolio strategy, creative execution, media efficiency, and reporting.
- Adapt the brand story across a multi-brand portfolio. Translate evolving positioning across Grammarly, Superhuman Mail, Docs, and Go, as well as newly acquired brands, into channel-specific campaigns (e.g., Back-to-School, Superhuman Awareness, Professionals) that stay consistent as the portfolio shifts.
- Prove ToF is working. Partner with Data Science/Measurement on incrementality (GeoX), media-mix modeling, and brand-lift studies (Ipsos, UXMR) to validate spend and reallocate against what's working.
- Build the strategic frameworks the function runs on. Drive the investment strategy and playbook for multi-brand and multi-product top-of-funnel investment. Set guidelines for working with business unit leaders .
- Collaborate closely with internal teams, including brand creative, data science, and product marketing, to ensure alignment of our ad initiatives with overall business objectives and messaging.
- Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of brand advertising marketers, providing guidance, support, and professional development opportunities to ensure the team's success.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years in brand/ToF media, with direct experience across channels such as TV, streaming/CTV, OOH, digital video, influencer, and audio.
- Track record owning $XXM+ in annual media budget, including agency management and vendor negotiation.
- Experience managing a portfolio of brands or products under one house of brand, and adapting messaging as positioning shifts.
- Direct creative production experience (agency-side or client-side): comfortable in scripts, storyboards, and cuts, not just media plans.
- Working fluency in incrementality and brand-lift measurement (e.g., geo experiments, media-mix modeling); can translate results into creative and media decisions.
- Team management experience, and can flex between channel management and strategic planning.
