Growth Lead (Head of SEM)

At any given time, 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. But today, most never get it. 

Atticus makes it easy for any sick or injured person in crisis to get the life-changing aid they deserve. In the last 6 years, we’ve become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits. We also help victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence get compensation from insurance. So far, we’ve gotten thousands of people access to over $4B in life-changing aid, and we’re just getting started.

We've helped more than 110,000 people in need (see our 13,000+ five-star reviews) and raised more than $100 million from top VC firms like Fika, Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures. (We closed our Series C round in April 2025, so we're well-funded for the foreseeable future.) We're small but moving fast — our team grew from 89 to over 151 last year, and we expect to grow again in 2025.

Growing the number of clients we serve at Atticus is one of the hardest and most rewarding things we do. Because the legal marketing space is highly competitive and heavily regulated, we seek innovative ways to reach our clients during the biggest crises of their lives while also setting Atticus apart from sketchy billboard lawyers and sell-your-info schemes.

The Growth Lead role mixes traditional marketing and acquisition (testing new strategies, managing campaigns, gathering and analyzing data) with responsibilities unique to a quickly scaling a tech company (scaling channels, working with product leaders to tailor our UX to different audiences, and building our data infrastructure). In a typical week, you might do any or all of the following:

• Own and develop comprehensive paid search strategies for growing our client acquisition machine as we scale Atticus from Series B to owning the market; launch, monitor, and optimize new marketing campaigns on paid search channels

• Drive new channel expansion 

• Drive data-driven innovation through constant performance measurement tests

• Conduct keyword research, competitive analysis, and audience targeting to identify growth opportunities and mitigate risks.

• Work with Product and Engineering teams to tailor client product experience to the needs of our unique audience, including designing and building landing pages for our paid search audiences

• Partner with our content team to drive our paid search ad development process

• Leverage contractors or agencies as needed to augment our internal capabilities

The role is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing Series C startup in a position that mixes growth marketing execution and innovation, encourages mentorship from leaders across a variety of disciplines, and prioritizes autonomy to shape our acquisition strategy as we scale.

Required:

• You’ve spent 3+ years at a top digital advertising agency since graduating college and have been promoted because of your stellar performance.

• You have strong quantitative analytical skills and are comfortable working in data analytics platforms and data visualization software

• You’re an ambitious self-starter. You thrive in ambiguous environments and enjoy a strategic challenge.

• You’re a kind and thoughtful colleague who knows how to shape a great team culture and thoughtfully analyze data and communicate insights

• You have a demonstrated commitment to doing good and helping people

Bonus / Nice-to-Have:

• Experience using Looker, SQL, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager

• Experience using Google and Bings Ads and have a track record of improving paid media campaigns. 

• Experience using digital marketing platforms (e.g., Google and Bings Ads) and have a track record of improving paid media campaigns

• Experience designing and producing digital ads

We are strongly committed to building a diverse team. If you’re from a background that’s underrepresented in tech, we’d love to meet you.

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding, well-respected backers, tremendous growth, and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture.

We’re a certified B Corporation tackling a critical social problem. Our mission to help people in need drives everything we do, and your work here will touch many lives.

We offer competitive pay — including equity — and generous benefits:

• Medical and dental insurance with 100% of employee premiums covered

• 15 vacation days & ~19 paid holidays each year (including two weeks at end-of-year)

• Free membership to OneMedical

• $600/year reimbursable stipend for internet service

• $1,000 reimbursable stipend for education and training outside of work

• Up to $1,200/year student loan repayment assistance

• 401(k) and optional HSA/FSA

• Humble, thoughtful, smart, fun colleagues 

We anticipate the base salary band for this role will be between $130,000 to $155,000 in addition to equity and benefits. The salary at offer will be determined by a number of factors such as candidate’s experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team.

This job is fully remote and we’re committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Live wherever, work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues —somewhere between quarterly and yearly. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather.
