Growth Marketer

Ready to fuel the growth of our video platform?


Uscreen is a leading video-on-demand platform in a rapidly expanding video monetization market.  Our model is designed to empower content creators and businesses leveraging the power of video to create a predictable, sustainable revenue stream. We’re looking for a talented growth marketer to help us find alternative routes to reach, educate and convert more prospects.

You’ll get to work with our team of incredibly passionate, smart, supportive, skilled people who are open to learning and happy to take constructive criticism and use it to level up. We’re looking for someone who can match that energy and help us scale.

ABOUT THE ROLE:
As our growth champion, your role will be to help us reach new audiences by finding creative ways to get the Uscreen story out into the world. This means our ideal candidate is a true ‘pusher’, able to take advantage of any and all avenues for growth, including establishing and maintaining partnerships and working with existing 3rd-party vendors to identify growth opportunities.

We’re looking for a self-starter with an inquiring mind and love for product growth marketing. Technical aptitude is required, as well as the ability to quickly grasp the ins-and-outs of our solution is imperative. We constantly release new features and understanding them in detail will help you find new ways to position them, and our product, for growth. 

You have to be comfortable with scrutinizing data and asking tough questions to find ways to deliver results. You must have developed organizational skills, and all decisions you make need to be based on data that either supports or challenges how we position our brand in favor of experiencing more growth. Quality over quantity is a mantra of the marketing team, but for the Growth Marketer position, this can definitely bend depending on the data and opportunities. 

While you’ll be working with limited resources, we have a talented marketing team (with an SEO specialist) ready to support you.

You’ll report directly to the CEO and will also work closely with other department heads to identify gaps and develop growth strategies.

REQUIREMENTS:

General tasks: 
  • Interact with relevant brands and influencers from the industry to build relationships

  • Generate leads from referred traffic from partner sites and applications, forums and social media platforms.
  • Consistently looking for new ways of distribution & creating awareness.

Sales Development:
  • Experiment with outbound campaigns, including:
  • Design, run and measure the right experiments to optimize conversion rates from demand generation efforts 
  • Convert qualified leads (SQLs) 
  • Generate demo appointments for the customer success team
  • Increase signup to demo rate and demo attendance
  • Expanding Marketing and sales ops

  • Being able to communicate by synthesizing complex topics in a simple and crisp way. 
  • Be able to paint the picture on how to push beautiful end-to-end experiences for users. 

Analytical skills:

  • Excellent analytical skills for metrics and conversion rates. 
  • Understanding on how to measure both inputs and outputs of marketing efforts. 
  • Experience with marketing automation tools, analytics tools, and dashboards 

Management skills:
  • Experience working remotely is a big plus but not a deal-breaker
  • Experience achieving goals by managing a team. 
  • Experience outsourcing tasks (video creation, writing, content, ads, data gathering, etc). 

EXPERIENCE:

  • 3+ years of experience in relevant demand generation positions in the software industry 
  • Proven track record of hitting or exceeding goals 
  • Experience working with marketing automation and sales enablement tools 

PROFILE

  • You are highly organized & autonomous

BENEFITS:

  • Full-time (40 hours per week). We want to make it clear that this is NOT a freelance / part-time position you can do in tandem with other professional endeavors
  • Amazing, young and motivated team
  • Work from anywhere (OK, almost anywhere…), as long as you have regular overlap with Eastern Time business hours and can schedule overlap with Pacific Time business hours when needed for customer calls.
  • 20 paid days off per year (eligible after the first 3 months with the company)
  • Budget for personal development

ABOUT Uscreen:
Uscreen is the world’s leading video monetization platform. We help thousands of creators, entrepreneurs, fitness trainers, coaches, entertainment companies and various other experts launch their own video-on-demand streaming service and make money selling videos online.  We are a lean startup but are fully independent, privately held and profitable.

We are a SaaS company with an agile, but structured environment. Uscreen is a remote-first company, with our team members distributed across the world. However, we do have rules and guidelines set in place to make sure everyone is delivering their best work and maintains an overlap with the rest of the key members of the team.

HOW TO APPLY:
  • Apply using the link below
  • We review the applications and email candidates who qualify for the second round

Customer Happiness Agent


Nathan James is looking for a Customer Happiness Agent to join our team and embrace its mission to provide world class customer service and create customer delight.



We are a design-first, home furnishing company focusing on the habits of urban dwellers and first time home buyers. We pride ourselves on the best in class customer happiness, providing the highest possible quality products that are affordable for the majority and assembly that isn’t dreadful.





ABOUT THE ROLE:

Our Customer Happiness Agents are responsible for providing world class customer service and support via email, phone and sms for customers who purchased Nathan James products directly from our website or from our retail customers like Amazon and Wayfair. You’ll help us answer product questions on our retail customer’s website, 3rd party websites, and from inbound inquiries. You’ll also have ample opportunities to develop new and improve existing processes that further our mission in creating customer happiness and delight.





We expect our Customer Happiness Agents to be well-versed in basic conflict resolution techniques that resolve problems and turn lemons into lemonade. We also make it easier for you to resolve conflicts, because we surprise every customer who contacts us with a problem by sending them a box of premium chocolates following resolution of their issue.





During training, you’ll be expected to be proactive in your process and learn quickly. Once fully up-to-speed (2-3 months), you’ll write about 20-30 emails per day. This is a significant volume, so be sure that you’re ready and able to deal with that kind of daily load — you’ll get all the support and guidance you need along the way!





ABOUT US:

We have a rhythm to our work and a very low turnover rate — we have yet to have a single team member opt-out. Your voice matters to us. We make change from fresh perspectives and appreciate new viewpoints, so you should feel comfortable speaking up about your values and goals.

ABOUT YOU: 

We’re looking for some great writers and clear speakers who love helping people, so you should enjoy making frustrating situations simple and painless. This means being a great problem-solver with the ability to process and resolve issues quickly. You should be a stellar communicator, even when you have to communicate less-than-stellar news. You should have highly tuned senses of compassion and empathy and a drive to constantly help others.





You love supporting people and being an internal advocate for the customer. This isn’t a springboard into another area at Nathan James. You want to be a part of our support team for a while, and you’re excited to contribute to making Nathan James the best in class customer happiness brand.





We would like to see a minimum of three years experience in similar, consumer goods customer support roles. While it is not required, it is strongly preferred that your previous experience was within an eCommerce company or division. You may have a degree or you might not. That’s not what we’re looking for. We care about what you can do and how you do it.





This position has a shift requirement of 9am EST - 5pm EST (UTC -5:00), Tuesday to Saturday.





BENEFITS & PERKS:
