The team:

The Drift for Startups team is strong and scrappy. Our team members are passionate about helping startups succeed. We are a smaller 3 person team which means that you would get to work closely with all of us. We’re located all across the country, with teammates in Boston and Atlanta and we work together remotely. We prioritize learning, growing, and laughing with each other. We do our best work when we’re talking to customers and partners, learning from them, and then iterating on solutions to their problems.

Our startup plan offers a discounted version of Drift for companies with fewer than 50 employees who have less than $15M in funding. Our goal is to have startups see success using Drift with a much lower price. Check out the startup plan here.

 

In this role you will:

  • Improve and create copy that is sent to thousands of startups (marketing content, onboarding content, retention content)
  • Generate and execute on creative ways to increase awareness of the startup program.
  • Help onboard startups to the Drift platform through 1on1 customer calls and onboarding guides
  • Collaborate with our marketing team to develop, launch, and monitor marketing campaigns (paid ads, podcast, etc) 

 

About you and what type of skills you’ll need:

  • You are positive, creative, curious, and aren’t afraid to ask a lot of questions.
  • You enjoy working with others in a collaborative environment
  • You have prior marketing or social media experience
  • You have a low ego and are willing to get into the weeds to help our customers succeed.
  • You are passionate about startups and marketing.
  • You can take candid feedback well and are looking to grow your skill sets.
  • You are OK with multi-tasking and can synthesize multiple perspectives to get the most important thing done.
  • You are detail oriented and organized. 
  • You love to write.


Drift is committed to being an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate and support diversity, and work every day to create an inclusive work environment that represents the world that we live in.

An Insider's view of Drift

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Drift is a digital first environment, which means employees’ primary work experience is remote and Drifters can collaborate in “Conversation Spaces.” This allows us to focus on outcomes rather than time spent in the office. If we're hitting our goals, you are free to work hours that suit you, wherever suits you. It allows for the ultimate balance.

Kaitlyn

Marketing

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I feel really lucky because I get to work with the Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Ops team on a regular basis. We say "One team, one dream" un-ironically and are always willing to hop into anything that benefits the customer.

Sara

Conversational Marketing Specialist

What makes someone successful on your team?

Our leadership principles are the core of who we are and how we operate every day. Bringing these in to your actions, decisions, and how you deliver results is the surest way to be successful here. Walk the talk. Focus on the customer. Deliver results every single day.

Brit

Director of Learning and Development

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

Today, all of our lives run in real-time. As a result, our expectations for how we communicate with businesses have changed: we expect answers in real-time too. Customers have all of the power today, and that’s why we put a premium on how we’re treated. Businesses need to adapt to this shift in order to thrive today, and that’s what we focus on.

David

Executive Chairman, Co-Founder

What does your typical day look like?

While my days vary, it usually consists of connecting with customers to walk through their results and celebrate their wins, digging a bit deeper into what’s going on at their organization, and delivering recommendations on how they can achieve greater results. I also connect with Product to share what our customers are saying to help improve Drift

Customer Success Manager
