Summary
Yelp's mission is to connect people with great local businesses. As a trusted source of information on local business, millions of people turn to Yelp every day to make decisions about where to spend their money — from where to eat, shop or stay, to which home or local service provider to use, and beyond.
Yelp’s Growth Marketing team is dedicated to driving user acquisition, activation, and long-term engagement across the full consumer lifecycle. As a Senior Growth Marketing Manager, you will lead the strategies and hands-on execution for consumer retention and re-engagement across our Services and Restaurant, Food & Nightlife (RFN) verticals. You will focus on developing mid and lower-funnel marketing strategies that drive repeat engagement, feature adoption, and revenue growth.
In this highly cross-functional role, you will partner closely with Marketing Operations, Growth Science, Creative Design, Marketing Technology, and Product teams to build and optimize lifecycle programs. You will develop cross-sell strategies between verticals, accelerate impact for new product launches, and increase reach and engagement with high-intent users. We are looking for a data-driven strategist and hands-on executor who is passionate about understanding user behavior, identifying growth opportunities, and delivering measurable business impact through personalized, channel-optimized marketing.
Our team is passionate about data, experimentation, and the power of new technology, including AI, to drive innovation. We are especially interested in candidates who bring direct experience with lifecycle or growth marketing at scale, and who demonstrate curiosity and enthusiasm for leveraging AI and emerging technologies to advance marketing effectiveness.

- Partner with Marketing Technology and Operations teams to build new marketing capabilities, behavioral signals, and channel optimizations that will drive engagement and revenue.
- Develop and execute cross-sell strategies to drive awareness and engagement across the Services and RFN verticals, building experimentation plans to meet revenue goals and executing across core growth channels.

- Launch audience expansion experiments to grow reach by increasing channel opt-in and improve campaign effectiveness.
