Director of Growth and Marketing

Currently is a weather service for the climate emergency. Our mission is to cultivate timely and accurate weather information that supports community resilience and safety. We work to illuminate possible paths toward a liberated, habitable and joyful future for people and the environment alike. In addition to daily weather newsletters in 20+ cities around the world, our original journalism focuses on climate justice and our full-service weather service provides timely meteorological services to individuals, businesses, and nonprofits. 

But we're just getting started. Our new director of growth and marketing will help us reach a much larger audience around the world. The successful candidate will be adaptable and data-and-insights driven; they will use test-and-learn discipline and agile methods to move quickly, and be eager to work with and across a cross-functional team.

We’ve seen massive surges of interest in our services in advance of major weather events, so the successful candidate must be able to coordinate with our editorial, partnerships, and weather teams to anticipate opportunities to help audiences discover our services when they are most valuable. 

Additionally, the successful candidate will help us identify, build, and monetize new audiences.
