Growth Marketing Manager
About this role
HiO is a small, fast-moving AI company building a digital business partner for small business owners. The product watches customer conversations across Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, and email, then flags opportunities and items that need the owner’s attention. With a $16 million seed round raised, HiO is hiring its first growth marketer — someone who will own the growth engine end to end, from paid social and search with real budget accountability to SEO, landing-page conversion, referrals, and testing new channels while killing the underperformers. The role pays $140,000–$160,000 plus equity, is fully remote within the US on Eastern hours, and suits a hands-on marketer with five or more years in SaaS growth who has owned the full funnel themselves rather than executing someone else’s plan.
This listing sits in our Remote Jobs section and was posted on October 21, 2026.

- 5+ years in growth at a SaaS company, ideally SMB or product-led growth at seed or Series A stage
