Growth Lead
About the job
Does this sound like you?
You have experience in an established and effective marketing team.
And you’ve thrived in roles working as a generalist, wearing many hats.
Now you’re eager to apply these insights and level up, building a marketing function that amplifies a young, aspirational brand that’s already making ripples as a force for good.
But you have a few non-negotiables:
- You want to work remotely, with flexible part-time hours (min 3 days/week)
- You crave greater meaning, purpose, and impact in your work
- You’re hungry to lead, with lots of autonomy over strategy, team, and budget.
Sound like you?
Forever Projects has an exciting new role that can tick all of these boxes!

Role Summary
Forever Projects is on the hunt for a strategic, yet savvy Growth Lead. Someone who is ready to supercharge a non-profit (though we think of ourselves as a startup!). Reporting to the founder, you will have the autonomy to build and own the marketing strategy, with oversight over budget and our creative team.
We are looking for a marketer who can identify, understand and create value for our key audience and make assertions on how to reach more people like them. This person will turn this data into outputs by working with our creative team to initiate, execute, and analyse new growth loops.
This kind of modern marketer embraces the tension between art and science, with a healthy dose of creative curiosity and an appetite for analytics. It’s someone who will take a risk once they have sufficient data regarding new/existing donors, content, and channels.
Our ideal candidate already possesses the above qualities and has experience applying them to generate demand across the funnel. You have a strategic vision, with the capacity to see the big picture as you make growth hypotheses. But just as importantly, you have an appetite to get into the weeds and execute, recognising the value of insights gained by being close to donors. And of course, you’re comfortable and skilled at collaborating cross-functionally, leading a small and agile team of contractors (design, copywriting, videography, and community management).
What you’ll do
Develop a B2C marketing strategy that grows our digital fundraising segments by a minimum of 50% YOY throughout 2023-24 (for context, we grew 30% YOY in FY20-21)
- Set the annual growth strategy for marketing campaigns
- Refine our target audience, personas and create segmentation frameworks
- Develop and manage full-funnel experiments and optimise channel plans
- Improve and own lead generation and acquisition tactics
- Make data-driven decisions via experimentation and analytics frameworks
- Find areas for improvement and optimisation across customer lifecycle journeys
- Determine and manage the budget for creative and paid media
- Research and integrate marketing tools
More about you
- Align with Forever Projects mission and values
- Agile and continuously iterating and executing on ideas to maximise impact
- Curious and determined, with the confidence to see opportunities and make decisions
- In-house expert on marketing, researching trends, integrating fresh insights and tools
- A great collaborator, with the ability to communicate clearly
- Able to pivot thinking and ideas to align with Forever Projects’ changes and evolution
What’s in it for you?
- A caring, high-trust culture
- Flexible hours, 100% remote
- Work collaboratively with a purpose-driven organisation
- Despite being a charity, we pay well!
- Working with an aspirational brand
- Support from skilled volunteers at unicorns like Canva & Atlassian
- Access to a dynamic team of creatives
- Create a springboard to your next role
- Build your network in the startup ecosystem
