About Savi

Do you want to make a serious impact in the lives of others? Savi is the leading financial technology startup working to solve the student debt crisis. Our mission is to help the 46+ million student loan borrowers better understand their debt, find federal forgiveness programs, and manage the paperwork and complexity of enrolling.

We're looking for people who have the desire to build meaningful products and the drive to do great work as part of a team. Based in DC, Savi has been featured in the New York Times, TIME, and Inc., and has some of the top fintech and social impact investors in the country. Savi is growing quickly, and our clients include Fortune 500 employers, financial institutions, and the nation’s largest membership groups, who use our platform to help their employees and members better manage their student loans and save money.

The Role

We’re looking for a highly-motivated and ambitious self-starter to lead our growth marketing function at Savi.

This is the opportunity to scale an end-to-end marketing funnel aimed squarely at helping people take control over their student loans. More specifically, it’ll be your job to develop, test, iterate, and rapidly grow a channel development strategy that goes beyond “just” email or a few online ads. This is an area of investment for Savi, so we’re excited to try new things and are expanding our team by hiring for this lead role as a combination player/coach.

Because we employ a B2B2C business model, you’ll have the opportunity to apply levers at every point in the funnel - from the initial partner onboarding, to webinars branding Savi as we push for user uptake, to ads and emails aimed at getting users to finish the application so they can save money and get their paperwork in order. This is the chance to get in on the ground floor of an exciting startup tackle a major problem for borrowers nationwide.

About You:

• Borrowers owe over $1.7 trillion on their student loans, so we’ve got a lot of people to help, and quickly. We’re looking for someone who shares that urgency and is ready to take on ownership of a huge entrepreneurial opportunity to help millions of people save money.

• You’re experienced and successful (3-5 years) at using direct-response tactics to get people to take action. That may be B2C or B2B2C marketing, campaigns, digital advocacy - but at its core, you’re good at capturing people’s attention on the internet and getting them to take the next step.

• You can easily see the forest and the trees - you’re great at on-the-ground execution but especially excel at creating, communicating, implementing, and scaling a vision that turns those tactics into a transformative multi-channel winner for the business.

• You’re decisive about doubling down on what’s working, cutting loose what isn’t, and relentlessly A/B testing, iterating, and improving everything you touch.

• You’re familiar with typical marketing tools - ideally Customer.io , HubSpot, and Metabase, but similar experience will do - to build and track campaigns.

• Leverage customer and data insights to identify opportunities for new segmentation strategies. Analyze Savi's customer base to identify accounts with growth potential.

• Oversee strategy for new user journeys to optimize conversion.

• Build and maintain growth forecasts and models, tracking funnel metrics and continuously optimizing to ensure we hit our growth targets.
