Job Description

We’re looking for a dynamic Growth & Automation Manager to join our New Channels team at Forbes Advisor. This role is all about finding the biggest opportunities, removing blockers, and moving quickly to deliver results that make a real commercial impact.

You’ll be at the intersection of data, engineering, business development, product, and marketing—spotting untapped opportunities, driving initiatives forward, and ensuring we’re always making the right trade-offs between speed and detail.

If you thrive in environments where every day brings new challenges and the only constant is rapid, measurable progress, this role could be for you.

Responsibilities:

● Spot and validate high-impact opportunities for the New Channels team by backing up your recommendations with data-driven insights and commercial analysis.

● Turn great ideas into actionable plans—and own delivery from inception to launch, working hands-on to remove obstacles along the way.

● Automate processes using APIs, low-code tools, or quick scripting solutions to free up the team’s time and unlock new scale.

● Work closely with Data and Engineering to ensure our data is integrated, reliable, and ready to power smart decisions.

● Launch quick proof-of-concepts, measure their impact, and scale up the winners.

● Drive commercial outcomes: track and communicate the tangible revenue or margin delivered by your work.

● Accelerate new partner and category launches by streamlining workflows and clearing bottlenecks.

● Communicate complex technical and business trade-offs succinctly for a variety of audiences.

● Keep up with trends in paid digital channels (Meta, TikTok, Taboola, Outbrain, etc.) or quickly master new ones as needed.

Professional Competencies:

● Proven background in revenue optimization, solutions engineering, growth, operations, or strategy, with clear examples of projects that delivered measurable results.

● Strong proficiency within Excel/Google sheets - you are comfortable with smart integrations and macros

● Strong written and verbal communication skills — with the ability to tailor communications to different technical, operational, and executive audiences

● Strategic data mind for data pipelines, with the ability to leverage SQL using data warehouses like BigQuery and business intelligence tools such as Looker Studio to validate hypotheses and proactively suggest solutions to technical teams

● Comfortable building or automating within tools such as Slack, Zapier, and Airtable

● Comfortable working across paid channels like Meta, TikTok, Taboola, or Outbrain — or quick to pick them up.

● Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, changing environments and delivers without perfect conditions or complete instructions.

Success Measures:

● You’ve automated something big that frees up time and improves performance.

● You’ve delivered a project that adds meaningful revenue or margin.

● Partner or category launches run faster and smoother because of your work.

● The team has better, faster insight into performance thanks to what you’ve built.
