A little bit about us

The Growth Team is a business unit dedicated to our growth strategy and execution. It is a group of marketers, strategists, analysts and creatives that is obsessed with growth and owns our consumer strategy (which users we’re targeting), our brand strategy (what we stand for in the market), our marketing strategy (how we drive users to our products), our growth model (the data behind how we grow) and associated set of growth tactics. The Growth Team is in the unique position of getting to work with every team in the company -- from product and engineering to content designers, data analysts and senior leadership to actively drive growth.

The Paperless Post Data team plays a crucial role in our product’s success. It gets to dive into advanced data work—from machine learning to visualization, classifier creation to ETL pipelines—that solve complex business problems and increase the functional capabilities of everyone throughout the company. On the reporting side, it helps ensure that all teams have the information they need to make sound business decisions. Above all, it’s a team that is excited about what they do.

Company-wide we enjoy an amazing ecosystem of an even gender split and healthy balance of engineers and designers.
