About us
We are Digital Science and we are advancing the research ecosystem.
We are a pioneering technology company, and our vision is of a future where a trusted and collaborative research ecosystem drives progress for all. We believe in better, open, collaborative and inclusive research. In creating the next generation of tools and working in partnership with the community we tackle some of the biggest challenges to research. In order to achieve our vision, we need innovative, inspiring and dynamic people to join our team. Want to join us?
Your new role - We're looking for a commercially-minded, full-stack Growth Manager to own acquisition and revenue growth across Overleaf & Readcube. This is a hands-on role: you'll direct our performance marketing agency (Cream) across Google Search, PMax, Meta and programmatic, while personally running our affiliate, referral and influencer programmes end to end. You live and breathe CAC:LTV, every channel, campaign and dollar of spend is judged against it; working in lockstep with our senior growth and commercial analyst to make sure tracking, attribution and reporting are airtight. You'll operate across the full acquisition mix, balancing agency-managed paid channels with in-house owned programmes, and you're equally comfortable setting strategy and getting into the weeds of campaign execution.
What you’ll be doing
- Manage our performance marketing agency (Cream), setting strategy and holding them accountable for output across Google Search, PMax, Meta and programmatic reviewing plans, challenging targeting and creative, and owning the commercial outcome of the relationship.
- Directly run and optimise our affiliate and referral programmes, from partner recruitment and commission structuring through to performance tracking and payout, treating them as core, cost-efficient acquisition channels rather than a side project.
- Build and manage influencer partnerships as a growth channel, identifying and negotiating with partners, tracking performance, and iterating based on ROI.
- Own acquisition targets across Overleaf and Readcube, managing budget allocation across agency-led and owned channels to hit CAC and revenue goals.
- Obsess over CAC:LTV - model it by channel and cohort, use it to guide investment decisions, and hold every programme (agency-run or in-house) to that standard.
- Partner closely with our senior growth and commercial analyst to ensure robust tracking, attribution and spend reconciliation across all channels; you're accountable for the numbers being right, not just for hitting them.
- Run structured testing; creative, audience, offer, channel mix and use the results to reallocate budget quickly.
- Report on performance to commercial and marketing leadership, connecting channel-level metrics to pipeline and revenue impact.
- Use AI tools to support campaign optimisation, creative testing, audience analysis and reporting
What you’ll bring to the role
- Proven experience running performance marketing across Google Search, PMax, Meta and programmatic, ideally with direct experience managing an external agency.
- Hands-on experience building and running affiliate and/or referral programmes, you've set up the mechanics yourself, not just briefed someone else to.
- Experience with influencer marketing as a measurable acquisition channel, not just brand awareness.
- A deeply commercial, numbers-first mindset, fluent in CAC, LTV, payback period, and comfortable being held accountable to them.
- Strong grip on attribution, tracking and analytics; experience working closely with a data/analytics partner to validate spend and results.
- Track record of managing meaningful budgets end-to-end, from allocation through to ROI reporting.
- Experience in subscription, SaaS or D2C businesses is valued; familiarity with academic, research or productivity tools is a plus.
- Comfortable operating without a large team, this role blends strategic ownership with direct execution.
We're looking for people who are naturally curious about AI and comfortable exploring how it can improve the way we work — you don't need to be an AI expert, but an openness to experiment and adapt is important to us.
