What are the responsibilities and job description for the Growth Marketing Manager position at Texas Coffee School?
GROWTH MARKETING MANAGER | ARLINGTON, TEXAS | Full Time | On-Site
YOU'VE BEEN THE ONE DOING THE WORK. NOW OWN THE OUTCOME.
You've built campaigns that generated revenue, not just impressions. You've written emails people actually opened, analyzed funnels, and figured out where they leaked. You've done it with limited resources because that's how it works at your company. And yet the role you're in doesn't match what you're capable of. You want ownership, not tasks. You want to see the direct line between what you do and what the business earns.
At Texas Coffee School, you'll own two mandates from day one: fill more seats in our classes and build the systems that turn our alumni into a long-term revenue channel. Enrollment growth is the immediate priority. The alumni engagement system is a parallel build you'll design and develop as you get established. As you integrate and prove your capabilities, the role expands into full ownership of the marketing function. This growth path is structured and intentional. You won't be asked to do everything immediately. You will be expected to grow into everything over time.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Texas Coffee School is the nationally recognized leader in coffee business education. Since 2010, we've helped entrepreneurs across all 50 states open and grow profitable, independent coffee businesses. More than 750 coffee shops have opened as a direct result of our training. We have a growing alumni base, a flagship product many graduates call "life-changing," and significant room to grow. What we don't have is a dedicated in-house marketing person turning all of that into its full potential.
THE ROLE
This is a demand generation and alumni engagement role at a small, high-performing company. You'll work directly with the founder and CEO, a former award-winning advertising creative director with decades of experience in brand strategy, messaging, and consumer psychology. That means a real seat at the table, direct influence on business decisions, and the kind of hands-on mentorship in marketing and business strategy that most mid-level roles at bigger companies will never offer you. You'll own the marketing strategy for class enrollment growth, coordinate execution across internal team members and external contractors, and build a post-graduation engagement system that doesn't currently exist. External contractors handle paid media and content today. You'll own the strategy across all efforts from the start, with a clear path toward managing content, social, and paid media directly as the role expands.
Every class you help fill puts someone on the path to building a business that changes their life and the community they serve.
SCHEDULE
Monday through Friday. On-site at our Arlington, TX facility. Rarely exceeds 40 hours per week. You'll work from our training facility alongside the training team, in an environment where you can see the direct impact of your work every class day.
