About the Company At Scribd Inc. (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. We create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our four products: Everand, Scribd, Slideshare, and Fable.
We support a culture where employees can be real and bold, debate and commit, embrace plot twists, and prioritize the customer. Flexibility and community are core to our approach; our Scribd Flex benefit lets employees choose a work style that best suits them while prioritizing intentional in-person moments for collaboration, culture, and connection. Occasional in-person attendance is required for all employees, regardless of location.
We hire for “GRIT” – the intersection of passion and perseverance toward long‑term goals. This means showcasing the ability to set and achieve Goals, Results, Innovative ideas, and a positive, collaborative Team attitude.
About the Role Growth at Scribd is a system, not just campaigns. You’ll lead a business‑critical platform team inside Growth Engineering, building systems and integrations that enable efficient go‑to‑market execution: landing pages, campaign tooling, tracking and attribution, audience segmentation, experimentation support, and third‑party MarTech integrations.
You’ll partner closely with Product, Performance Marketing, Partnerships, Data Platform, and Analytics to build reliable foundations and translate growth strategy into high‑leverage technical capabilities. This is a high‑ownership leadership role for an engineering manager who is both people‑first and deeply technical.
What You’ll Do
Lead the engineering strategy and execution for Scribd’s Growth Platform across acquisition enablement, promotional offer support, audience segmentation, and lifecycle marketing integrations.
Build and manage a high‑performing full‑stack team, developing engineers while cultivating accountability, inclusion, and continuous learning.
Remain deeply technical: act as an architectural and execution partner, driving thoughtful system design, pragmatic tradeoffs, and sustainable delivery.
Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business goals into roadmaps, prioritize investments, and deliver high‑impact initiatives across multiple brands and channels.
Lead integrations with paid media platforms and third‑party data exchange tooling to support conversion tracking, offline/online event feeds, audience sync, and campaign measurement.
Own cross‑channel measurement foundations: champion reliable instrumentation, telemetry, attribution quality, and data‑informed decision making with Analytics.
Drive vendor decisions across the MarTech stack – evaluating tools, designing integrations, and ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable.
Champion engineering excellence in reliability, scalability, code quality, testing, and continuous delivery so Growth teams can move fast with confidence.
What We’re Looking For Must‑Haves
7+ years of engineering experience, including 3–5+ years in engineering management, leading high‑performing teams delivering customer‑facing or platform systems.
Demonstrated growth impact: led teams whose work measurably improved conversion, retention, engagement, and/or LTV (ideally in subscription or consumer products).
Strong technical foundation and architecture depth: guide scalable system design, set quality bars, and lead teams through ambiguity and tradeoffs.
Experience with growth and marketing systems – SEM, ad platform integrations, attribution/tracking, experimentation frameworks, customer engagement platforms, CDPs, CMS/landing page systems, analytics instrumentation, or marketing APIs.
Cross‑functional leadership: align diverse stakeholders, set clear priorities, and execute in fast‑paced environments.
People‑first leadership: coach, develop, and retain strong engineers while fostering psychological safety and high standards.
Bonus Experience
Deep familiarity with multi‑channel paid acquisition, tracking/attribution challenges (web + mobile), and data quality practices.
Hands‑on experience with event tracking, experimentation platforms, segmentation systems, offer/promo tooling, or funnel optimization in subscription products.
Experience operating platform teams serving multiple internal customers with clear SLAs, roadmaps, and support models.
Why This Role, Why Now? The Growth Platform is a force multiplier: strong foundations enable teams across Performance Marketing, Lifecycle, Partnerships, and Product to ship faster, learn more reliably, and scale what works across Scribd’s portfolio. This role offers the chance to lead a team, shape a platform, stay technical, and drive measurable business impact across multiple consumer brands.
Compensation Base pay is part of a total compensation package. In the United States, California ranges from $178,500 to $278,500; outside California, $157,500 to $264,500. In Canada, the range is CAD 201,000 to CAD 266,500. The salary range applies to the level scoped for this role.
