Growth Manager (Pass)

Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default

Proton was founded in 2014 by scientists from CERN on a simple truth: privacy is a fundamental human right. Since then, we've built the world's largest encrypted email service (Proton Mail) and expanded into Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, and Proton Calendar — tools used by millions globally to protect their freedom, fight censorship, and keep their data safe. In some situations, Proton has literally helped save lives.

We are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top ~1% of applicants. Our 700+ team members come from leading organizations and elite academic backgrounds. We move fast, keep hierarchy light, and prioritize impact over optics. If you want to do meaningful work with exceptionally high-caliber people, this is it. Check our open-source projects here.

Purpose of the Role

We are looking for a Growth Manager to join the Proton Pass growth team, reporting to the Growth lead. You will support the execution of Pass's growth strategy across both product-led growth (PLG) and marketing, helping drive activation, conversion, and adoption for our password manager consumer and business offering. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to build execution experience across the full growth stack, from in-product experimentation to campaign delivery.

What You'll Do

• Drive growth, acquisition, activation, and retention initiatives for Proton Pass — across marketing and product
• Design, launch, and analyze in-product experiments (onboarding flows, activation nudges, upgrade prompts) in collaboration with product and engineering
• Support acquisition (in owned and paid channels) by identifying opportunities, briefing marketing, and tracking performance against growth targets
• Optimize conversion across landing pages, upgrade pages, and other key funnel touchpoints, working closely with design and content
• Surface insights and recommendations to drive the business metrics of our organization
• Conduct competitive research and monitor market trends to inform strategic positioning
• Collaborate day-to-day with product, engineering, marketing, and data teams to execute against the growth roadmap

Who You Are

• 2+ years of experience in growth, product marketing, or performance marketing, ideally within SaaS or tech
• Exposure to both PLG (product/funnel experimentation) and traditional marketing execution (campaigns, content, demand generation)
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable working with data and interpreting experiment or campaign results
• Hands-on and detail-oriented; you enjoy executing day-to-day work rather than only setting direction
• Solid project management skills, able to coordinate across product, engineering, design, and marketing stakeholders
• Excellent written English; comfortable producing customer-facing copy as well as internal reporting

Nice to Have

• An interest in privacy and security products

• Work that Matters: Millions of people trust Proton with their privacy. We answer only to our users — not advertisers, not investors with conflicting agendas, not governments.

• Technology: The right hardware and software to do your best work.
• Learning & Development: We invest in your growth. Proton is one of the fastest ways to accelerate your career — real challenges, real ownership, from day one.

• In-Person Collaboration: Offices across Geneva, Zürich, Barcelona, London, and more. You'll spend most of your time collaborating face-to-face.
• Food: Lunch and snacks on us every day in the office.
• Transport: We cover public transport, bike allowances, or parking — whichever works for you.
• Flexible Working: You own your schedule. Outcomes matter more than clock-in times.
• Compensation range
  Paris: 36.000 - 52.000 EUR gross annually*
  Barcelona: 35.000 - 51.000 EUR gross annually*
  Other locations: Compensation will be discussed during the interview process
