Dear [Hiring manager’s name],
I’m applying for the Senior Marketing Manager, Growth role. I own paid acquisition and lifecycle marketing for an edtech app with a ₹1.2 crore monthly budget, and in nine months we brought blended cost per paid subscriber from ₹1,450 to ₹1,080.
Your job post asks for someone who can tell real growth from noise. We stopped buying cheap installs after a holdout test showed they added few paying users, and moved budget to subscription-event bidding. On lifecycle, I built trial journeys across email and push; measured against a 10% holdout, trial-to-paid conversion rose from 6.1% to 7.4%.
I work closely with data and product. I set up GA4 and our measurement partner with the data team so every campaign reports cost per subscriber, and I run a weekly creative review with a backlog of tests for my team of four and our two agencies.
Your company is growing in smaller cities, where I ran launch campaigns for eleven new cities at a food delivery startup. I’d enjoy talking about how you measure incrementality today.
Thank you for reading.
Best, Priya Iyer
Adapt it to your own application
- Lead with the metric the target company cares about: acquisition cost, pipeline or retention.
- Say how each result was measured: holdout, A/B test or cohort comparison.
- B2B roles: talk about pipeline and sales-accepted leads from the CRM.
- Skip impressions and follower counts unless the role is about awareness.
