Growth Lead

Role Overview

The Growth Lead (Books) sits at the point where Packt’s expertise network meets its commercial performance. At the heart of the role is developer relations: building genuine, durable presence inside the communities where practitioners in the vertical actually gather, and earning enough standing there to be treated as a peer rather than a vendor.

What You Will Do

Identify, approach and build durable relationships with respected practitioners across the vertical: open-source maintainers, conference speakers, community leaders, technical bloggers and newsletter authors, and vendor DevRel figures with independent credibility.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Genuine fluency in a technical community, with the credibility to be taken seriously by practitioners. You do not need to be an engineer, but you need to be able to hold a real conversation with one.

Requirements

• Genuine fluency in a technical community, with the credibility to be taken seriously by practitioners.
• Experience in developer relations, community management, technical marketing or a comparable outward-facing role in a technical domain.
• An existing network within the relevant vertical is a strong advantage.
• Campaign ownership experience, with the discipline to plan, sequence and measure rather than react.
• Commercial judgement, and comfort being measured on outcomes rather than activity.
• Strong written communication and the ability to represent Packt publicly.
• Comfort with data, including Amazon performance metrics, campaign analytics and the relationship between reach, conversion and rank.
