Get Access To All JobsAt Trustpilot, we're on an incredible journey. We're a profitable, high-growth FTSE-250 company with a big vision: to become the universal symbol of trust. We run the world's largest independent consumer review platform, and while we've come a long way, there's still so much exciting work to do. Come join us at the heart of trust!
Trustpilot is entering an exciting new phase of growth in the United States. As we continue to expand our presence and impact, we're looking for a US Consumer Brand & Growth Marketing Lead to help execute and accelerate growth marketing efforts in North America, with a focus on our consumer brand.
This is a 12-month, full-time individual contributor contract, reporting to the VP of US Marketing, with the potential to convert to a permanent role.
We are looking for a Growth Marketer with a real Brand Soul. You understand that Trustpilot is unique: we're a B2B SaaS company, a consumer destination, and a symbol of trust for everyone. You won't have a massive war chest to buy awareness. Instead, you will build it through earned authority, community-driven content, and focused, high-ROI paid tests. You are the "Master of the Flywheel," using our B2B partners to reach consumers, and using consumer trust to win more B2B partners.
What You'll Be Doing:
The B2B2C Engine:
- Turn our B2B customers into our largest marketing channel. You'll create the strategy that gets Trustpilot-branded Trust Signals embedded in every business's checkout flow, TV ad, and email footer globally, driving massive "free" consumer impression growth.
- Partner with Trustpilot's enterprise business customers to construct co-marketing motions that drive business value and consumer reach.
Owned & Earned Growth:
- Owned: Turn our social channels and blog into a "Trust Newsroom." You'll lead a content strategy that makes Trustpilot a daily destination for US consumers. Turn our social channels and blog into a "Trust Newsroom." You'll lead a content strategy that makes Trustpilot a daily destination for US consumers, and you will be a key content creator, developing compelling, original content across various formats (e.g., articles, social posts, videos).
- Earned: Develop a high-impact organic strategy that inserts Trustpilot into broader cultural and industry conversations about trust, transparency, and the AI-driven economy. You will identify "white space" in the media landscape where Trustpilot can act as a definitive voice, earning organic reach through timely commentary and proprietary data-driven storytelling.
High-Velocity Paid Experimentation: Manage a lean "innovation budget" dedicated to signal testing rather than pure scale. You will run focused, time-bound experiments on emerging platforms to identify high-ROI pockets of consumer attention before scaling.
Performance as Brand Research: You'll test brand messaging and creative hooks. You'll analyze which narratives resonate most with specific groups, then "industrialize" those winning themes across our free, earned, B2B2C, and paid channels.
Lifecycle & Identity: Build low-cost retention loops. Use email and push notifications to remind consumers that their voice matters, turning one-time reviewers into lifelong "Trust Champions."
Who You Are
- Network Effect Specialist: You've successfully managed a B2B2C or Marketplace growth loop, where you've incentivized one side of a platform (businesses/creators) to drive awareness for the other (consumers).
- The Multiplier Effect: You have a documented history of growing organic brand reach or consumer traffic by 3x–10x without a proportional increase in spend.
- The "T-Shaped" Expert: You have deep expertise in Brand Narrative, but your skills extend into Data Analysis, Performance Marketing, and Content Creation.
- The Arbitrage Hunter: You look for "underpriced" attention. You'd rather win a trending Reddit thread or seed a meme than pay for a premium programmatic banner, because you know the former can get you just as close to your target.
- Iterative & Scrappy: You don't need a 6-month agency roadmap. You'd rather launch a "Lo-Fi" video experiment today, analyze the results tomorrow, and pivot by Wednesday.
- Zero-to-One Launchpad: You've built a brand's digital presence from scratch or led a major "re-vibe" that significantly moved the needle on unaided awareness.
- Experiment Velocity: You have a "win rate" mindset. You've managed an experiment pipeline of 2–4 tests per week, with a clear framework for killing losers and doubling down on "signals."
What's in it for you:
- A competitive base salary ranging from $170,000 to $190,000 gross per year. This range doesn't include any variable pay such as bonuses, awards made under Trustpilot's equity program or other benefits.
- A range of flexible working options to dedicate time to what matters to you.
- 20 vacation days + 2 personal days + 10 paid holidays per year.
- Two (paid) volunteering days a year to spend your time giving back to the causes that matter to you and your community.
- Rich learning and development opportunities supported through the Trustpilot Academy and Blinkist.
- Full health insurance.
- 401k matching your contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 4% of your base salary.
- Discounted club membership at Life Time Fitness.
- 24/7 Employee Assistance Plan and full access to Headspace, a popular mindfulness app to promote positive mental health.
- Paid parental leave for employees who have been employed for over 6 months with full scope of benefit after 12 months.
- Regular opportunities to connect and get to know your fellow Trusties, including company-wide celebrations and events, ERG activities and team socials.
- A friendly, open office complete with a foosball table, roof deck with wifi (rooftop meeting anyone?!) and unlimited snacks and drinks.
- Communal lunch, extra treats and events during the month — think ice cream carts, coffee bars and massages, to name a few.

How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Growth Marketing Lead
Target companies with a history of H-1B sponsorship
Growth marketing roles are most stable long-term at companies that have sponsored H-1B visas before. Check DOL disclosure data to confirm a company has filed LCAs for marketing roles before applying.
Emphasize measurable growth outcomes in your resume
Growth Marketing Lead roles are performance-driven. Quantify your impact with metrics like CAC, LTV, conversion rates, or revenue influenced. Numbers reduce hiring hesitation and justify the sponsorship investment clearly.
Address sponsorship directly in your cover letter
Don't leave employers guessing about your status. A brief, confident line explaining your OPT authorization and timeline removes ambiguity and signals professionalism, making the conversation easier for both sides.
Focus on growth-stage startups and mid-size tech companies
These employers often have leaner, more agile hiring processes and are more willing to sponsor strong candidates. Enterprise companies can move too slowly relative to typical OPT timelines.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Can I work as a Growth Marketing Lead on F-1 OPT?
Yes. A Growth Marketing Lead role qualifies for F-1 OPT work authorization as long as it is directly related to your field of study. Marketing, business, economics, and data-related degrees typically satisfy this requirement. You must have a valid EAD card before your start date and ensure the role aligns with your declared major as recorded on your I-20.
Does a Growth Marketing Lead role qualify for STEM OPT extension?
It depends on your degree, not the job title. If you hold a STEM-designated degree, such as data science, statistics, computer science, or information systems, you may qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension even in a growth marketing role. The extension is tied to your academic credential, not the job category. Confirm your degree's CIP code with your DSO before assuming eligibility.
How do I find Growth Marketing Lead jobs that sponsor OPT students?
Migrate Mate is the most efficient way to find Growth Marketing Lead positions open to OPT students. The platform filters for visa-friendly employers, so you spend less time applying to roles where sponsorship is a non-starter. Look for companies that have previously filed H-1B petitions in marketing or growth functions, since past behavior is the strongest signal of future sponsorship willingness.
Will employers sponsor H-1B visas for Growth Marketing Lead roles after OPT?
Many will, particularly at technology companies, SaaS businesses, and growth-stage startups where the role is central to revenue strategy. Growth marketing is increasingly treated as a technical discipline, which strengthens the specialty occupation argument for H-1B purposes. Your chances improve significantly if you can demonstrate measurable business impact during your OPT period and begin the conversation with your employer at least six months before your OPT expires.
What happens if my OPT expires before H-1B sponsorship is approved?
If your employer files an H-1B petition before your OPT expires and you have a timely filed EAD renewal or cap-gap protection applies, you may be able to continue working. Cap-gap protection extends F-1 OPT status through September 30 for students with a pending or approved H-1B change of status petition. Work with your DSO and an immigration attorney as soon as your employer commits to sponsorship to map out your timeline.
