Growth Manager

TL;DR: Help us drive revenue growth, ideally exponentially. We're looking for our first dedicated Growth leader to turn Tiptap's raw momentum (30 k+ GitHub stars, 7 M monthly downloads, users like GitLab & LinkedIn) into a repeatable, scalable growth engine. Your first 12‑month North Star: generate ≥ 30 qualified SQLs per month and significantly increase our self‑serve conversion rate, all while laying the foundations for a Growth function you will later lead as Head of Growth. About Tiptap Hundreds of millions of people worldwide use text editors daily without realizing the complexity beneath. While developers initially underestimate the challenges involved, building advanced editors like Google Docs or Notion is incredibly complex. And with AI and LLMs in the game, it's even more complicated to combine these things. Tiptap transforms this complexity into simplicity and fun. With 30k GitHub stars and 7M downloads per month, Tiptap is one of the world's most popular open source editor frameworks, trusted by companies like Anthropic, Axios, GitLab, and LinkedIn. We aim to shape the future of how content is created on the web by building the leading ecosystem of smart and collaborative editing tools. Sounds too ambitious? Indeed, it is!
