at HowGood

🏢 About HowGood

HowGood is a pioneering sustainability data platform that helps food and beverage companies measure and improve their environmental and social impact. Working here means joining a mission-driven team at the intersection of climate tech and food systems, where your marketing efforts directly contribute to reducing the global food industry's footprint.

About This Role

As the Growth Marketing Manager for the Reduction Network, you'll own the go-to-market strategy for a new platform that helps F&B companies track and reduce their carbon emissions. Your work will involve crafting compelling narratives, producing thought leadership, and driving multi-channel campaigns to grow awareness and adoption among sustainability leaders in the food industry.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing campaign performance dashboards and adjusting LinkedIn ad targeting based on engagement. Midday, you could collaborate with the product team to refine messaging for a new Reduction Network feature, then draft a thought leadership article on Scope 3 emissions for an industry publication. Afternoons often involve preparing for a webinar with a sustainability partner or analyzing lead data to optimize the sales handoff process.

3

Research HowGood's Reduction Network and mention a specific insight about its value proposition in your cover letter or application.

4

If you have experience with sustainability reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, SBTi), mention it prominently.

5

Show you understand the F&B industry's sustainability challenges by referencing a recent regulation (e.g., EU CSRD) or industry trend.
