How to Apply for Senior Growth Manager - EdTech (French fluent 🇫🇷)

at Paradox

🏢 About Paradox

Paradox appears to be an EdTech company in a pivotal growth phase, transitioning from founder-led marketing to a scalable, data-driven revenue engine. The remote-first structure and focus on French markets suggest a specialized, international approach to education technology. This role offers the opportunity to architect growth systems from the ground up in a dynamic environment.

About This Role

This Senior Growth Manager will build Paradox's revenue engine from scratch, moving beyond founder-led efforts to establish repeatable, data-driven growth systems. You'll be hands-on with funnel architecture, campaign implementation, and relentless optimization while leading a team through player-coach leadership. The role directly impacts revenue quality by focusing on high-intent leads and closed deals in the French EdTech market.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by analyzing yesterday's A/B test results on a new onboarding flow, then meet with your team to prioritize the week's growth experiments. Afternoon could involve hands-on work setting up tracking for a new acquisition channel, followed by aligning with sales on lead quality metrics. The day would blend strategic planning with tactical execution across the entire growth funnel.
