Growth Marketing Manager

About IPM

The Institute of Project Management (IPM) is a fast-growing, global education and certification business serving over 40,000 professionals worldwide. We work with organisations across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond to raise the standard of project management through education, certification, and community. IPM operates at the intersection of education, technology, and professional services - and we’re now entering a performance-driven growth phase. This role will work closely with the founder and leadership team to help scale IPM’s global reach, pipeline, and revenue.

It is a hands-on leadership role with clear accountability for outcomes. You will be responsible for both doing the work and directing others. If growth stalls, leads drop, or funnels underperform - you own the fix. IPM is not looking for incremental optimisation. We’re looking for someone who can move fast, prioritise hard, and build systems that scale. We see this role growing and becoming a
