The company: Harvest Hosts is a venture-backed technology company in the travel space, recently recognized as #70 on Inc. 5000’s 2022 List of the Fastest-Growing Companies in the US and #1 Fastest-Growing Company in the Travel & Hospitality Category. As one of the fastest-growing companies in the travel industry (having grown more than 20X in the last three years), Harvest Hosts is growing its team to maintain rapid growth. All Harvest Hosts employees work 100% remotely.
What we do: Our mission is to promote happier lives through road travel and support small businesses and communities along the way. Harvest Hosts, the core product in our arsenal, is a membership program connecting RV travelers to over 8,000 unique camping locations across North America. For a low annual fee, members enjoy unlimited stays at our diverse locations, including farms, wineries, breweries, distilleries, golf courses, museums, and other attractions, as well as 3,000+ private properties through our Boondockers Welcome upgrade product.
With the addition of our recently-acquired Brit Stops program, we now offer motorhomers in the UK the same type of membership with 1,100+ overnight stay options at local businesses. While there are no camping fees, we encourage members to support their “Hosts” by patronizing the local businesses.
In 2023, Harvest Hosts launched two additional products that improve the lives of RVers while on the road: CampersCard and CampScanner. CampersCard is a campground discount and perks membership program that helps RVers save money on nights they spend at campgrounds. And our latest product, CampScanner, allows you to scan our database of campsites to get notified when a reservation opens at an impossible-to-book campground.
The position: Are you a daring, tech-savvy trailblazer with coding prowess, a start-up mentality, and a thirst for growth hacking? We're on the hunt for a Growth and Innovation Manager to lead our experimental sandbox and revolutionize the way we bring products to life. You'll be the driving force behind leveraging cutting-edge tools to accelerate product development and validate MVPs before committing extensive engineering resources.
Reporting to the Product Growth Manager on the Marketing team, you will be solely responsible for bringing products from inception to consumer-ready proof of concept with limited external assistance. Collaborating closely with the Product and Engineering teams when necessary, you'll mainly rely on your in-depth understanding of APIs and webhooks, coding experience, and a grasp of web deployment across an entire tech stack to accomplish your tasks. This role demands adaptability, resourcefulness, and a solid problem-solving background, as well as an unquenchable enthusiasm for embracing new tech and techniques, in order to thrive in a largely self-sufficient capacity.

With 2-4+ years of experience in project management, product development, and coding, you'll be well-equipped to tackle the unique challenges of this role. A deep understanding of APIs, webhooks, and web deployment across an entire tech stack is essential. Familiarity with digital marketing strategies and a demonstrated knowledge of AI tools like GPT, Stable Diffusion, and Clarifi, will be a major advantage. We're looking for someone who is eager to roll up their sleeves, take charge, and deliver exceptional results in an ever-evolving landscape.

- Pioneering and refining experimental projects using state-of-the-art tools and technologies.
