Growth Manager B2B – Proton
Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default. At Proton, we believe that privacy is a fundamental human right and the cornerstone of democracy. Since our inception in 2014, founded by a team of scientists from CERN, we have dedicated ourselves to providing free and open‑source technology to millions worldwide, ensuring access to privacy, security and freedom online. Our journey began with Proton Mail, the largest secure email service globally, and has since expanded to include Proton VPN, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive and Proton Pass. These tools empower individuals and organizations to take control of their personal data, break away from Big Tech’s invasive practices and defeat censorship. Our work impacts hundreds of millions of lives, from activists defending freedom to leaders protecting sensitive information. In some cases, Proton’s services have even been instrumental in saving lives by enabling secure and private communications in high‑risk situations.
Proton today supports over 100 million user accounts with a growing team of over 500 people from more than 50 countries, drawn from the world’s top companies and universities. We value intelligence, learning potential and ambition in our hiring process. Adaptability is key as we navigate uncharted territories and redefine how business is conducted online. We believe smaller teams of exceptional talent will always prevail over larger teams with lower talent density. Proton has become profitable and reached scale without relying upon VC funding, largely due to superior talent that allows us to do things faster, more creatively and more efficiently.
We have a global mindset and big ambitions but remain a start‑up at heart. We value empowerment and flexibility and keep our structure flat to keep moving fast and avoid unnecessary politics. Tired of blending into the crowd? Join us and do work you can truly be proud of.

Role Overview
We’re looking for an experienced Growth Manager to help drive the expansion of our B2B VPN business. While Proton VPN is already one of the world’s leading VPN services, our B2B offering is still in an early growth phase. You’ll play a key role in shaping its trajectory—defining product positioning, pricing strategy, acquisition channels and sales loops. This is a hands‑on, strategic role that calls for both analytical thinking and a strong sense of curiosity about technology. It’s also a high‑visibility, cross‑functional position—you’ll collaborate closely with teams across Product, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success and Data on a global scale.
What You’ll Do
* Own the end‑to‑end B2B growth strategy for Proton VPN and identify high‑impact growth levers across channels, define KPIs and execute scalable, data‑driven campaigns that drive qualified leads and self‑serve subscriptions for the VPN for Business product.
* Design full‑funnel marketing programs, including paid acquisition, SEO and CRO, in collaboration with our central Marketing team.
* Build outbound campaigns from the ground up.
* Develop a content strategy that positions Proton as a trusted authority in online security and privacy for businesses, in partnership with Marketing, Product and Sales.
* Define and track key marketing performance indicators. In collaboration with our Data team, build our analytics stack.
What You’ll Bring
* 2–10 years of experience in a fast‑growing B2B environment, whether in a marketing/growth role or a strategic role. Experience with self‑serve and/or sales‑led acquisition.
* Hands‑on leadership; Proton’s culture is not corporate, and we expect leaders to lead from the front.
* Analytical and data‑driven mindset. Candidates with scientific or engineering backgrounds who now work in marketing or growth are welcome.
* Cost‑efficient mindset. Proton is a bootstrapped start‑up; we’re creative and efficient to win long‑term.
* Not required, but valued: proven track record of driving revenue through outbound sales.
* Not required, but valued: experience building teams and processes from scratch, as Proton is just starting in B2B.
What We Offer
* Office First: Collaboration is easier and more effective in person. We have offices in Geneva, Zurich, Prague, Barcelona, Paris, London, Vilnius, Skopje and Taipei. You can also work from home up to 30% of the time while enjoying great company during our three core days in the office.
* Technology: We provide all devices and software you need to excel in your role, ensuring you have the best tools at your disposal.
* Food: Lunch and snacks are provided by Proton every day at our offices.
* Transport: We support employees with transport costs through subsidizing public transport, bike allowances or parking spaces based on office location.
* Stock Options: At Proton, we are all owners of the company and you get stock options when you join us.
* Flexible Working: You can define your own working hours as long as it works with team meetings.
* Learning and Development: Proton offers various learning opportunities, including training programs, conferences, events and continual learning.
* Employee Benefits: Comprehensive health insurance plans, competitive retirement savings options, generous vacation and leave policies and wellness programmes.
* Work that Matters: Proton is a community‑first organisation, started with the support of a crowdfunding campaign and built with community input. Our only source of revenue is user subscriptions. Over 100 million people trust and support Proton, and we put our users and community first in everything we do.
