Summary
Noah Manion is a growth and marketing strategist with 12 years of experience helping startups and scaling SaaS companies turn product and data into repeatable growth. He specializes in full-funnel initiatives—performance media, CRM and lifecycle automation, PLG onboarding, experimentation, and attribution modeling in BigQuery—to drive acquisition, activation, and retention. As a fractional Head of Growth and former leader of multi-person teams, he blends hands-on execution (from Webflow landing pages to GA4/Segment integrations) with strategic GTM planning and channel testing. He has a track record of materially reducing CPL and boosting activation through CRO, lifecycle flows, and data-driven dashboards. Based in Chicago, he often operates as a player-coach for founders and product teams, prioritizing sustainable, testable systems over one-off campaigns. Beyond marketing, his background in urban studies and early analytic roles suggests a practical systems-thinking approach to user behavior and operational metrics.
