Methodology
This report is generated from active marketing manager-level job listings collected by Marketing Manager Jobs from public employer job feeds and APIs. Listings are filtered to include manager-level marketing roles such as growth marketing manager, product marketing manager, SEO manager, lifecycle marketing manager, demand generation manager, brand manager, marketing director, head of marketing, VP marketing, and CMO.
We exclude non-marketing or non-manager roles such as engineering, product management, sales, support, design, writing-only, analyst, and administrative roles.
Questions are captured directly from employer application forms on Greenhouse and Ashby (the ATS platforms that expose them). Standard contact fields (name, email, resume, cover letter) are excluded; only employer-specific screening questions are kept. Percentages are the share of roles with a captured form — not all active listings, since most ATS platforms do not publish their forms. Questions are grouped by normalized phrasing so wording differences collapse to one row.
The dataset updates as new jobs are ingested. Historical trend data uses daily snapshots, aggregated by calendar month.
