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.
This annual report aggregates the site's eight live research trackers into a single snapshot. Each headline figure is the most recent end-of-month value from the underlying trackers; year archives reconstruct the figures as they stood at that year's close from the same daily snapshot history.
The dataset updates as new jobs are ingested. Historical trend data uses daily snapshots, aggregated by calendar month.
