I spent a significant part of my life, approximately eight years, in the United States, having moved there when I was just 17.How did you get started working at Buffer?My career at Buffer began as an Audience Marketer, a role that had varied and broad coverage. This included managing social media, running our newsletter, and overseeing paid social campaigns, tasks aimed at growing our audience through standard growth marketing tactics and other strategies. My only role shift thus far has been moving from Audience Marketer to Growth Marketing Manager, and most recently promoted to Senior Growth Marketing Manager.I’d been familiar with Buffer for quite a while due to my career in marketing. I had come across their blogs and was well-acquainted with their innovative approach to work. That was always a strong attraction for me.When I was job hunting in early 2020, even before the pandemic, I had already decided to pursue only remote roles. Buffer
