Founding Growth Marketer

About the Role

This is a rare opportunity to be the first marketing hire at a well-funded, early-stage AI voice automation startup backed by top-tier investors. You'll own the entire growth function — from strategy to execution — partnering directly with the founders to build the go-to-market engine from scratch. This role is central to shaping how the product is positioned and how the company earns its first wave of meaningful traction.

What You'll Do

• Own and execute the inbound growth engine end-to-end, setting strategy across SEO, paid, content, and product marketing
• Build repeatable, AI-automation-first marketing playbooks that scale
• Define KPIs, design and run experiments, iterate fast, and communicate results clearly across the organization
• Translate complex product capabilities into sharp, market-facing messaging and positioning
• Collaborate closely with product and founders to shape how the company shows up — on the website, in campaigns, and in the press
• Own paid acquisition across paid social, display, and programmatic channels
• Research, plan, and execute SEO tactics with a focus on both traditional and AI-driven discoverability
• Build and manage press relationships, pitch stories, and turn product milestones into earned media coverage
• Continuously experiment and identify new growth channels

What We're Looking For

• Required: Experience as one of the first marketing hires at an early-stage company, or having built the marketing function from scratch
• 1–7 years of experience in growth or product marketing, with demonstrated ownership across multiple channels
• Proven ability to drive measurable results through SEO, paid, content, and product marketing
• Strong collaboration skills — comfortable working shoulder-to-shoulder with founders and product teams
• Proficiency with a modern growth tech stack: analytics, CRM, marketing automation, SEO tools, content platforms, and PR tools
• Data-driven mindset — comfortable designing, running, and reporting on experiments with clear KPIs
• Experience managing press relationships and converting product news into coverage
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI-powered marketing and building scalable, automated playbooks
