  Company Description
  Our client is a high-growth, VC-backed startup transforming the future of hiring with an AI-powered recruiting platform. This innovative company has developed an autonomous AI recruiter that conducts live, real-time interviews at scale—enabling employers to identify top talent faster and more effectively. Trusted by leading enterprise organizations and already gaining traction across multiple industries, the company is building a truly category-defining product.
  With strong funding, a mission-driven culture, and a dynamic founding team, this is a unique opportunity to join a startup at the ground floor and help build out its growth engine from scratch.

  What You Will Do
  • Take full ownership of the Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) engine from day one.

  • Work directly with founders and sales leadership to develop and execute growth experiments across multiple channels.

  • Identify and prioritize high-leverage opportunities in areas such as sponsorships, partnerships, events, referral programs, and demand generation campaigns.

  • Launch quickly, test often, and iterate on strategies to drive consistent SQL delivery.

  • Build foundational growth marketing systems and scalable processes from the ground up—no legacy systems or existing playbooks to manage.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure a seamless handoff from marketing to sales, measuring and optimizing the full funnel from first touch to SQL conversion.
  Ideal Candidate Background
  • 4+ years of experience in growth marketing, demand generation, or performance marketing, preferably in an early-stage or high-growth startup.

  • Proven track record of designing and executing marketing strategies that led to measurable revenue growth.

  • Experience owning a funnel or customer journey from awareness through to handoff to sales.

  • Exceptional analytical skills and a data-driven mindset—you know how to measure what matters.

  • Self-starter with strong project management abilities and a bias for action; you're comfortable operating independently.

  • Strong communicator who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
  Preferred
  • Prior experience as the first growth hire or building a growth function from scratch.

  • Background in B2B SaaS, marketplaces, or HR/recruiting tech.

  • Familiarity with using modern marketing tools (HubSpot, Webflow, Google Analytics, LinkedIn Ads, etc.)

  • Experience working closely with early-stage founders or founding teams.
  Compensation and Benefits
  • Salary Range: $150,000 - $250,000
