Growth Marketer

About the Role

This is the founding marketing hire at a fast-growing enterprise data and AI company that acquires real proprietary business data, transforms it into de-identified datasets, and licenses it to leading frontier AI labs. The company has scaled from zero to a multi-eight-figure run rate in a matter of months across two complementary business lines, and the pipeline today is almost entirely referral-driven. This role exists to change that: you will build the acquisition engine from scratch, own top-of-funnel growth across both business lines, and set the blueprint for how growth looks going forward.

The ideal candidate has been one of the first growth hires somewhere before and knows what it feels like to build a channel from nothing. You are a generalist who moves fast, runs experiments using AI tools without waiting on design or engineering, and makes clear-eyed decisions with incomplete data. You are comfortable marketing to C-suite buyers, you have a demonstrated track record at an early-stage company (seed or Series A), and you show clear signs of exceptionalism, whether that is academic pedigree, athletic achievement, entrepreneurial hustle, or something else that signals you hold yourself to a high bar.

Key Responsibilities

1. Build the marketing function from zero, establishing the first repeatable acquisition engine across both the data acquisition and data partnerships lines of business
2. Test and scale new channels including paid, SEO/AEO/GEO, content, and web to generate qualified leads beyond the current referral-driven pipeline
3. Ship landing pages, campaigns, and automated workflows yourself using AI tools, without dependencies on design or engineering
4. Develop a structured set of growth experiments and hypotheses, prioritize them, and execute quickly so the team learns what works and what does not
5. Kill underperforming initiatives fast and double down on channels that show signal, making decisions transparently even when data is incomplete
6. Track and report your own results end-to-end, owning the full funnel from first touch to qualified lead
7. Bring a proposed growth plan and channel strategy to the leadership team early, then iterate based on what the data shows

Required Skills & Experience

• 2 to 6 years of experience in growth or performance marketing
• Demonstrated experience building at least one marketing channel from zero at an early-stage company (seed or Series A preferred)
• Proven ability to use AI tools to independently build integrations, workflows, micro-products, landing pages, and campaigns
• Comfortable making fast decisions with incomplete data and owning the results honestly
• Experience marketing to C-suite or executive-level buyers
• Generalist orientation with the ability to move across paid, organic, content, and web channels
• Currently based in or willing to relocate to Brooklyn, New York; role is five days per week on-site
• Visa transfers (OPT, H1B) are welcome

Preferred Skills

• Experience at a company operating in data, AI, or an adjacent technical space
• Signs of exceptionalism outside of pure work history (strong academic record, athletic background, entrepreneurial projects, early promotion track, or similar)
• Familiarity with Google Analytics, Google Ads, SEO/AEO/GEO tooling, landing page builders, marketing automation platforms, and CRM systems
• Comfort operating as a solo contributor and self-starter before a broader team is built around you
