You’ll join as our first dedicated marketing hire, helping build a B2B Saas company serving SMB in-home sales teams.
The Opportunity
As our Founding Growth Marketer, you’ll be a core part of the team driving demand generation and revenue in our earliest stage. Your primary focus will be building and executing hands-on demand programs that generate pipeline and support near-term growth, while helping shape our go-to-market foundation. Working directly with the CEO, you’ll collaborate cross-functionally to test early hypotheses, learn quickly, and build repeatable growth engines from the ground up.
This is a hands-on role for a demand generation focused full-stack growth marketer who can think strategically and execute tactically across digital, content, and community channels.
What You’ll Do
- Own and execute demand generation programs that drive pipeline, activation, and revenue.
- Design and run experiments across paid, lifecycle, and sales-assisted channels to support near-term growth.
- Partner closely with the CEO and sales to design and run experiments that drive customer acquisition and activation across PLG and founder-led sales channels.
- Own the self-serve sign-up and onboarding funnel, running experiments to improve activation, time-to-value, and trial-to-paid conversion.
- Interview customers and prospects to understand workflows, objections, and language – and turn insights into messaging and campaigns.
- Run experiments tied directly to pipeline, conversion, and revenue impact.
- Set up and maintain a lightweight but reliable growth stack (Webflow, HubSpot, analytics) to track the funnel and guide decisions.
- Test and scale a focused mix of paid channels (Google, Meta, LinkedIn) once messaging and ICP are validated, using freelancers or agencies where it adds leverage.
- Define and refine ICPs and buying journeys across self-serve and sales-assisted paths to keep marketing, product, and sales aligned.
- Use product usage and CRM data to identify high-intent signals and trigger lifecycle campaigns that drive expansion, referrals, and upsell.
- Plan and produce organic content: social posts, articles, newsletters –that educates and drives engagement, especially on LinkedIn.
- Partner with industry associations to co-create content, host webinars, and activate member networks.
- Analyze pipeline, conversion, CAC, and revenue performance.
- Contribute to our content engine with playbooks, customer stories, how-tos, and practical resources.
- Use AI tools to streamline content creation and marketing automation.
Who You Are
- 5+ years in growth and demand generation in B2B Saas marketing including experience as first or early marketing hire working closely with founders.
- Proven experience directly impacting pipeline and revenue through demand generation.
- Comfortable owning execution end-to-end, from campaign setup to reporting on revenue outcomes.
- A scrappy, experiment-driven marketer who thrives in early-stage ambiguity and turns data, insights, and creativity into scalable growth.
- Energized by building from scratch and comfortable prioritizing ruthlessly with limited time and budget.
- A hands-on individual contributor who loves writing copy, building landing pages, setting up workflows, and digging into dashboards.
- Strong bias to action – you’d rather ship a good-enough experiment and learn than polish a campaign for months.
- Fluent with AI-powered marketing tools.
- Comfortable with HubSpot or similar CRMs, including automation, email, analytics, and lifecycle management.
- Experienced working with freelancers, designers, and content partners in fast-moving environments.
- Proven track record creating high-performing content across blog, social, email, and ad channels.
- Analytical mindset – comfortable with A/B testing, funnel analysis, and KPI reporting.
- Strong communicator with excellent writing, editing, and presentation skills.
- Team-oriented, adaptable, and energized by building something new from the ground up.
