Clera is hiring: Founding Growth Marketer in San Francisco

About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to be the

first marketing hire

at a Y Combinator-backed AI voice automation startup. You'll own the entire growth engine — from strategy to execution — and work directly with the founders to shape positioning, messaging, and go-to-market across every channel. This role is central to driving early traction and telling the company's story to the market.

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 from the ground up

Define KPIs, run experiments, iterate fast, and communicate results across the organization

Translate complex product capabilities into compelling, market-facing messaging and positioning

Work 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 channels: paid social, display, and programmatic

Research, plan, and execute SEO tactics with a focus on both traditional and AI discoverability

Build and manage press relationships, pitch stories, and turn product milestones into media coverage

Constantly experiment with and identify new growth channels

What We're Looking For

Required:

You were one of the first marketing hires at a previous company, or built the marketing function from scratch at an early-stage startup

1–7 years of experience in growth or product marketing, with at least some of that time at an early-stage company

Demonstrated ability to drive measurable results across multiple channels (SEO, paid, content, product marketing)

Strong collaboration skills — comfortable working directly with founders and product teams to craft market-facing narratives

Proficiency with a modern growth tech stack: analytics, CRM, automation, SEO tools, content platforms, and PR tools

Data-driven mindset: experienced in designing, running, and reporting on experiments with clear KPIs

Experience building press relationships and converting product milestones into meaningful media coverage

Genuine enthusiasm for AI-powered marketing and scalable, automated playbooks
