Founding Growth Marketer

About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to be the

first marketing hire

at a fast-moving, early-stage AI SaaS startup — and own the growth function entirely. You'll work directly alongside the founding team to build the growth engine from the ground up: from strategy and positioning to hands‑on execution across SEO, paid, content, and PR. This role sits at the heart of how the company tells its story and drives early commercial traction.

What You'll Do

Own and execute the inbound growth engine end-to-end — set strategy across all channels including SEO, paid, content, and product marketing

Build repeatable, scalable marketing playbooks with an

AI-automation-first

approach

Track, measure, and report on all campaigns; set KPIs, run experiments, iterate fast, and communicate results across the organisation

Translate complex technical product capabilities into clear, compelling market-facing messaging

Work closely with product and founders to shape brand presence across the website, campaigns, and press

Own paid acquisition across channels — paid social, display, and programmatic

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

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

Constantly experiment with and identify new growth channels

What We're Looking For

Required:

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

1–3 years of experience in growth or product marketing (some early-stage company exposure is a dealbreaker requirement)

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

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

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

Comfortable designing, running, and reporting on experiments; genuinely data-driven with a clear KPIs mindset

Experience building and managing press relationships and turning product milestones into press coverage

Genuine appetite for AI-powered marketing and building scalable playbooks
