Founding Marketing Lead — First Marketing Hire
Kirkland, WA (HQ) — on-site · Type: Full-time · Reports to: Chief Marketing Officer function; Compensation: $180,000–$240,000 base salary · performance bonus · founding equity grant, 4-year vest
Hussh (hussh ) is an AI-first research, machine-learning, and product organization building Private Agent One — a private personal AI agent: personal superintelligence that works for the human it belongs to, with the human owning their information and sharing it only by their consent. A sister business runs permanent capital (Fund A / Alphabet 27) on the same doctrine. Headquarters is Kirkland, WA.
Until now, Hussh has had no marketing team at all. This is the first marketing hire in the company's history.
You are the founding marketing lead: a hands-on builder, not a coordinator. Your job has three parts, and they are the whole job:
Build the lead-generation engine — and make the pipeline really good. Pipeline quality is the job, not pipeline volume. Build the brand in market. The website, the content, the social presence, the launch moments — the public face of the company becomes yours to build, starting from nothing.
You own the funnel in our CRM (we run Attio) — every campaign sourced, every lead scored, every conversion tracked, every number reported as it actually is.
You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Founding Sales Lead: you own lead quality and conversion readiness; sales owns the conversation and the close. The boundary is clear, and the shared metric is pipeline that converts.
One doctrine governs everything you ship: we never sell, rent, or trade a user's information — including in marketing. No surveillance-based targeting, no data brokers, no third-party tracking that treats the user as inventory. We acquire customers the way we build the product: by earning trust.
Design and run campaigns across LinkedIn, Google, content/SEO, email lifecycle, events, and partnerships — with a single testable thesis per campaign and a kill criterion set before it launches.
Lead quality system. Brand and content in market. Own the website (Webflow/Framer), the editorial calendar, and social (LinkedIn, X, YouTube) — and ship the content yourself until a team exists to help.
Own Hussh's visibility in search and in AI-generated answers (SEO and AEO/GEO). We sell private personal superintelligence; Marketing operations. Run a disciplined test cadence — landing pages, offers, creative, audiences — and keep a public record of what worked, what didn't, and what you killed.
the lead-quality system is defined and in use.
Six months in: a repeatable lead flow exists with quality metrics — conversion by source, cost per qualified opportunity, and a pipeline number sales trusts.
A founding marketing lead must be able to point to pipeline and brand outcomes, not activity.
Have 7+ years in marketing with direct, hands-on ownership of demand generation — you have run the campaigns, not only approved them.
• Have a record on lead quality, not just volume: you can state your MQL→SQL conversion, your sales-accepted rate, and your cost per qualified opportunity, by source.
• Are fluent in the modern stack (below): CRM and automation administration, analytics, paid platforms, and content systems — you configure them yourself.
• Are a strong writer: you will be the company's working writer for web, email, and social until the team grows.
• Bring analytical rigor: funnel math, cohort thinking, and attribution skepticism — you trust the CRM over the dashboard.
• Are comfortable in a founder-led company: direct feedback, shifting priorities, and no layer between you and the founder.
Experience marketing a trust-sensitive product — privacy, security, finance — where claims had to be true.
• Hands-on AEO/GEO work: you have measurably improved a brand's presence in AI-generated answers.
• Video and social craft: you have personally shipped content that traveled, and can explain why it worked.
CRM: Attio (system of record; you own its marketing data model)
• Marketing automation & lifecycle email: HubSpot Marketing Hub or Marketo Engage; Looker dashboards
• Enrichment & data: Paid: LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager
• Web & creative: basic video editing for social cuts
• LinkedIn, X, YouTube native tooling and scheduling
180,000–$240,000 base salary, plus a performance bonus tied to pipeline outcomes, plus a founding equity grant (4-year vest). Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage. Employer-matched contributions to Trump Accounts. Apply here on LinkedIn with your resume and a short note answering one question: tell us about the best lead-generation system you built from zero — what the quality metric was, how you proved it, and what the pipeline number was. To be considered — the full application: Apply here on LinkedIn, AND send the following to talent@hushh.Applications without the email packet are not considered.
Tell us about a pipeline you built from zero — the motion, the cost per qualified opportunity, and the number it reached in its first two quarters.
Describe a piece of content or a campaign that outperformed everything else you have shipped — why it worked, in evidence, and how you scaled it.
Give us a marketing bet that failed: the spend, the signal that told you to stop, and what you did with the budget instead.
