Founding Growth Marketer

Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE As the Founding Growth Marketer at Creem, you'll own how the world hears about us. Partnerships, influencers, paid ads, social media, events, and public presence all sit with you. We're building marketing from scratch, and you are the person who builds it, not a manager who directs a team that does the work. There is no team behind you yet. You get your hands dirty on everything, using technology and AI to punch far above the weight of one person. On any given week you might launch and optimize ad campaigns across ad platforms and networks, close a partnership with an event or an influencer, ship content across our social channels, and get on a stage or a podcast to spread the word about Creem. You'll move between strategy and execution constantly, and you'll ship rather than plan in circles. High agency is the whole job. You'll decide where attention is worth winning, build the campaigns yourself, measure what worked, and double down. You'll lean on AI and automation to create, test, and scale content and campaigns faster than a traditional team could. This role carries founder level responsibility, and your work establishes Creem's brand and market presence for years to come. WHAT WE VALUE - Autonomy with Impact: We don't dictate tasks. You choose the work that wins the most attention and customers. - Problem Solvers: Our brand and channels are still being built. We need someone who acts fast, tests, and iterates. - Technical Excellence: We prioritize high talent density and technical capability across every role, marketing included. - AI First Mindset: Every team member contributes to our AI approach through automation and technical leverage. REQUIREMENTS - Full Stack Marketing: You've personally run paid acquisition, social, content, and partnerships, not just managed people who did. You can build a campaign and ship it yourself. - Paid Ads Hands On: You can set up, run, and optimize campaigns across ad platforms and networks, and you read the numbers to know what's working. - Partnership and Influencer Building: You can find, pitch, and close partnerships with events, communities, and influencers that drive real reach. - Public Voice: You're comfortable representing Creem in public, on stage, on podcasts, and across social, and you can tell a compelling story. - High Agency: You take a broad mandate, structure it into a plan, and deliver it with minimal support in a small, fast moving team. - Technology and AI Leverage: You use AI and automation to create and scale content and campaigns, doing the work of a full team on your own. BONUS POINTS - Developer and SaaS Audience: You've marketed to developers, founders, or software teams and know what earns their trust. - Builder's Track Record: You've built and grown your own projects or audience, and understand the full lifecycle firsthand. - Community Building: You have a talent for growing communities and turning users into advocates through creative content. - Technical Marketing: You can turn complex technical concepts into clear, compelling stories that land with a technical audience. OUR OFFER TO YOU - Exceptional Compensation: A highly competitive package reflecting your expertise and impact. - Meaningful Equity: Real skin in the game as a founding member of the marketing function. - Relocation Support: Comprehensive relocation assistance, visa processing if needed, and first month's rent covered. - Growth Budget: Dedicated budget for courses, conferences, and resources. - Trust and Flexibility: We trust you to manage your energy and take time when you need it. - Team Adventures: We work hard together and get out into the world together.
