Why Candidates Should Join

• Well-funded, early-stage: $28M+ raised, Series A, lean high-performing team in SF.
• Total creative ownership: First dedicated creative hire - owns brand, content, and growth infrastructure end-to-end with real autonomy.
• Elite operators: Work alongside team members from Airbnb, Palantir, Pinterest, IMC Trading, Shopify, LinkedIn, and Microsoft.

• Role is intentionally ambiguous, fast-moving, and deeply creative - variously called PMM, "storyteller," or "the person who makes everything look and feel better."
• Company has product, sales, and demand-gen/paid/ops partners in place; the missing piece is a hands-on creative to move faster.
• Core profile: strong vision for brand and creative, fluent in creative tools, near-obsessive attention to detail.
• No clean checklist - does not require B2B SaaS experience or a marketing degree. Strong people often come from design, community, or content backgrounds.
• Signals that the founder values: makes and ships their own work/side projects; has opinions about advertising and creative; obsessive about craft and detail.

• Work on new product launches: launch videos, webpages, and collateral
• Build ambitious end-to-end creative programs (e.g. starting Conversion Academy)
• Work with partners and influencers to represent and grow the brand
• Ideate and execute growth experiments across new channels
• Own end-to-end content creation: concept, script, shoot, edit, publish
• Turn features, workflows, and real customer use cases into compelling content
• Design and produce events and programming: hack nights, speaker series, tactical sessions, dinners
• Build and nurture community through onboarding experiences, meetups, and digital channels
• Build lightweight systems to keep programs organized (Airtable, calendars, speaker tracking)
• Rigorously track performance and iterate based on what's working

• 2-4 years in a growth, content, brand, or product marketing role at a startup, with clear ownership of creative output.
• Demonstrable creative range: can write copy, produce short-form video, and mock up a page in Figma without waiting on a design team.
• A portfolio, personal website, or public body of work that shows shipped creative, not just listed responsibilities.
• Strong storytelling instinct: thinks in narratives, not features, and can translate technical product details into compelling messaging.
• Based in San Francisco and able to work in-person full-time, 5 days a week.

• Has gone deep in at least one channel from an execution and aesthetic standpoint, not just a strategic or pipeline-management standpoint.
• Portfolio site or personal website with strong design sensibility, references brands like Linear, Notion, Vercel, or Ramp unprompted.
• LinkedIn profile feels like a creative's page: custom handle, curated posts, aesthetically intentional, not a corporate resume.
• Has built something outside of work: newsletter, side project, community, social account, anything that shows marketing is a genuine interest and not just a day job.
• Titles that tend to fit: storyteller, content, product marketing, brand, or a product designer who wants to move into growth.

• Primarily strategic or demand gen focused without hands-on creative execution: can orchestrate pipelines across five channels but hasn't gone deep in any of them.
• Pure product designer with a UI/UX focus
• No portfolio, no public work, no side projects: if there's nothing to look at, they're probably not the right fit.
• From Sieve, Console, or Glean. Do not source from these companies.
