About the role

About the Role

Own prelaunch growth for an early-stage consumer AI hardware startup building a private way to interact with computers. You will work closely with the founder and a small founding team, growing the waitlist and shaping how people first understand the product.

What You'll Do

  • Build and grow the prelaunch waitlist, the role's primary success measure.

  • Create and distribute social content, starting with Instagram and LinkedIn, and test other promising channels.

  • Develop messaging that communicates the value of private interaction with computers before the product is publicly available.

  • Run quick growth experiments with a small paid budget, track signups, and invest in what converts.

  • Own campaign planning, distribution, and the insights gathered from each effort.

  • Plan and execute audience-building events when useful.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years in growth or marketing roles at early-stage startups, building audiences or waitlists.

  • Experience growing an audience or waitlist from zero.

  • Hands-on experience creating content for Instagram and LinkedIn, with an understanding of how social platforms distribute content.

  • Experience managing paid acquisition budgets and running fast experiments to find effective signup channels.

  • Comfort working independently in a small founding team and building from the ground up.

  • Event planning and execution experience is helpful.

Base salary is $60,000 to $70,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
