Be the Answer in AI Search - AI SEO across SEO, GEO & AEO. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We're hiring our Founding Growth Marketer to build the engine that takes AthenaHQ to $10M+ ARR. This is not a "run the blog and manage some paid spend" role. You'll own the entire growth function, working directly with the CEO and founding team to architect a repeatable, scalable revenue system. You will be responsible for both the fuel (the content, messaging, and creative that reaches our audience) and the engine (the channels, systems, and processes that distribute it and convert it into pipeline).
What they're looking for
- No specific background or years of experience required. We care about your ability to do the job
- Strong critical thinking. You form your own hypotheses about markets and channels, you don't blindly follow playbooks
- Systems-oriented mindset. You think in loops, leverage, and compounding, not one-off campaigns
- Comfort with ambiguity. You can figure out what to do when nobody has told you what to do
- Bias toward action. You ship, measure, learn, and iterate quickly
- Clear communication. You can articulate what you're doing, why, and what you've learned
