About Nace.AI

Specialized models and agents that execute real processes end-to-end, and compound in capability as your team uses them. Backed by General Catalyst.

About the role

As our first dedicated marketing hire, you will own the full growth surface — from paid acquisition to organic channels, lifecycle, and product-led growth. You’ll bridge high-level strategy and tactical execution, building a world-class acquisition engine that targets high-value professionals and ensures Nace AI becomes the default tool in their workflow. This is a rare opportunity to build from zero, with direct access to founders, a strong technical team, and the resources to move fast.

What they're looking for

  • The Operator: 6+ years in Performance Marketing, with a proven track record of scaling B2B or "Prosumer" SaaS products from $0 to $10M+ ARR
  • The Leader: You have experience managing high-performing teams or agencies and know how to get the best work out of creative and technical talent
  • The Generalist: You’ve owned multiple growth levers — paid, organic, lifecycle — and know how to prioritize across them based on stage and data
  • Analytical Rigor: You are dangerous with SQL and data visualization tools, you don't wait for reports, you build them
  • AI-Native: You understand the AI landscape and are already using LLMs to optimize copy, analyze sentiment, or automate workflows
  • Palo Alto Based: You value the "war room" energy of a physical office and are committed to being on-site with the team
