What You Will Do Own the end-to-end top-of-funnel strategy, experimenting across content, signal-driven outbound, AEO, and paid channels to find scalable GTM fit. Partner with the AE and CX leads to optimize the sales-assisted PLG funnel, moving users from free trials to paid conversions through trigger-based plays. Build the measurement infrastructure, including attribution and SQL-based tracking, to ensure every experiment is data-backed and provides clear signals for scaling. The ideal candidate Proven experience as an early growth hire in a B2B SaaS environment, with a track record of driving rapid experimentation across multiple acquisition channels. Deeply technical and AI-fluent, comfortable writing SQL, using APIs for automation, and leveraging tools like Claude, Cursor, and Clay to multiply output. Demonstrates high agency and a "founder mindset," capable of shipping without a playbook and pivoting quickly when data suggests an experiment has failed. Who are Jack & Jill? Ok, I'll go first.
