Savannah Search is partnering with a well-funded, Y Combinator-backed AI startup to appoint its Founding Marketing Lead.
With PE backed funding and a talent-dense team of approximately 8, the company is building an AI-powered workspace capable of orchestrating hundreds of thousands of agents simultaneously.
This is a hands-on founding role for a marketer who can build the marketing function from the ground up—combining positioning and product marketing with performance marketing, content and measurable pipeline generation.
The role
You will:
• Own paid acquisition across Google, LinkedIn, Reddit and emerging channels, managing budgets scaling beyond $30,000 per month
• Develop the company’s messaging, positioning and market narrative
• Drive SEO and GEO strategies to increase inbound demonstrations and self-service sign-ups
• Build the content engine across landing pages, case studies, customer stories, newsletters, launch content and sales materials
• Translate complex AI technology into clear, commercially compelling messaging
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Design and Sales on launches and go-to-market strategy
• Track campaign performance and continually improve channel mix, CAC and pipeline contribution
• Help build and recruit the wider marketing team as the company scales
About you
You will bring:
• 3-8 years’ experience in B2B product marketing and growth marketing
• Strong hands-on experience running paid campaigns across channels such as Google, LinkedIn and Reddit
• Experience with SEO/GEO and content-led growth
• Evidence of generating measurable pipeline, inbound demonstrations or self-service sign-ups
• The ability to build marketing infrastructure and playbooks from scratch
• Experience within a fast-growing B2B SaaS or AI-native startup
• A highly analytical, practical and entrepreneurial approach
Experience within a business recognised for outstanding B2B marketing—would be particularly relevant.
This position is based on-site in San Francisco five days per week with occasional travel.
