[Hiring] Founding Growth Manager @Empromptu AI

Role Description

This is not a traditional “marketing manager” role. You will own the entire go-to-market motion end to end.

You'll own how Empromptu AI shows up in the world, from the story we tell to how developers and enterprises discover, adopt, and champion what we build. There's no team to inherit and no playbook to run. You'll work at all altitudes, setting the high-level strategy and then doing the tactical work yourself, from positioning down to the copy.

What you'll own

• Narrative and content: shape the company blog, thought pieces, and our unique perspective on AI, and position our founders and researchers as leading voices
• Product marketing: define our category and translate deeply technical capabilities into messaging that developers resonate with
• Brand and channels: own our company brand, website, and social cadence across X and LinkedIn
• Launches and announcements: coordinate product releases and announcements from press to podcasts to events
• Demand generation: build developer and enterprise interest to build our pipeline

Qualifications

• Ideally have run their own marketing agency for clients or have built a marketing function from zero at a start-up and can both set strategy and execute it
• Are tactically broad, can own narrative, launches, demand, and growth experiments across channels from social to SEO to email
• Have 5+ years of professional expertise and operating in ambiguous environments
• Write exceptionally well, clear, technical, and fast
• Have taste: know what's credible, what's hype, and what's premature
• Are fluent in the AI industry, leverage tools yourself, and can credibly talk models and APIs with our engineers and researchers
• Show complete ownership, think at the level of goals, not tasks or tickets
• Have an analytical mind. You can create systems to clearly show ROI while balancing creative

  • Product marketing and go-to-market experience

Team & Culture Context

• This is the only marketing role at Empromptu today
• You will work closely with the CEO, product, and engineering
• The culture favors ownership, clarity of thinking, and bias toward action
• You should be comfortable making decisions, testing ideas quickly, and iterating in real time
• People who thrive here are builders — they like blank pages, unclear playbooks, and real responsibility.

Growth Potential

This role is designed to grow. As Empromptu scales, this position can evolve into:

• Head of Marketing

You'll have direct influence over strategy, positioning, and future team structure, with opportunities to build and lead a marketing organization over time.

Inclusive Candidate Signals

We value diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and paths into marketing and technology. If you're excited about this role but don't meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We care far more about how you think, execute, and learn than about checking every box.

Application Process

Our interview process is straightforward:

• Initial interview
• Whiteboard or case study interview
• Coworker interview
• Final interview with the CEO
