Founding Growth Lead

Location: San Francisco, CA

Work Model: In-office (5 days per week)

Industry: AI inference infrastructure

Compensation: Competitive salary

About the Company

Our partner is an AI inference company delivering the fastest inference on open models, serving enterprise and serverless customers on its own GPUs. The team is small, around seven people, already at roughly $10M ARR with large, compute-bound enterprise deals.

The Opportunity

Our partner is hiring its first marketing hire to build the growth function from scratch. There is no pre-built strategy, process, or set of assets: you will define them. The core of the job is translating engineering results, from models and inference to latency, throughput, and GPU infrastructure, into market-facing content and launches.

You will move between strategy, creative work, project management, and execution, working directly with founders, engineers, customers, and external partners in person with a small team in San Francisco.
