About the Role Our growth marketing team is the engine behind pipeline, and we’re looking for someone who sits at the intersection of campaign operations and AI to help us create better experiences for our prospects and customers, faster and more effectively.

You’re already hands‑on with tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and HubSpot Breeze, and you have opinions about them. You care about the experience on the other end of every email you send, you’re energized by building systems that scale, and you thrive in a team that moves fast and values impact.
