Founding Growth Lead

Are you passionate about solving complex challenges in the fintech space? We're looking for talented individuals to join our dynamic startup, backed by Sequoia Capital. We're building the universal payment layer to unify all currencies-fiat and crypto-so businesses and consumers can transact seamlessly. If you're passionate about creating innovative solutions in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, we want to talk to you.

Founding Growth Lead

We're looking for our Founding Growth Lead to build Breeze's growth engine from the ground up.

This is one of the most impactful roles at Breeze. You'll define how we tell our story, launch products, build our brand, and become one of the most recognized companies in fintech.

This isn't a traditional marketing role. We aren't looking for someone to manage agencies, optimize paid advertising, or execute a pre-defined marketing playbook.

We're looking for a builder.

Someone who thinks like a founder. Someone who understands that great companies win because they build incredible products and world-class distribution. Someone who knows how to create momentum, generate conversation, and build a brand that people naturally want to follow.

You'll own everything from content strategy and storytelling to product launches, community, partnerships, founder branding, social media, and growth experimentation. One week you may be launching a new product campaign. The next you might be building an AI-powered content engine, partnering with creators, or testing entirely new distribution channels.

If you've helped build growth from zero before and love turning ambitious ideas into reality, we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Do

• Build Breeze's growth and marketing function from the ground up.
• Develop creative growth strategies that increase awareness, engagement, customer acquisition, and product adoption.
• Define and evolve Breeze's positioning, messaging, and overall brand narrative.
• Own our content strategy across LinkedIn, X, YouTube, newsletters, blogs, podcasts, events, and emerging platforms.
• Create content that educates, builds trust, and earns attention organically.
• Partner closely with Product and leadership to launch new products and features that generate excitement and conversation.
• Build repeatable growth loops through content, community, referrals, partnerships, creators, and product-led initiatives.
• Develop founder and executive thought leadership alongside the leadership team.
• Build relationships with creators, influencers, customers, strategic partners, and media.
• Run rapid growth experiments across acquisition, activation, retention, referrals, and virality.
• Leverage AI and automation to dramatically increase the speed, quality, and scale of content production.
• Analyze performance across channels and continuously iterate based on data and customer insights.
• Stay ahead of emerging trends in AI, fintech, payments, crypto, and consumer technology.
• Help recruit and build Breeze's future growth team as the company scales.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in growth, brand, content, product marketing, or a related function at a high-growth technology company.
• You've built growth from zero before. Whether you were the first marketing hire or joined shortly after, you've created systems, content, campaigns, and distribution from a blank slate rather than inheriting an established function.
• You're energized by ambiguity and building from first principles. You'd rather create the playbook than inherit one.
• Exceptional storytelling skills with a strong understanding of how to simplify complex ideas into compelling content.
• Deep understanding of modern content distribution, internet culture, and social platforms.
• Proven experience launching campaigns or products that generated meaningful organic reach and customer engagement.
• Strong product intuition with an understanding of how product, storytelling, and distribution work together.
• Experience using AI to create, automate, and scale content and marketing workflows.
• Strong analytical mindset with experience measuring experiments and making data-informed decisions.
• Comfortable working directly with founders and executives in a fast-moving environment.
• Entrepreneurial, highly curious, and willing to own whatever it takes to drive growth.

Ideal Experience

We're excited about candidates who have helped build modern technology companies where growth came from exceptional products, creative storytelling, and innovative distribution rather than large advertising budgets.

You may have experience building growth across areas such as:

• Content and editorial strategy
• Founder-led marketing
• Organic social media
• Product launches
• Community building
• Referral and viral growth loops
• Influencer and creator partnerships
• Product-led growth
• Brand strategy
• AI-powered marketing systems
• Growth experimentation
• Lifecycle marketing
• Customer advocacy

Experience in fintech is preferred, but we're equally excited about candidates from AI, developer tools, consumer technology, SaaS, marketplaces, or other fast-growing startups known for innovative marketing and product storytelling.
You'll Thrive Here If You

• You believe distribution is just as important as product.
• You naturally think differently and aren't afraid to challenge conventional marketing.
• You enjoy building from a blank slate rather than optimizing existing programs.
• You love creating content that people genuinely want to consume and share.
• You're constantly experimenting with new tools, platforms, and ideas.
• You move quickly, learn quickly, and iterate even faster.
• You enjoy wearing multiple hats and solving problems outside your job description.
• You're excited by the opportunity to help build one of the most recognizable brands in fintech.

• Competitive salary + equity plan
• 21 days PTO
• Flexible benefits: annual medical allowance, productivity allowance, gym membership/personal well-being subsidy
• Annual team retreat trip
• Work alongside a team backed by Sequoia Capital with a healthy runway
