Founding Growth Marketer

Found AI•Chicago, IL

About The Position

Found Companies run on complex, invisible context— institutional knowledge that standard internal systems miss. Without this context, enterprise AI becomes an expensive generator of generic responses that fail to scale. Found captures your unique business context (your data, decisions, and frameworks) and builds it into a compounding Context Graph, resulting in more accurate, secure, and cost-efficient intelligence. From this foundation, our Solutions Team deploys autonomous AI systems into key business functions to capture slipped value. Our success aligns with yours as we focus on outcomes generated, not seats or tokens. We're venture-backed, working with early design partners, and selling into the office of the CFO and CIO.

Requirements

7+ years of experience running B2B demand generation and/or growth marketing, end-to-end, and can point to the pipeline you created, not just the campaigns you ran.
You execute across channels yourself (events, content, email, and web) without waiting for a team to hand off to.
You have developed or overhauled a growth marketing playbook before.
You’re fluent with the data: you set up the tracking, read the funnel, and change course on what it tells you.
Experience with growth marketing in a tech environment.
Know enough about enterprise AI or data infrastructure to write about it credibly.
Have marketed a technical or complex product to executive mid-market and enterprise buyers, and you frame value in dollars and ROI, not impressions.
Must be able to travel up to 25% of the time.

Responsibilities

Stand up the core demand channels (events, conferences, organic, ABM, email) and get the first qualified leads flowing to sales.
Ship the messaging and landing pages that turn “office of the CIO” into a copy a buyer recognizes themselves in.
Instrument the funnel so we can see what a lead costs and where it converts.
Build and co-own a qualified-pipeline target with the GTM Lead, with a clear path to owning the number outright as the demand engine matures.
Build a content and acquisition engine that produces leads without a founder in the loop.
Find the two or three channels that actually work for an audit-led enterprise sale and double down on them.
Own the full demand stack: executive events, paid acquisition, organic, ABM, and SEO, content, email and lifecycle.
Expand distribution channel partner relationships, including technical and consulting partnerships in partnership with the sales organization.
Establish, organize, and lead hosted executive events.
Own qualified lead flow: the volume and quality of leads the sales team works, measured against a shared pipeline target.
Own the story a buyer reads first: positioning, website, and campaign messaging.
Own the funnel data that tells us cost per lead, conversion, and what to cut.
Own the experiment loop: testing channels fast and killing what doesn’t pay.
Own the feedback path from campaigns back into product and positioning.
