About The Position

Own positioning and go-to-market for Index, Parallel’s marketplace for the agentic web. Index gives agent builders grounded access to high-quality content, while publishers, data providers, and creators can see how agents use their work and earn from its contribution. Make the case to agent builders—from AI-native startups to large enterprises—for why Index content produces better answers, and to content owners—from news publishers to independent creators—for why they should join, what they can learn, and how they can earn. Lead launches, new content categories, and the move to self-serve; build proof programs with launch partners; and shape the public narrative about how the open web can remain sustainable as agents become its largest users, working alongside the founding team. Parallel is a web infrastructure company whose products help businesses in sales, marketing, insurance, and coding build AI agents with programmatic access to the web. The company describes its team as fully in-person, working between its Palo Alto headquarters and San Francisco office, and as a flat, talent-dense organization focused on technical and creative problems.
