Job description

About the Role

A fast‑growing, pre‑seed‑funded AI talent platform is looking for a driven Growth & Marketing Intern / New‑Grad to help build and own the company's growth engine. You'll work across the full marketing stack — outbound, paid acquisition, content, SEO, partnerships, and events — with real ownership and measurable outcomes from day one. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role at a startup operating in the HR tech and AI recruiting space, already gaining strong traction with hundreds of venture‑backed startup clients.

What You'll Do

• Own growth programs across outbound, paid acquisition, content/brand, SEO, partnerships, and events — delivering measurable outcomes end‑to‑end.
• Treat every channel as a scientific process: formulate hypotheses, run A/B tests, track metrics, and iterate continuously.
• Plan, execute, and optimize outbound programs (cold email), including managing deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain warming, sender reputation).
• Launch and optimize paid acquisition campaigns across Meta, LinkedIn, and Google.
• Create and distribute high‑velocity content — blogs, email newsletters, LinkedIn posts, social content, testimonials, case studies, and product stories — with strong brand alignment.
• Shape and execute an SEO strategy covering topic research, on‑page optimization, and internal linking.
• Build marketing partnerships and organize both online and offline events to drive real turnout.

What We're Looking For

Required

• Proven ability to own outcomes and drive measurable impact — not just execute tasks.
• Experience across multiple growth/marketing domains (outbound, paid acquisition, content/brand, SEO, partnerships, events).
• Familiarity with paid acquisition channels (Meta, LinkedIn, Google) and ability to plan, launch, and optimize campaigns.
• Scientific mindset: comfortable formulating hypotheses, running A/B tests, measuring metrics, and iterating.
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced startup environment with high ownership and cross‑functional collaboration.

Nice to Have

• SEO expertise: topic research, on‑page optimization, and internal linking strategy.
• Experience running and optimizing cold email outbound programs and managing deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain warming, sender reputation).
• Strong content creation skills across blogs, email, social, newsletters, testimonials, case studies, and product stories.
• Experience organizing online/offline events and managing marketing partnerships.
• Background or interest in recruitment, HR tech, or AI talent platforms.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation for an intern / new‑grad role.
• Visa sponsorship available.
• High ownership and career‑growth opportunity at an early‑stage AI startup with strong traction.

Location

This is a fully on‑site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be available to work in office.
