About the RoleThis is a founding GTM position at a seed/Series A AI SaaS company operating in the government contracting and GovTech space. You'll work directly with the founding team to build a go-to-market engine from the ground up - wiring LLM-driven workflows, enrichment pipelines, and agentic automation into a scalable growth system.
This role is purpose-built for an
AI-native marketer who ships systems, not just manages campaigns. You'll translate complex technical AI capabilities into compelling narratives, own the full funnel, and run high-velocity experiments that drive measurable growth.

- Run high-velocity growth experiments on messaging, channels, and ICPs - shipping daily, iterating weekly.
- Translate technical AI and product details into customer-facing assets: decks, demos, one-pagers, case studies, and landing pages.
- Design and execute end-to-end campaigns across email sequences, paid/social, webinars, conferences, and ABM targeting federal primes, contractors, and government agencies.
- Own funnel metrics (CAC, LTV, conversion rates), build dashboards, and continuously refine strategy based on data.
- Partner cross-functionally with product, sales, and deployment teams to align GTM motion with ICPs and delivery realities.
What We're Looking ForRequired:- 3-8 years in marketing, growth, or GTM - ideally at early-stage or high-growth startups.
- Proven track record building marketing systems from scratch: automation, attribution, integrations, and iterative learnings.
- AI-native workflow builder: hands-on experience using LLMs for enrichment, personalization, classification, and content generation, with shipped automations across platforms.
- Comfortable working with APIs and automation builders, even without writing production code.
- Experience marketing AI/ML, developer tools, or SaaS products.
- Familiarity with GovTech, compliance, or federal contracting ecosystems.
- Strong communicator who can distill technical product detail into crisp, customer-facing narratives.
- Ability to own numbers end-to-end: define CAC, LTV, and funnel metrics; build dashboards; drive data-informed decisions.
- U.S. citizen or Green Card holder (legal requirement for government-adjacent work).
Nice to Have:- Background in growth marketing, product marketing, or demand generation.
- Prior experience in GovTech, defense, or federal contracting markets.
Compensation & Benefits- Salary: $140,000 - $190,000 per year, depending on experience.
