Artisan The Founding Growth Marketer at Artisan will build and optimize acquisition channels including SEO, paid search, and lifecycle email. This hands-on role involves working directly with leadership to execute campaigns, improve the website, and run product launches.

Responsibilities

You'll be our first full-time marketer.
We're known for our marketing. Billboards across San Francisco, campaigns that take over LinkedIn, a brand that punches well above our size. What we don't have yet is someone running the channels underneath it, the ones that compound month over month.
That's this role. You'll work directly with our CEO and Chief of Staff on the growth channels that bring buyers to us, and you'll be the person who actually ships the work. We're moving fast toward $25M+ ARR, and there is more to run than we currently have hands for.
SEO and AEO: How buyers find us in search and in LLMs. Growing it into one of our largest inbound channels, with a high bar on content quality, not just volume
Paid: Running paid search and paid social day to day, from creative to targeting to reporting on what's working
Lifecycle: Our email programs end to end, from trial nurture to onboarding to expansion
Website: Building out artisan.co alongside our design and front-end partners. New pages, campaign pages, and testing the path from landing page to booked demo
Launch campaigns: We ship new products and features constantly. You'll run the campaign around each one, from landing page to email to paid to launch day
Sponsorships and events: Podcasts, newsletters, and conferences. Getting them live, getting them right, and reporting on what they returned
Brand, stunts, and the big creative concepts come from our CEO and Chief of Staff. You'll be the one turning them into shipped campaigns and building the channels underneath them.
2+ years in growth or performance marketing at a B2B SaaS company, hands on
Real depth in at least two of: SEO/AEO, paid acquisition, lifecycle email

Required

You've owned launches from planning through execution. You're comfortable doing the work yourself and coordinating partners when needed.
You can pull your own numbers, investigate funnel performance, and distinguish a promising result from a misleading metric.
You can prioritize an ambiguous backlog, communicate directly, and take responsibility when something misses the mark.
We're interested in demonstrated judgment and execution. Be ready to walk through a channel you improved, the decisions you made, and what you'd do differently now.
This role is based in San Francisco. Expect close work with our CEO and Chief of Staff, short feedback cycles, and high standards for both the idea and the execution. The pace is demanding, and the team often works nights and weekends.
You'll have broad autonomy and direct access to the people making product and company decisions. We offer competitive compensation, equity, and full benefits.
Tell us about a growth program you personally owned. Include the starting point, what you changed, and the result. Links to campaigns, pages, or content are welcome; confidential metrics can be discussed without sharing proprietary material.
