Lead and own full growth strategy across channels to scale the AI company from $7M to $25M ARR focusing on acquisition, conversion, product-led growth, and brand.
Responsibilities
- You’ll be a core part of the growth team at Artisan. This is a foundational growth hire.
- We’re known for our marketing, and this role exists to double down on it. You’ll own how Artisan grows — from first touch to expansion — and work directly with the CEO and growth team to design and execute a strategy that takes Artisan from $7M → $25M+ ARR in the next 12 months.
- Growth at Artisan spans acquisition, conversion, product-led loops, and brand. You’ll own all of it.
- What that looks like concretely:
- Growth strategy across channels.
- Own the full growth strategy across paid, organic, brand, and product-led motions.
- Acquisition at scale.
- Scale inbound demand through performance marketing, SEO, lifecycle marketing, virality loops, and bold stunts (e.g. our “Stop Hiring Humans” billboards).
- Conversion optimization.
- Build and optimize funnels across web, product, and sales hand-off. Instrument every step and improve it with data.
- Product-led growth.
- Design onboarding flows, paywall moments, and in-product upsell and expansion paths to drive PLG adoption.
- Brand & community.
- Turn Artisan into a cult brand. Architect viral campaigns, UGC loops, and social dominance across LinkedIn, X, and beyond.
- Analytics & experimentation.
- Build the growth model, own the dashboards, and run continuous experiments across every channel.

- Strong communicator who can work directly with leadership

Other
- We're building AI employees. Not chatbots. Not copilots. Autonomous digital workers that do real jobs.
- Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR used by hundreds of companies. She researches leads, writes and sends emails in a customer's voice, runs multi-step outbound sequences, manages her own deliverability infrastructure, self-optimizes over time, and handles objections and meeting booking. She's not a tool someone uses. She's a teammate.
- We're a YC W24 company, have raised $35M+ from investors including Y Combinator, and are at $8M+ ARR. Right now we're building Ava 2.0, a step change in what an AI employee can do. The engineering problems are hard and the surface area is enormous.
- You’re not joining a growth team — you’re helping shape it. This role has direct ownership over how Artisan scales.
- You’ll work directly with the CEO on one of the most important problems in the company: growth.
- The scope is real and the stakes are high. What you build will directly affect revenue, brand, and product adoption.
- You’ll ship meaningful work every week in a fast-moving environment.
- Competitive compensation, flexibility, and autonomy in a company with real traction and real ambition.
- Team: Growth
- Reports to: CEO
- Founder mindset. Everyone acts like an owner: take initiative, think big, challenge ideas, and push for 10× outcomes.
- Obsessed with impact. We apply the 80/20 rule, kill sunk costs quickly, and focus on what actually moves the needle.
- Customer-first, always. Every decision starts with the customer experience.
- High standards, every detail. Quality matters in everything we ship, from product and code to copy and design.
- Clear, direct communication. We value candor, fast responses, and real feedback.
- Winning team energy. Positive vibes, low ego, zero drama. We genuinely enjoy building together.
