Job Summary

Own end-to-end paid media growth for a high-growth SaaS/AI product, balancing in-house and agency work, driving pipeline and CAC improvement through rapid testing, landing-page experiments, and new channel expansion.

  • Own campaign strategy, optimization, and conversion tracking across search, social, programmatic, and emerging channels.
  • Ship proven landing pages and run rigorous A/B tests to fix funnel leaks and improve CAC, ARPU, and win rate with verticalized experiments.

Job Description

  • Running and optimizing campaigns across Google, Meta, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, and X, managing budgets, testing creative, and driving down CAC week over week.
  • exa.ai as a conversion surface. Shipping landing pages, running A/B tests, fixing funnel leaks, and building pages specific to verticals, personas, and use cases.
  • Our paid media agency relationship: setting priorities, reviewing performance, deciding what stays outsourced vs. comes in-house as we scale.
  • Scaling campaigns from self-serve developers to large enterprise buyers.
  • Testing 10+ new ad concepts per week across channels, working with our designer and creative partners to iterate on what’s converting.
  • Standing up new channels (programmatic, podcast ads, CTV) as we prove out the core ones and expand spend.
  • The growth model and dashboards. Tying every dollar to pipeline contribution, ACV influence, and win rate.

  • Web-fluent. You can ship landing pages fast, run experiments with real rigor, and know your way around the modern web stack.
  • AI-native. You get superpowers by using the latest AI tools to accomplish your work faster and with higher quality. Your instinct is to automate everything.
  • Analytically rigorous. You can measure the incrementality of a test with statistical significance and resist the urge to call a winner too early.
  • A creative marketer. You love ideating new marketing campaigns, creative angles, and copy that resonate with technical and enterprise buyers.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and building from zero. High grit, high hunger.
  • Excited to advocate for Exa. You care deeply about building perfect search.
