Role details for Founding Growth Marketer

The person

  • You are the person who creates motion before there is a playbook.
  • You do not wait for a polished brand, perfect funnel, or approved strategy. You talk to users, write clearly, test angles, build lightweight demos, and come back with what is actually true.
  • You are not “marketing.” You are not “content.” You are the person who finds the path from zero attention to real demand.

What you will own

  • You will own market truth and be the voice of Classiqo.
  • That means learning what professors care about, what students respond to, and what proof Classiqo needs to earn trust & attention.
  • You will help Classiqo understand the outside world faster than a normal startup can.

What you will work on

  • Professor, student, and university discovery & partnership
  • Content that earns qualified replies
  • Lightweight demos, landing pages, notes, and experiments
  • Distribution tests across LinkedIn, email, communities, and partnerships
  • Turning conversations into product and positioning decisions
  • Finding the smallest proof that creates serious interest

You will be a fit if you can

  • Use AI tools as a daily part of your growth workflow: market research, list building, copy testing, outbound drafting, automation, CRM hygiene, landing-page iteration, and conversation analysis.
  • Create motion before there is a playbook.
  • Independently run discovery with professors, students, universities, and adjacent buyers.
  • Write messages that earn qualified replies from smart, skeptical people.
  • Build lightweight landing pages, forms, demos, email flows, LinkedIn posts, and experiments without waiting for a full team.
  • Turn conversations into sharp market notes: objections, repeated pain, urgency, willingness to pay, and product implications.
  • Separate real demand from polite interest.
  • Run small distribution tests across LinkedIn, email, communities, partnerships, and warm intros.
  • Measure what matters: reply quality, conversion, meeting quality, retention signal, and whether the message creates serious interest.
  • Move fast without sounding generic, spammy, or fake.
  • Feed market truth back into product, positioning, and hiring.
  • Preferred experience
  • Experience doing founder-led sales, outbound, growth, content, or customer discovery.
  • Experience with B2B SaaS, edtech, productivity tools, university markets, or expert-user products.
  • Ability to build simple growth systems with Notion, Airtable, HubSpot, Clay, Apollo, Zapier, scripts, or AI agents.
  • Strong writing across LinkedIn, email, landing pages, and short product narratives.
  • Experience turning messy qualitative feedback into positioning and product insight.
  • Bonus experience
  • Experience selling or marketing to professors, schools, universities, or technical audiences.
  • Experience building a content or outbound engine from zero.
  • Experience using AI to scale research, personalization, and experiment velocity without losing taste.
