- A data-driven owner who’s comfortable in a fast-moving, high-test-volume environment.
- Fluent English; able to work U.S. business hours (EST overlap).
- Must-have: Daily, practical use of LLMs in a real marketing workflow and the judgment to review and correct their output.

- Positive signal: Having built or supervised agentic workflows (search-term/negation analysis, anomaly detection, reporting).

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Build and manage lead-gen funnels advertorial/pre-sell pages, multi-step flows, and direct-submit funnels across our verticals.
