About Simple
Simple AI is building state of the art voice AI agents for enterprise. Our realistic agents help iconic businesses like Doordash, xAI, and Omaha Steaks handle all kinds of phone operations, from customer support to order intake to lead qualifications. We are growing revenue like crazy and looking for a founding growth marketer to build a repeatable demand-generation engine and accelerate our next stage of growth. We are very excited about the potential for AI to change the world, and work out of our SF based office. Simple AI raised $14M from world-class investors and operators like Y Combinator, First Harmonic, Massive Tech Ventures, Michael Seibel, Jared Friedman, Alexandr Wang, Matt Van Horn, Suhail Doshi, and Scott Wu.
The Team The founders (Catheryn and Zach) met while running software teams at YC, where they shipped tons of new products for YC founders, including YC’s co-founder matching site. Cat previously worked at Instagram and Facebook and earned degrees in math and computer science at MIT. Zach previously studied computer science and statistics at U Chicago and led software at PEAK6. We have grown into a strong team of 20+ and are continuing to scale quickly.
About the Role
We are looking for a Growth Marketer to build and scale Simple AI’s demand-generation engine. You will own performance marketing and paid acquisition, turning campaigns into qualified pipeline and revenue from enterprise customers. You will launch, optimize, and scale paid search, paid social, and retargeting campaigns, while testing out-of-home opportunities such as billboards and transit ads. From audience targeting and creative briefs to landing pages, budget allocation, and measurement, you will own campaigns end to end. This is a hands-on, analytical role for someone who likes running experiments and connecting results to business outcomes. You will work closely with sales and our content and creative team to improve conversion, identify what works, and scale the channels that drive growth.

What You'll Need
- Have hands-on growth or performance marketing experience at a B2B SaaS, AI, or technical company.
- Have personally launched and optimized paid campaigns on platforms such as Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, or Meta Ads.
- Can manage budgets and improve acquisition efficiency, with a track record of generating qualified leads and pipeline.
- Are comfortable with attribution, funnel analysis, and metrics such as conversion rate, customer acquisition cost, and return on ad spend.
- Can design and run structured experiments across audiences, creative, landing pages, and channels.
- Have strong creative judgment and can partner with content and design to turn ideas into effective ads.
- Can independently take campaigns from idea to launch, work closely with sales, and prioritize based on results.
