# Founding Head of GTM / Revenue at Hellyeah AI

- **Company:** Hellyeah AI
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-04-13
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08

## Job description

Hellyeah AI - hellyeahai.com http://hellyeahai.com

San Francisco Bay Area (You will be building this brand new office with our stellar team as we value your taste)

Hellyeah AI is building AI-native growth and marketing infrastructure for the next generation of fast-growing companies. Founder-led sales help us scale to well over $10m ARR in a few months. We are now looking for a Founding Head of GTM to help us build the 0→1 commercial engine.

This is not a “manage the team and read dashboards” role. This is a builder role for someone who can create pipeline from scratch, shape the category narrative, close early customers, and help define the GTM machine before it exists. We have a fully fledged, AI-native engineering team to help you build the internal AI tools you need to scale. You will work directly with the founder to turn Hellyeah from an early product into a real market movement.

We want a killer.

Someone who can take a product that is early, sharp, and dangerous — and turn it into a real commercial machine.

## WHAT YOU WILL DO

You will own the earliest stages of building a repeatable GTM motion for Hellyeah.

That includes:

- Defining and refining ICP, wedge, and early customer segments
- Turning ambiguous market demand into a sharp commercial narrative
- Building pipeline from zero through outbound, partnerships, founder-led sales, content, community, and creative experiments
- Running discovery calls, demos, pilots, negotiations, and early expansions yourself
- Helping shape pricing, packaging, offers, and service-to-product transitions
- Working closely with product and founder to convert market feedback into roadmap decisions
- Closing lighthouse customers that become case studies, proof points, and market leverage
- Building the first repeatable GTM playbook across messaging, motion, channel, and conversion
- Recruiting and helping onboard the next wave of GTM talent once the motion starts to work

## WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

This role is for someone who wants to build, not inherit. You might be a former founding AE, first revenue hire, hybrid growth-and-sales operator, or ex-founder with very strong commercial instincts. You know how to sell products that are new, imperfect, and not yet fully understood by the market.

You are excited by AI and what is possible with it. You do not wait for a fully formed brand, mature playbook, or big team before moving. You know how to get signal from messy environments and turn that into traction. You care about pipeline, customers, and revenue. You are channel-agnostic and outcome-driven.

## WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- Proven experience building pipeline from near zero
- Strong ability to sell emerging or non-obvious products
- Excellent discovery, storytelling, objection handling, and closing skills
- Ability to personally operate across the full funnel, from cold outreach to close
- Strong instinct for ICP definition, messaging, and commercial positioning
- Experience working in fast-moving startup environments
- High urgency, high ownership, and strong founder compatibility
- Comfort with experimentation, iteration, and imperfect conditions

## STRONG PLUS IF YOU HAVE

- Experience selling into founders, growth leaders, CMOs, or revenue leaders
- Experience in SaaS, AI, marketing technology, or growth infrastructure
- Experience productizing custom work or early services into repeatable offers
- Experience helping define category narrative for a new market
- Prior experience as a founder or early operator at a high-growth company
- Experience in any AI companies.

## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

In the first 3 to 6 months, success looks like:

- Build out a fully functional GTM team with multiple offices across US.
- Scale from $10m ARR to $100m ARR.

## WHAT THIS IS NOT

This is not a late-stage VP Sales role. This is not a role for someone who only knows how to manage large teams, operate mature funnels, or depend on heavy existing demand gen infrastructure. This is a 0→1 role for a builder who wants to help invent the machine.

## WHY JOIN

1. Head by seasoned startup operators including previous global head of growth at Bytedance.
2. Backed by top investors in the valley.
3. Founder led sales already surpassed $10m.
4. Super competitive pay and significant equity.

## About Hellyeah AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Hellyeah AI is an AI-native growth engine that provides autonomous digital workers to accelerate marketing teams by executing campaigns across paid media, content, lifecycle, and creative channels from a single command layer.
- **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage startup, year founded 2026, no public funding round disclosed)
- **Headquarters**: United States (two offices; specific city not publicly available)
- **Founded**: 2026
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI-driven marketing technology (Martech / Growth Marketing)
- **Target customers**: B2B, primarily lean marketing teams of 5–25 people, as well as growth teams at mid-market and enterprise companies
- **Mission / purpose**: Build AI agents that research, create, launch, and learn—compounding growth knowledge so that every campaign starts from what was learned before, never from zero.

## Products & Services
- **AIMA (AI Marketing Agent)**: The orchestration layer that accepts goals via CLI, SDK, or WhatsApp and routes them to specialized agent clusters. Acts as the central command for all growth workflows.
- **Agentic Marketing**: Autonomous end-to-end campaign execution—targeting, creative, spend, and optimization—without requiring human input at each step.
- **AI Performance Marketing**: Real-time ROAS optimization across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and TikTok, including bid, audience, and creative updates.
- **SEO / GEO Content Engine**: AI agents that research, write, and publish search-optimized and generative-AI-optimized content at scale.
- **Lifecycle Automation**: Behavior-triggered personalization for email, SMS, and in-app push.
- **Creative Generation & Testing**: Autonomous ad copy, image, video, and landing page generation with continuous A/B testing; winners ship automatically.
- **Influencer & Creator Marketing**: Quantitative ROI tracking and management of influencer campaigns.
- **Forge (Execution Layer)**: Six autonomous growth systems handling data pipelines, creative A/B testing, compliance screening, and influencer management.
- **Mutation (Intelligence Layer)**: Real-time audience intelligence and attribution that agents use to decide where to spend next and when to iterate creative.

All products are accessible via CLI, SDK, web console, or even WhatsApp, and integrate with existing stacks (Meta, Google, TikTok, Klaviyo, CMS, etc.). Spend caps, approval gates, and an immutable audit log are built in.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: Not disclosed (revenue and total funding are not publicly reported; the site mentions a $50,000/month spend cap for customers but this is not a company metric)
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Growth Signals**: Founded in 2026, the company already lists 15 open positions on Built In, indicating rapid headcount growth. Multiple case studies (six real customers) are featured on the website. The platform supports ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, DPFA, and HIPAA-ready compliance—suggesting enterprise traction.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-native agent architecture**: Unlike traditional marketing dashboards that require manual configuration and optimization, Hellyeah agents autonomously research, create, launch, and learn—compounding results over time.
- **Full-stack integration**: Operates across paid, organic, lifecycle, creative, and influencer channels from a single command layer, with an open SDK for custom HTTP APIs.
- **Compounding memory**: All outcomes are stored in a queryable Postgres + Parquet database; winners are promoted, losers pruned, and lessons written back to become the starting point for the next campaign.
- **Vendor lock-in prevention**: Users can export the entire growth memory and take it elsewhere.
- **Spend control and audit**: Immutable audit log, spend caps, and approval gates ensure budget safety and compliance.

## Strategic Focus
- **Developer-first adoption**: The CLI and SDK are the source of truth; the web console is a thin viewer. The company is hiring a Founding Head of Developer Growth to drive adoption among developers and build community.
- **Scaling the agent layer**: Continued investment in the Learn Engine (intelligence & optimization, platform & simulation) and core ad platforms to improve campaign automation and intelligence.
- **Customer expansion**: Targeting both lean teams and larger enterprises, with a focus on cross-channel execution and autonomous optimization.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Engineers are empowered to think like founders, with a strong emphasis on autonomy, creative problem-solving, and high standards for technology and product design.
- **Work policy**: Hybrid (mix of remote and on-site) with two offices in the United States. Remote options are available for some roles.
- **Team & pace**: Fast-paced, client-facing environment. The company is early-stage (founded 2026) with a small but growing team, offering significant impact per employee.
- **Tech stack**: AI-native, agentic frameworks, prompt engineering, big data systems (Postgres, Parquet, ETL/ELT), and integrations with major ad and CRM platforms.
