## Job description

## Who we are

Sapien is the engine behind the world’s most important companies. We build agents that learn how a business works from its financial and operational data: its language, operations, and economics. That understanding helps people find opportunities, make better decisions, and act. We work with complex businesses, from manufacturers and restaurant groups to the Fortune 500. Teams at companies including Bayer, Cooper Standard, Blink Charging, Carlex, and Odeko use Sapien to understand their businesses and improve how they run. Our ambition is to build the self-optimizing company by making its people and systems dramatically more capable. We’re headquartered by Madison Square Park in NYC, with $15M+ raised and backing from General Catalyst, Neo, and operators from OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Ramp, and Stripe. We’re bringing together AI researchers, engineers, and operators to build intelligence for the people who build everything else.

## The role

We're hiring our Founding Product Marketer to own how the market understands Sapien. Finance and operations teams are drowning in AI noise. Your job is to cut through it: sharpen our positioning, build the narrative that makes CFOs lean in, and arm every customer-facing conversation with messaging that lands. You'll sit at the intersection of product, sales, and the founders. You'll take what engineering is building and turn it into language buyers act on. You'll take what sales hears in the field and turn it into sharper positioning. And you'll own the launches, assets, and narrative that compound as we scale. This is a zero-to-one seat: no playbook, no existing brand machine, full ownership of how Sapien shows up in the market.

## What you'll do

Positioning & Narrative

- Own Sapien's core messaging and positioning: who we're for, what we replace, and why now.
- Build and refine buyer personas across CFOs, FP&A, finance leaders, and operations leaders, grounded in real customer conversations.
- Shape the company narrative with the founders, from website copy to investor-facing materials to category POV.

Launches & Enablement

- Own the product launch process end-to-end: what we ship, how we frame it, and how the market hears about it.
- Arm the sales team with the assets that win deals: pitch decks, battlecards, one-pagers, case studies, and competitive intel.
- Turn customer wins into proof: case studies and stories that make the next deal easier than the last.

Market Intelligence

- Develop a deep understanding of financial and operational workflows, the systems behind them, and the competitive landscape.
- Feed structured signal back to product and leadership: how buyers talk, what objections recur, and where the category is heading.

## What we're looking for

- 4–7+ years in B2B SaaS marketing, ideally at a startup or high-growth company where you were a generalist doing the work, not just managing it.
- Full-stack marketing execution. You've personally written blog posts, run ad campaigns, designed assets, pitched press, and built a content calendar. You're not specialized in just one channel, rather working across the board.
- Strong design sense. You can produce polished visuals in Figma, Canva, or similar tools. You don't need to be a professional designer, but your work should look like it came from one.
- Writing that lands. You can write a case study that a CFO forwards to their team, a LinkedIn post that gets shared, and ad copy that converts across different voices
- Data-literate. You understand pipeline attribution, CAC, ad spend ROI, and content performance metrics. You make decisions based on what the numbers say.
- Comfortable moving fast in ambiguity. There's no playbook yet. You'll build it, run it, measure it, and iterate.

## How you work (values we care about)

- AI-native. You're energized by applying AI to transform how businesses run.
- Ambiguity-shaping. You turn nebulous problems into a first pass and drive to resolution.
- Extreme ownership. You identify what's next—and do it. If you say it, it gets done.
- Speed & hustle. You bias to action and move with urgency without sacrificing quality.

## About Sapien

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Sapien builds an AI-native platform for financial and operational analysis that connects to live ERP and warehouse data to deliver autonomous, traceable insights for finance and operations teams.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Ron Nachum (CEO), Pranav Ravella (CTO), Arya Grayeli (Chief Scientist)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: AI-powered Financial & Operational Analytics / Enterprise Software
- Target customers: Mid-market to Fortune 500 companies; FP&A, strategic finance, operations, and analytics teams (B2B/Enterprise)
- Mission or purpose: To build autonomous coworkers for financial analysis that empower teams to make correct decisions, faster — reducing weeks-long processes to minutes.

## Products & Services
- **[Sapien AI Platform]**: An AI-native analytics platform that connects directly to live ERP, warehouse, and spreadsheet data (SAP, NetSuite, Snowflake, BigQuery, Excel, on-prem ERPs). It provides 24/7 autonomous analysis, anomaly detection, driver-based forecasts, variance analysis, and root-cause explanations. Every answer is traceable to source transactions and logic, enabling finance teams to verify and intervene. (Type: AI SaaS Platform)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$8.7M** (Seed round, October 2024)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lead investors General Catalyst and Neo, with participation from K5. Angel investors include executives and founders from Ramp, Cognition, Google, OpenAI, Stripe, Notion, Adobe, Pilot, and more (e.g., Russell Kaplen, Claire Hughes Johnson, Sabrina Hahn, Scott Belsky).
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew **266.7% YoY** (to 16 employees as of mid-2025). LinkedIn followers grew **113.8% YoY** (to 3,122). The company has **20 active job postings** (monthly job postings up 81.8%). They are shipping rapid product iterations and expanding into enterprise-grade features.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Persistent Business Context**: Sapien maps a company’s org structure, business rules, and definitions (e.g., "contribution margin") to its data, so context is not lost between queries.
- **Live Data Connectivity & Traceability**: Unlike general-purpose LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), Sapien stays connected to live ERP/warehouse data and provides fully traceable answers down to source transactions, significantly reducing hallucination risk.
- **SOC 2 Type II & SOC 3 Certified**: Built with enterprise-grade security and trust, with role-based access controls and a policy of never training on customer data.
- **Deep ERP Expertise**: Works across complex, legacy systems (e.g., SAP, 20-year-old on-prem ERPs) that most AI tools cannot handle.

## Strategic Focus
- **Product Expansion**: Shipping more powerful product iterations for customers, particularly for enterprise use cases (10-Q reporting, global pricing scenarios, margin variance analysis).
- **Team Building**: Aggressively hiring across engineering, operations, and GTM to build a "talent-dense, high-velocity team" tackling hard AI research and product problems.
- **Enterprise Go-to-Market**: Scaling from mid-market to Fortune 500, with a focus on automating recurring finance workflows and delivering 8-figure bottom-line impacts for customers.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Values ownership (end-to-end ownership of research, product, and customer work), inquisitiveness (always pushing for the "why" and "so what"), and adaptability (solving different, harder problems). The team is described as "talent-dense" and sits at the intersection of complex AI research, beautifully simple product, and high-impact use cases.
- **Work Policy**: On-site in New York City (NYC). All open roles are listed as on-site/full-time.
- **Notable Perks/Engineering Culture**: Engineers own key aspects of research, product, and customer work end-to-end. The company builds systems that understand context, adapt in real time, and help teams make sharper decisions. Open-ended problem scopes are a core part of the day-to-day.
