## Job description

## About Merciv

Merciv is a consumer intelligence platform. We help the world's biggest consumer brands understand their consumers. We connect their internal knowledge, third-party data, and the entire open web into a unified source of truth they can act on. We raised $14M in seed funding, spent two years in stealth building and directly serving enterprise customers, and we're growing fast. We're a lean, high-ownership team. If you want to see your work make an immediate impact, this is the place for you.

## The role

We're hiring our first dedicated product marketer to own the bridge between our product and our customer — how we articulate Merciv's capabilities, use cases, value, and proof in a way that converts interest into pipeline and helps Sales close it. Our brand and content function owns awareness and top-of-funnel; you own conversion — mid-to-bottom funnel, product storytelling, and sales support. You'll be accountable for it.

Our buyer is a VP of Consumer Insights (and their peers) at an enterprise consumer company. The sale is multi-stakeholder, long-cycle, and built on trust — we're asking teams to bring their proprietary data into our platform. Your job is to make our value legible to that buyer, in their language, and to arm the champion inside every account.

This is a hands-on seat. You'll set the positioning and hold the pen on much of what carries it: decks, one-pagers, ads, simple landing pages — working within brand systems, with our brand team raising the craft ceiling where it counts.

## What you'll do

- Own positioning and messaging: value maps that ladder every capability to a quantified outcome for a named buyer — including our answer to "why not just use ChatGPT?"
- Run go-to-market for new features and capabilities: launch narrative, tiering, and the cross-functional plan across Product, Sales, and Marketing.
- Build sales enablement: pitch narrative, decks, one-pagers, battlecards, objection handling, demo scripts, and a demo video library.
- Create mid-to-bottom-funnel content: solution and use-case pages, demo narratives, case studies, and comparison content.
- Keep our competitive intelligence sharp — vs. generic AI tools, social listening platforms, and direct competitors — and feed it back into messaging.
- Run win/loss, buyer interviews, and usage research that ground the positioning in reality and inform the roadmap.
- Partner directly with the product team as capabilities are developed, so what we build and how we talk about it stay in lockstep.
- Flex into adjacent work where it moves the number: website conversion, demand campaigns alongside Product Growth, events and webinars.

## What we're looking for

- 5+ years in product marketing at a high-growth tech startup, ideally B2B selling to enterprise buyers.
- Experience positioning for senior data, insights, or analytics audiences — rigorous buyers who are skeptical of marketing claims.
- Experience marketing trust: the messaging and proof (security, privacy, credibility) that convinces enterprises to bring proprietary data into a platform.
- A track record with data-heavy B2B platforms — making complex products legible without dumbing them down.
- Shipped converting work you can tie to win-rate, conversion, or influenced pipeline — not just output.
- Hands-on: you produce the assets, not just the strategy behind them.
- A modern PMM: fluent in AI-assisted workflows and automation, with a clear view on what you automate and what you don't.
- High ownership, low ego — take direction well and push back with a clear POV.

## Nice to have

- Long-cycle, referral-driven enterprise sales motions and multi-stakeholder deals.
- AI / data / research-tech category fluency.
- CPG / consumer-brand familiarity — it's where our buyers live.
- Experience standing up a PMM function from scratch, or operating as a team of one.

## How we work

- Small team, high ownership, direct feedback. In-person in NYC.
- Evidence over opinion — message testing, win/loss, and conversion data settle debates.
- This is a results-driven role: you'll be measured on influence — win rate, conversion,
- adoption, influenced pipeline — not raw lead volume.

Hiring process An intro call with the Head of Marketing, a cross-functional conversation with Product and Sales, a working session on real Merciv material where you tell us what you'd change and why, and a final conversation with leadership where you walk us through your 90-day plan. Two references. Roughly 2–3 weeks end to end, and we'll tell you where you stand at every step.

Merciv is building the future of autonomous commerce. We're committed to assembling a diverse team of builders who want to revolutionize how the world does business. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.

## About Merciv

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Merciv provides an enterprise consumer intelligence platform that connects internal knowledge with external consumer signals, syndicated research, and product context into one living, cited source of truth.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; total funding $16.95M)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States (40 Broad St, New York, NY 10004)
- **Founded**: Conflicting reports — Built In lists 2022 [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/company/merciv), while other sources indicate 2025 [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/merciv). The founding timeline appears to relate to an earlier entity or rebranding.
- **Founders**: Shaia Erlbaum (Co-Founder, CEO) and Zander Arnold (COO, likely co-founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Enterprise intelligence / consumer intelligence / AI-powered research platform
- **Target customers**: B2B – large enterprise brands with significant internal and syndicated research needs; also teams in marketing, strategy, product, and insights
- **Mission/purpose**: “One source of truth for your consumers” – enabling teams to make defensible decisions by synthesising internal and external data with cited outputs.

## Products & Services
- **Merciv Platform** (SaaS): An AI-native consumer intelligence platform that:
  - **Research**: Query internal PDFs, presentations, reports, datasets alongside social signals (Reddit, TikTok, X, Instagram, YouTube), Google Trends, syndicated research, and the open web – all with paragraph-level citations and confidence scoring.
  - **Analyze**: Run sentiment analysis, trend detection, competitive comparisons, and opportunity mapping in plain language.
  - **Deliver**: Generate board-ready PowerPoint, Word, and Excel outputs with citations, visualizations, and recommendations.
  - **Track**: Continuous monitoring of brands, competitors, categories, and consumers with sentiment tracking, competitive alerts, micro-trend detection, and prioritised alerts.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$16.95M** – comprised of a $3.0M round (Aug 2024) and a **$14.0M seed round** (Oct 2025) led by **AI x IA** [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/merciv)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: AI x IA (lead investor in seed round); the platform integrates with 1,300+ connectors including syndicated research providers, Looker, Snowflake, Databricks, SAP, Shopify, etc.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - **Headcount growth**: 9 employees (as of mid-2026) with monthly growth of +40% and yearly growth of +100% [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/merciv)
  - **LinkedIn followers**: 623, up +19.6% month-over-month and +282.2% year-over-year [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/merciv)
  - **Open roles**: 5 active job postings (Senior Frontend Engineer, Full-Stack Engineer AI Platform, Senior Engineer Agentic Infrastructure, Senior DevOps Engineer Platform Infrastructure, Senior ML/AI Engineer Agentic Intelligence) with quarterly posting growth of +400% [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/merciv)
  - **SOC 2 Type II certified** and enterprise-ready with SSE, SCIM, MFA, and least-privilege access [merciv.com](https://www.merciv.com/enterprise)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Cited, auditable insights**: Every output includes paragraph-level citations, confidence scoring, and a complete audit trail – allowing traceability from source to recommendation.
- **Zero-training data policy**: Customer data is never used to train Merciv models or any third-party AI; each customer runs in a fully isolated tenant.
- **One unified layer**: Unlike social listening tools (Brandwatch, Sprinklr) that treat social as the whole picture, Merciv integrates internal research, syndicated reports, reviews, and the open web into a single source of truth.
- **Enterprise governance by default**: Permission-controlled access, SSO/SCIM, SOC 2 Type II, and a 24-hour breach response plan.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priority**: Scaling the platform to serve large enterprise brands, expanding connectors and agentic infrastructure, and building out the engineering team (visible in open roles for agentic intelligence, platform infrastructure, and AI).
- **Direction for growth**: Deepening the “living source of truth” concept with proactive monitoring, predictive foresight, and seamless integration with existing enterprise data stacks.

## Why Work Here
- **Engineering culture**: Small, high-growth team (9 people) with a strong technical core (4 in engineering, 1 in design); open roles span frontend, full-stack, AI/ML, DevOps, and agentic infrastructure.
- **Work environment**: Hybrid workspace (based in New York City); some roles described as “in-office” – likely expectation of regular in-person collaboration at the New York HQ.
- **Notable perks/context**: Building an enterprise intelligence platform from the ground up; direct impact on product direction; opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI agent infrastructure with a strict data privacy stance.
- **Executive team**: Co-founders Shaia Erlbaum (CEO) and Zander Arnold (COO) involved day-to-day; recent departure of founding product engineer Jared Scheib (Apr 2026) suggests normal startup churn.
