Founding Growth Manager - AI Search & AEO

Founding GTME
Company: Our Partner
Location: New York, NY, In Person

Compensation: $110K-$160K+

Our partner helps brands improve how they appear in AI search. The company combines AI research, software, and hands-on execution to help enterprise customers measure and increase their visibility across conversational AI platforms. They work with a small number of high-ACV customers and differentiate through deep enterprise customization, attribution infrastructure, and direct integration with revenue and CRM systems. At the time of intake, the business was at roughly $1.5M ARR with a $5-10M pipeline, had raised $5M, and was operating with a small, high-talent team in New York. 

This is a founding growth role focused on building the go-to-market engine from the ground up. You will own the systems, signals, and campaigns that help the company identify the right accounts, reach them in creative ways, and build a repeatable pipeline motion.

You'll be responsible for building and maintaining ICP lists, creating workflows and scrapers to surface high-intent companies, identifying signals that suggest a business is investing in AI search / AEO, and running outbound and growth campaigns across channels including email, LinkedIn, events, and other creative experiments. This is not a pure sales role. It is a hands-on builder role for someone who understands GTM systems, growth strategy, and how to turn messy signals into pipeline. 

• Build and maintain dynamic ICP and target account lists
• Develop signal-based sourcing workflows to identify companies likely to invest in AI search / AEO
• Use tools like Clay and custom scrapers to enrich and prioritize target accounts
