### About Us

At Nace AI, we are redefining how professional services operate by delivering Sovereign Specialized Intelligence. As an applied research and product company, we equip enterprises with a comprehensive AI stack to build customized, secure intelligence tailored to their unique business needs.

Driven by advanced Small Language Models and our dynamic metamodel framework, our flagship platforms - Nace Data Intelligence and the Nace SLM Cloud - enable true end-to-end business process automation. The result is transformative ROI: professional services firms using Nace AI are currently recovering 1,000 hours per client engagement, drastically reducing overhead and accelerating delivery.

The work we are doing has a meaningful impact across industries, and every hire at Nace AI plays a critical role in shaping the company’s trajectory. This is a unique opportunity to join a high conviction AI company at an early stage and directly influence its growth.

If building a world-class AI team from the ground up excites you, we’d love to talk.

### The Role

As our first dedicated marketing hire, you will own the full growth surface — from paid acquisition to organic channels, lifecycle, and product-led growth. You’ll bridge high-level strategy and tactical execution, building a world-class acquisition engine that targets high-value professionals and ensures Nace AI becomes the default tool in their workflow.

This is a rare opportunity to build from zero, with direct access to founders, a strong technical team, and the resources to move fast.

### What You’ll Do

### Paid & Performance Marketing

Own strategy and execution across Search, Paid Social (LinkedIn/Meta), Twitter/X, and newsletter sponsorships

Manage substantial budgets with a relentless focus on unit economics — optimizing for LTV:CAC and payback periods

Partner with Engineering to build perfect attribution and a data-forward culture where every experiment is measured

### Organic Growth & SEO

Own SEO strategy and content distribution to drive sustainable organic acquisition

Build a content engine that positions Nace AI as the go-to resource for finance and audit professionals

Identify and develop high-intent channels like communities, newsletters, and industry publications

### Lifecycle & Retention

Build and optimize email and lifecycle flows to convert, onboard, and retain users

Develop segmentation and personalization strategies tailored to finance and audit personas

### Product-Led Growth

Experiment with PLG motions including free trials, freemium, and in-product referral loops

Collaborate with Product to surface growth opportunities within the product experience

### Brand & Team

Lead a small team of growth marketers and creative specialists to produce content that doesn’t look like ads, but like essential tools for knowledge workers

Work side-by-side with our founders and product teams in our Palo Alto office to tighten the feedback loop between acquisition and product

### Who You Are

The Operator: 6+ years in Performance Marketing, with a proven track record of scaling B2B or "Prosumer" SaaS products from $0 to $10M+ ARR.

The Leader: You have experience managing high-performing teams or agencies and know how to get the best work out of creative and technical talent.

The Generalist: You’ve owned multiple growth levers — paid, organic, lifecycle — and know how to prioritize across them based on stage and data

Analytical Rigor: You are dangerous with SQL and data visualization tools; you don't wait for reports, you build them.

AI-Native: You understand the AI landscape and are already using LLMs to optimize copy, analyze sentiment, or automate workflows.

Palo Alto Based: You value the "war room" energy of a physical office and are committed to being on-site with the team.

### Why Nace AI?

Pedigree: Work with a team from top-tier institutions and companies, backed by the best VCs in the world.

Impact: You are joining early enough to shape the culture and the growth roadmap of a company aiming to be the "OS" for professional knowledge.

Competitive Package: Silicon Valley-standard salary, significant equity, and premium benefits.
