Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.

Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.

Keeping pace with this kind of prolific growth requires true generalists situated at the heart of the business: people who love variety, thrive on solving problems, and want to see how every part of a fast-growing startup works. As a Strategic Operations Associate, you will be at the center of everything that keeps Profound running, helping the team move faster, stay organized, and scale smoothly. The problems you solve will be different every day and every month, and the mandate of the role will grow with the business.
