About this role
We are looking for a Founding Growth hire with 2-5 years of experience to own and operationalize Known's go-to-market motion as we scale across the US. You're someone who's done growth at a consumer startup — ideally one that's made the Series A to Series B leap — and you thrive as a chief organizer, not just a strategist. You'll work directly with our co-founder to build a repeatable, scalable GTM playbook as we launch city by city. This is a high-urgency role at an 18-person team sprinting toward a Series A in the fall, backed by Forerunner, NFX, and Pear VC.
What will you be doing?
Building and refining a repeatable go-to-market playbook for launching Known in new cities (San Diego, LA, New York, Chicago, and beyond)
Organizing the GTM motion writ large — budgets, partnerships, launch timelines, and creative strategies both on-the-ground and digital
Tracking growth metrics and optimizing city-level launch performance
Managing or overseeing UGC creators and partnership channels
Traveling with the team for 2-3 week launch sprints in new markets
What happens next
Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.
Confirm the fit
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I pitch you to the company
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
A meeting lands on your calendar
When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
