Growth Marketer/Digital Marketing ManagerAugust Venture Talent

As our client's Growth Marketer, you’ll be the creative and analytical engine behind the launch of early-stage, AI-powered products—crafting smart campaigns, shaping go-to-market strategy, and helping meaningful tools reach their audience. You’ll work closely with the founders to test, refine, and scale what sticks.

WE CAN ONLY CONSIDER LOCAL CANDIDATES.

What You’ll Do

• Design and execute campaigns to drive user acquisition and engagement, with a primary focus on organic strategies while integrating other high-leverage channels as needed.

• Track and analyze campaign performance, setting benchmarks and iterating to optimize ROI.

• Collaborate with founders to prioritize products and target audiences, and align marketing strategies accordingly.

• Create compelling content and copy for landing pages, social posts, and campaigns. 

• Coordinate with internal developers or freelancers for campaign support, ensuring seamless delivery.

What Success Looks Like

• Within 6 Months: Launch 3–5 creative campaigns, establish performance benchmarks, and demonstrate a disciplined test-learn-iterate process.

• Within 12 Months: Deliver at least one high-impact campaign driving significant leads or engagement. Scale successful strategies and potentially lead a new marketing team member.

• Ongoing: Build organic followings on key channels, prove ROI to unlock resources, and share market insights for product prioritization.

What You Bring

• Experience: There is no set experience requirement and we are looking for talent and drive rather than number of years. Typically, a person in this type of role will have 5 - 1o years of marketing experience with emphasis on in growth or digital marketing. Key to the role is a strong experimentation mindset.

• Technical Skills: Proficient in analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics) for ROI tracking, social media for engagement, and tools like Canva for content creation. Strong copywriting and cross-platform content creation skills. Basic data analysis required; SQL knowledge preferred.

• Knowledge: Deep understanding of organic growth strategies, audience targeting, and campaign measurement. Familiarity with AI tools or finance markets is a plus.

• Problem-Solving: Proven ability to design measurable campaigns under budget constraints, shown through past successes or projects.

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial Drive: You excel in a fast-paced, unstructured startup, taking initiative without heavy budgets.

• Creative Spark: You craft innovative campaigns, like influencer collaborations or niche event disruptions, that cut through noise.

• Analytical Rigor: You’re data-driven, setting clear metrics and pivoting based on insights.

• Collaborative Spirit: You align with founders and developers, translating market needs into actionable campaigns.

• Adaptable Mindset: You embrace experimentation and move quickly when strategies need to shift.

• Passion for Impact: You’re excited to engage unique audiences and drive growth for AI products.

Our client company is a dynamic product incubator founded by two entrepreneurs with a long history of building data-driven companies. They've built three successful companies and currently lead a fintech platform that analyzes consumer behavior trends to inform investment decisions. Its financial success provides the foundation for funding and supporting the development of new products through the newly formed product incubator.

This company exists to take bold product ideas—especially those powered by AI—from concept to real-world testing. We move quickly, keep teams lean, and invest in what gains traction. The environment is founder-led, hands-on, and collaborative. Engineers, marketers, and contributors work closely with the founders from idea through launch, shaping what gets built and how it reaches the market.

The culture values curiosity, experimentation, and clear thinking. Whether it's a technical prototype or a live campaign, the priority is simplicity, speed, and momentum—testing early, discarding what doesn’t work, and evolving what does. If you love doing and building—this company offers a refreshingly action-oriented environment.

The company is based just outside of Louisville, KY in a park-like setting. While each project may take a slightly different form, the pace is consistent: fast, iterative, and execution-driven. Strong contributors are often rewarded with expanded roles as products gain traction and the team grows. The team works on what matters most, with clear priorities and minimal distraction.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a creative, performance-driven marketer who thrives on autonomy, experimentation, and fast feedback loops. You won’t be handed a playbook—instead, you’ll be expected to develop and lead campaign strategies from the ground up, helping new products find their first traction in the market.

You’ll work directly with the founders—experienced entrepreneurs with a track record of building and scaling successful ventures. They move quickly, think clearly, and value contributors who take initiative. While you’ll collaborate closely, they’ll look to you to propose ideas, test bold hypotheses, and drive marketing momentum.

The role offers genuine creative freedom in an environment that rewards movement, not perfection. There’s no brand team or rigid structure—just a lean, nimble group building real tools for real users. Resources are in place to support what works, and as products scale, there’s room to grow into a leadership role.

If you’re a builder at heart—someone who blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution—and you're energized by launching meaningful tools into the world, this is a rare opportunity to own growth in its purest form.

You’ll be based in a beautiful setting, with a private office, working closely with the founding team in a small, focused group committed to bringing new products to life.

This is an in-person role based in the Louisville metro area. The team operates from a beautifully appointed office where each team member has a private workspace—allowing for focused, high-impact work in a collaborative and energized setting.

You are offered a compelling combination of stability, autonomy, and performance-based reward:

• Competitive salary, based on experience and impact
• Year-end bonus, tied to individual and company performance
• Health insurance premium reimbursement
• Flexible work hours, with unlimited PTO
• A proven track record of rewarding high performers with significant raises and opportunities to grow with the company

You’ll also have what you need to succeed from day one:

• All necessary equipment, software, and subscriptions provided
• Private office space within a quiet, high-functioning environment
• Access to nature trails and a nearby park, just steps from the office—ideal for recharging between high-focus work sessions
