Gumloop - Growth Marketing Lead (Hands-On IC)

Location

San Francisco HQ (SOMA). Full relocation covered.

Why this role exists

We’ve reached the “great product, organic love, zero-person marketing team” stage. You will be the first marketer, working directly with the founders, owning everything from positioning to paid acquisition. Think of it as a green-field experiment lab with real scale and resources behind it.
We're looking for someone to lead us on the marketing front. Someone who's done it before in some similar capacity. You would have a large budget and autonomy to experiment aggressively.

What you’ll do (first 12–18 months)

Focus area/ Hands-on work you’ll ship

PLG growth loops

Map and optimize activation → expansion funnels; design A/B tests on onboarding, pricing pages, in-product nudges, etc.

Campaign concepting & execution

Dream up, launch, and iterate paid + organic campaigns (search, social, podcasts, influencer, newsletter swaps). Own the ad manager dashboards, the copy, and the creative briefs.

Messaging & positioning (Enterprise)

Distill technical features into crisp value props for both Enterprises and individuals; pressure-test with users; direct copy on website, landing pages, and sales-enablement snippets.

Growth analytics

Instrument tracking, build weekly growth reports, and make decisions from the data (not opinions).

Marketing Experiments

Kick off one-off marketing campaigns and measure their impact over time.

Brand awareness

Secure Gumloop attention on podcasts, tech newsletters, and community events.

You might be a great fit if you…
  • Have shipped scrappy, measurable growth wins for a PLG SaaS or dev-tool product (side projects count!).

  • Are a full-stack marketer who can go from “Figma mock” to “campaign live” without waiting on an army.

  • Thrive in high-intensity, ambiguous start-up environments and bias hard toward action.

  • Know your way around attribution, marketing automation, SQL/Looker, and modern DG/paid-social tools.

  • Write tight copy, sweat the headline, and think in experiments.

  • Love sitting with engineers and designers IRL (this is an office-first role).

  • Have experience bringing a PLG product upmarket and marketing to enterprise.

Nice-to-haves
  • Experience marketing to technical audiences or builders.

  • Past work in AI, PLG products, automation, or low-code tooling.

  • Design chops (Figma) or video/editing skills for quick-turn creative.

  • You’ve been the “first marketer” before—or always found yourself acting like one.

What we offer
  • Competitive Bay-Area salary + meaningful equity (benchmarked against 2025 SF series-A norms).

  • Full health, dental, and vision.

  • 401(k) with match.

  • Paid relocation & one-month temporary housing.

  • Annual learning & tools budget.

  • A core seat at the table shaping how our product reaches millions.

How to apply

We get hundreds of low effort (AI generated) applications on this platform daily. I only care to meet people who care to really apply.

Send a short note (bullets are fine) and any assets that showcase how you’ve grown a product (campaign teardown, dashboard screenshot with context, thread, etc.) to [email protected] with subject line “Marketing IC – Your Name.” We’ll reply ASAP.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
