• *About the Company**

We're an early-stage AI SaaS company building a research platform that helps philanthropic and nonprofit leaders make faster, smarter funding decisions. Our mission: drive more impact in the lives of people and the planet.

Traditional philanthropic research is slow, fragmented, and prone to bias. Our platform changes that. Users run landscape analyses, evaluate grant proposals, and stress-test their assumptions in a single click — combining curated US research with Candid's (a leading nonprofit data provider) vetted organizational records. An AI screening layer filters incoming requests, surfacing only what's worth deep analysis. We're not replacing experienced • Program Officers*

— we're giving them superhuman analytical power.

Our customers are US-based philanthropic funders (family offices, foundations, high-net-worth individuals deploying five-figure+ grants) and nonprofit leaders ( • Grant Writers*

, • Grant Evaluators*

, • Program Directors*

designing evidence-backed programs).

We've completed our beta with 130 participants and secured angel investment. Our • Founder*

brings 25 years of nonprofit fundraising experience, having raised hundreds of millions of dollars and led mission-driven organizations at the highest levels. • *OUR COMPANY VALUES**

guide our team and shape our culture • 🤝 • *High Trust, High Capacity:**

Self-motivated professionals who don't need hand-holding. Trust is extended first, freely and fully. • 🎯 • *Impact Over Niceties:**

The work is the binding force. We connect as humans, but don't force social rituals. • 🔍 • *Data Integrity:**

We prioritize the highest-integrity outputs and advocate for verification at every step. Trust, but verify. • 🧘 • *Take Care of Yourself:**

Take the walk. We trust you to know when you need a break. • 🌱 • *You Get to Be You:**

Low pressure to fit a mold. Bring your full self and your best work.

We're fully remote. Our core team includes our • Founder*

, four • Software Engineers*

in Kenya, two researchers curating our database, an • AI Expert*

optimizing our builds, and an • Executive Assistant*

. We partner with a UI/branding agency for design and communications.

The culture is heads-down and purposeful. We run early-week and late-week check-ins and trust work happens in between. We're calendar-driven — meetings and work blocks get scheduled. We care about each other as humans and respect wellbeing, but social performance isn't expected. You'll find a team genuinely bought into the mission. • *About the Role**

We're looking for a • *remote SaaS Growth Marketing Manager**

to build and own our marketing function from scratch.

You'll be our first marketing hire, working directly with our • Founder*

to transform ad hoc efforts into a systematic, conversion-focused engine. You'll develop phased strategy, drive • Founder* • led content and webinars, design email nurture sequences, integrate agentic AI workflows, and manage our CRM and creative partnerships. We have the pieces — you'll architect the system that ties them together.

The challenge: you're marketing to highly intelligent, mission-driven professionals — philanthropic leaders and nonprofit executives deeply skeptical of being sold to. They respond to trust, credibility, and intellectual rigor, not persuasion. If you've cracked conversion for knowledge-worker audiences that don't think they're influenceable, you'll thrive here. As our first marketing hire, you'll shape the function and potentially build a team as we scale. • *Our IDEAL CANDIDATE**

brings 3–5 years in • Growth Marketing*

or • SaaS Marketing*

. You think in systems, not tactics — obsessed with data, running experiments, letting metrics guide decisions. You've built marketing machines that run without constant supervision and cracked trust-based conversion for skeptical buyers. You write clearly and earn trust through credibility. You're scrappy, comfortable building from scratch with limited resources. You have genuine affinity for the impact sector — it shows in how you tell stories. You're kind, direct, and able to lead a • Founder*

through unfamiliar marketing territory, translating strategy into plain language. You're entrepreneurial, energized by ambiguity, and want to own outcomes. • *Performance Metrics:**

Your performance will be measured first by activity-based KPIs — committing to a set of actions and executing on schedule — then by outcome-based metrics like pipeline gro
