Founding Growth Marketer

Y/n is creating a new form of entertainment: interactive stories. Y/n lets people play a character in a book, finally letting anyone meddle with the universes and characters they care about.

Our mission is to build a superhuman A.I. storyteller and distribute it to billions of people. We're giving the technology to creators, so they can turn their most ingenious ideas into stories others can live in.

To date, people have sent over one billion messages on Y/n. Teenagers and twenty-somethings are going to imaginary schools, falling in love with fictional people, and living out entire lives in A.I.-generated stories made for them.

Soon, billions will play stories too, across every genre, in text, in video, alone or with their friends. By 2030, playing stories will become the dominant form of entertainment.

Our culture is simple:

• Story quality determines Y/n's success, so we hire people obsessed with making stories great.
• We are commercially minded. We want people who use their abilities to make numbers go up.
• We run Y/n like a hedge fund: a small group of people making very big bets on model training and network effects. We hire people who think rigorously and own their domain.

We've raised $14M from top investors, and we're hiring for several roles.

If you want to live in pursuit of superhuman storytelling, join us.

TL;DR: Come up with good ideas for marketing channels, test them, and own them end to end.

This can mean running our ads and creative pipeline: commissioning ads, learning what works, doubling down, and scaling spend across channels.

Or it can mean running creator partnerships. E.g., partnering with BookTokers, convincing YouTubers to film reaction videos, and building out a UGC creator program.

Mainly, however, you’ll be our first growth hire. The job is finding out what works.

We aim to make hiring simple. You'll have:

1. Two interviews with the team.
2. A day-long (paid) work trial.

• Location: San Francisco, California (on-site)
• Compensation: $130,000–$300,000 USD annually, depending on background, skills, and experience.
• Visa Sponsorship: We sponsor visas. While we can't guarantee success for every candidate or role, if you're the right fit, we're committed to working through the visa process together.
• Benefits: Generous health, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited PTO, and relocation support as needed.

• You are smart as hell, hungry to win, and believe in our values.
• You get our audience: teenagers and twenty-somethings who live on the internet and love stories and fandoms.
• You can read charts well, want to measure everything, and kill what doesn't work.
• You have good takes, proactively.
• You've owned a meaningful paid budget across Meta, TikTok, or Google.
• You are comfortable with open-ended work like "figure out the good marketing channels."

Some experience as an early member of a project or company is a nice-to-have. Holistic growth experience is good too.
