Job description

Overview

Join to apply for the Founding Marketer role at daydream .

Base pay range : $170,000.00 / yr - $190,000.00 / yr

At daydream, we're building the future of growth marketing. Our mission is simple : companies should pay for outcomes, not tools. To make that real, we’ve built a vertically integrated software and services stack that delivers exceptional growth results — fast, repeatable, and reliable. Today, we execute AI-enabled SEO playbooks for companies like Replit, Clay, and Hims. Tomorrow, we’ll expand across every major growth channel.

Growth marketing is notoriously hard to get right. The best talent is scarce, agencies are slow and inconsistent, and quality often suffers. We’re changing that. By pairing world-class AI systems with a team of experts, we automate the hardest parts of growth and give our customers an edge that compounds over time. Founded in San Francisco, we’ve raised over $20M from First Round Capital, Basis Set Ventures, WndrCo, and angels including the growth leaders from Notion, Airtable, Webflow, and Dropbox. Our investors also include operators like Lenny Rachitsky and Eli Schwartz, author of Product-Led SEO. We’re backed by people who know growth inside and out — and we’re just getting started.

Please note : This is an in-person role at our Hayes Valley office in San Francisco. For those outside the Bay Area, we offer paid relocation.

What You'll Be Doing

As our Founding Marketer , you’ll be responsible for owning the full inbound engine at daydream—from content to community to thought leadership. This is a critical role : all of our revenue to date has come from inbound leads, and we want to double down on that motion.

  • Own content marketing end to end—including written content, SEO education, and long-form thought leadership.
  • Create high-quality courses that help teach the fundamentals of modern SEO, GEO, and AI-enabled growth.
  • Build and nurture a community of modern growth marketers—especially those operating at the frontier of AI, content, and SEO.
  • Collaborate closely with our data science and product teams to translate internal research into public-facing content, case studies, and original insights.
  • Define and evolve the narrative around daydream—cementing our position as the go-to brand for generative engine optimization.
  • Act as the voice of the brand, working with the CEO and Head of Growth to define our public presence and shape the industry conversation around GEO.

You’ll be an excellent fit if you

  • Have 5-7+ years of experience in content, brand, or growth marketing
  • Have built content that drove measurable pipeline—not just traffic
  • Are an excellent writer and editor with a strong product + audience POV
  • Are excited about the intersection of AI, search, and growth
  • Are eager to build from 0 → 1—laying down the systems and strategy from scratch
  • Are as comfortable rolling up your sleeves to write a long-form post as you are crafting the overall content roadmap
  • This role won't be a good fit if you

  • Prefer following marketing playbooks over creating them from scratch
  • Get overwhelmed by ambiguity, speed, or a blank Google Doc
  • Want to market a product, not define a category
  • Think “thought leadership” means reposting trending LinkedIn takes
  • Ideal background

  • Experience leading growth or brand marketing in a high-growth B2B startup
  • Strong familiarity with modern SEO and / or AI trends
  • Bonus : experience building courses, educational content, and community.
  • Compensation

  • Total compensation - Base salary $150K-$170K; On-target earnings (OTE) : $170K–$190K / year (bonus tied to marketing outcomes) plus generous equity in daydream.
  • Full medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
  • Hybrid : 3 days / week in our San Francisco office (Hayes Valley).
