Teaser: We're eventually moving to a 4-day workweek. And you get to work from home on day one.
---
The role: Helping Y Combinator companies refine their user acquisition and conversion optimization strategy. So they get more users. Who stick around longer and pay more. We have a moat of data and tactics that make us the best. Which is why big startups work with us for so long.
- Who we are: BellCurve.com is the top startup growth agency in SF. We grow mostly YC startups.
- Clients include: Envoy, Clearbit, and Sentry. Plus a dozen more.
- Our team: 6 engineers turned marketers.
- Approach: We emphasize data — not brand voice. We care about conversion — not brand marketing.
- Prior knowledge: We will teach you everything about advanced growth tactics.
We need someone who already:
- → Is personable and can bond with others over phone calls. This has to be a strength of yours.
- → Is a strong writer.
- → Has worked for at least 1 funded startup. Can't be brand new to startup life. (No interns.)
- (If you're introverted and don't say much on a call, you won't be a good fit for this role.)
- Is concerned about process and being efficient with their time. Automate, delegate, batch.
- Lets data decide instead of exclusively relying on hunches.
- Is passionate about a long-term future in growth marketing (aka growing startups).
- Is able to quickly connect dots and come up with creative strategies on the spot.
We operate unlike a typical agency. (I wish there were a better term than "agency.") We work with clients for a long time; we see them from start to finish. You'll get a front-row seat to some of the most interesting companies. We have a profound impact on our clients' businesses and product roadmaps. They listen to us. Because we have built a moat of data and tactics that others have not figured out. (I personally learned a lot from previously running growth for Heap and Webflow.)
I have a hunch that A) operations/product leads, B) sociable engineers, and C) salespeople looking for something more than sales calls will be a great fit for this role.
How to apply:
- → Email me (Julian Shapiro): jobs [at] bellcurve.com
- → Kindly link me to your LinkedIn or attach a resume :)
- Please note you must have experience working at a funded startup.
- You must live in the US or Canada.
- If you're a fit, I will respond same-day and we'll hop on a call together.
I will look at every application very closely.
