The Role
As a founding member of Pilot's growth team, you'll dramatically accelerate P i lot's revenue trajectory by systematically running a series of data-driven growth experiments targeted at getting Pilot in front of folks that should be our customers.

We eyeroll a bit at the term "growth hacker," but we strongly believe that there's a lot of interesting work to be done that doesn't fall into the traditional B2B marketing playbook-interesting work that's uniquely enabled by a non-traditional data-driven, creative approach to the problem. And the scorecard is super-clear: ROI.

If you like puzzles, like to move fast, and like ownership, you'll love this role.

We move quickly and are prepared to deploy significant resources to fuel things that are working: t his is a big, blank canvas opportunity, backed by an A team at a fintech startup with top - tier investors.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with Pilot's CEO and marketing team to brainstorm and execute on new, out-of-the-box experiments that directly drive revenue and customer adoption
• Use your technical and analytical abilities to scalably do things that are either impossible or impractical for the average marketer
• Start, optimize, repeat:
  • Form a hypothesis about how we might get in front of people who should be Pilot customers
  • Try it out, see if it works
  • If it does, scale it up until you hit the point of diminishing returns
  • If it doesn't, shut it down
  • Come up with the next hypothesis

About You

• You don't have to have prior growth experience like this-we've always been a big believer in betting on slope rather than y-intercept, but we want to see either:
  • 3 years of growth marketing experience, or
  • 5 years of software engineering experience at high-growth startups
    • Definite bonus points if you've been a founder
• You're a hacker and a product thinker
• You love solving puzzles, iterating, and optimizing
• You're curious, creative, and extremely self-directed
• You're fluent in Python and SQL
• You're competitive and want to win
• Nice-to-haves but not required:
  • SEO/SEM experience
  • Experience with Salesforce
  • The real requirement here is that you're a smart, data-driven, methodical, experiment-oriented person who is going to scrappily try a bunch of new things-and if you're that type of person, we're sure you can pick up whatever you need to know to interface with any of our existing systems and tools effectively
