What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Ops position at Conversion?
About Us
Conversion is the AI-native marketing automation platform for modern software companies. Our platform lets growth teams run their entire go-to-market motion in one place, from acquisition through retention, with AI agents doing the work that legacy tools like Marketo, HubSpot, and Pardot can't.
We've raised $28M from Abstract Ventures, True Ventures, and HOF Capital. The team is based in San Francisco and includes engineers, designers, and operators from Airbnb, Palantir, Pinterest, IMC, Shopify, LinkedIn, and Microsoft.
About The Role
You'll own the operational backbone of Conversion. That means leading our recruiting engine from scratch, owning company finances, and execution on the legal and administrative side. You'll work directly with the founders and touch nearly every part of the business.
This role is in-person 5 days/week in San Francisco.
