Growth & Community Marketing Lead

About Tezi

Tezi is pioneering “Max,” an autonomous AI recruiting agent transforming recruitment by automating sourcing, screening, scheduling, and candidate communication. Max frees hiring teams from repetitive tasks, accelerates the hiring process, enhances candidate experiences, and adheres to enterprise-grade security and bias mitigation standards. Founded by a team with extensive experience in hiring, technology, and artificial intelligence, Tezi is reshaping how companies build exceptional teams.

How We Work

• Meticulously designed: A founding team who has collectively hired 750+ employees designed every interaction along the entire hiring journey.
• Committed to calm: We work smart and hard, but chaos, thrash, and drama are inefficient and slow.
• We’re all grown ups: We all like to operate in a culture of trust, freedom, responsibility, and autonomy. That requires us to act like mature, wise adults in all matters.
• Judgment, over process: We don’t have the time and can’t afford unnecessary processes. Unless it helps us build faster, less process is better.
• The best ideas win: We encourage critical thinking, dissent, and candor. The right answer needs to win out over whoever’s just loud, vocal, powerful, or charming.

About the Role

As Tezi’s first hire in Marketing and our Growth & Community Marketing Lead, you will be integral in driving Tezi's pipeline growth, community engagement, and brand awareness. You will report to our Co-Founder & COO, working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Engineering teams. This role combines strategic oversight with hands-on execution across events, content, email marketing, partnerships, and paid channels.

Tezi gets together in-person for a week out of every 7-8 weeks. The “IRL Weeks” happen in Menlo Park, CA. During the rest of the weeks, our team executes from home or wherever else works for them.

Responsibilities

• Event Strategy & Execution: Plan, market, and execute Talent leader community dinners, happy hours, webinars, and conference meet-ups to drive pipeline and brand awareness.
• Content Marketing: Develop and execute a strategy for increasing Tezi’s thought leadership on social and in select communities – via posts, videos, podcasts, emails, and long form articles. Work with external vendors and the founders to develop this content.
• Lifecycle & Product Marketing: Keep current and former users, as well as sales prospects, engaged through a steady drumbeat of email content. Ensure they’re hearing about our rapid progress on product development.
• Partnerships: Own our strategic partner relationships, strategize with the partner, execute commercial agreements, and co-market together.
• Paid Channel Ownership: Manage and optimize paid marketing channels, including SEM campaigns, podcast sponsorships, and paid social channels.
• SEO Optimization: Collaborate with content creators and consultants to implement foundational SEO best practices – enhancing visibility to traditional search engines, as well as LLMs.

• Proven expertise in planning and marketing effective in-person events and webinars
• Track record of producing high quality content for social media, newsletters, blog posts, and video – particularly in a B2B SaaS context
• Some hands-on experience managing paid digital marketing channels (SEM, LinkedIn Ads, sponsorships)
• Basic proficiency in SEO strategy and optimization, or at least experience working with consultants on SEO work
• Excellent at learning the nuances of what customers care about and developing relevant marketing positioning
• Fluency in using the latest and most relevant AI tools. Can definitively explain how you will “do more with less” via AI efficiency gains.
• Superb collaboration, organization, and communication skills
• Thrives in an independently-directed autonomous environment with high ambiguity and little structure
• Willingness to roll up sleeves and figure things out through doing
• Prioritize and execute with urgency; you default to doing the most important things today, not tomorrow
• Eligible to work in the United States; note that Tezi does not offer visa sponsorship at this time
• Willingness to travel regularly for IRL weeks in Menlo Park, CA and for in-person Talent Acquisition community events
• Bonus points for prior experience as a recruiter and/or experience in a Recruiting Tech SaaS company
• Bonus points for already having a relevant network and/or an online following you can leverage
