Original employer description

Demand Generation Lead
At some point in the future, every business will answer their phone with voice AI. We are building the platform that makes it possible.
Phonely builds conversational voice AI agents for high volume phone workflows. Our customers use us to qualify leads, book appointments, route calls, and resolve real customer conversations in production. We are growing fast and just getting started, and we need someone to build the engine that turns that growth into predictable pipeline.
About the Role
Right now, our growth comes from a product people love and word that's spreading on its own. Imagine what happens when someone actually builds the machine behind it.
That's this role. You will own demand gen at Phonely from the ground up, and you will be the one building it, not handing it off. You will architect our HubSpot, define the funnel, and run the experiments that turn interest into pipeline into revenue. You report to the founders, work shoulder to shoulder with sales, and your wins show up directly in the numbers. If you want a seat where your work compounds and the ceiling is enormous, this is it.
We want someone who treats marketing like a science: form a hypothesis, run the test, read the data, and double down on what works. This is a strong individual contributor role. You are doing the work, not managing a team.
What You'll Do
Own the full demand gen funnel, from first touch to closed revenue.
Build and run our HubSpot: lifecycle stages, lead scoring, attribution, reporting, and automation.
Define and instrument the metrics that matter: CAC, conversion rates, pipeline contribution, channel ROI.
Run experiments end to end: hypothesis, test, measure, decide.
Build nurture and onboarding sequences across pipeline segments.
Grow the channels: SEO, paid, email, partnerships.
Work with sales to sharpen the handoff and lift lead quality.
Share what you learn: what you tested, what worked, what's next.
What You'll Bring
3-5 years of demand gen or growth marketing experience at a B2B SaaS or tech company.
Background at an early-stage startup where you built the function from scratch.
Deeply metrics-focused. You instinctively reach for the data and you are rigorous about tracking.
A test-and-learn operator: you build hypotheses and run real experiments to validate them.
AI native. You use AI tools daily to move faster and you are excited about where this is going.
Hands-on HubSpot experience. You have set it up yourself, not just used a setup someone else built.
A strong individual contributor who ships the work directly.
Why Join Phonely
We are a team of ex-athletes, founders, and builders with low egos and high standards. We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. On-site in San Francisco, meals covered, quarterly offsites to interesting places (Rocky Mountains, Costa Rica, Indonesia), and meaningful equity in a company that is growing fast. You will work directly with the founders and own demand gen from the ground up.

Step 3
Each angle below starts from a real signal in the posting. The phrase “if this reflects your real experience” matters — don’t invent experience you don’t have.
Angle 01
Lifecycle / CRM angle
If this reflects your real background, emphasize: segmentation and lifecycle journeys, CRM tooling and journey orchestration, and retention, activation, and reactivation impact

Angle 02
Marketing ops angle

Keyword stuffing, fabricated bullets, or borrowed metrics tend to backfire in the first screen. Use these as a checklist, not a script.
