Chief Executive Officer
(Stealth Mode)
Location: Remote/Hybrid (US Preferred)
Type: Full-time, Founder Equity
Experience Level: 10+ years executive leadership
Company Overview
We are building the future of marketing—an AI-native firm where artificial intelligence serves as the central nervous system, making autonomous decisions at millisecond speeds while humans provide strategic oversight and creative direction. Our proprietary AI Command Center ingests data from every touchpoint and executes campaigns with unprecedented speed, precision, and scale.
This isn't about creating a point solution-- it's about fundamentally reimagining how marketing operates in an always-on, self-learning ecosystem that delivers compound revenue gains across the entire customer journey and allows teams to invest in growth vs manual tasks.
Our AI business is an independent part of a larger marketing firm, so the resources of a larger firm will be available for a startup that has freedom and the financial potential of an AI unicorn.
