About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, launch, and evaluate a continuous portfolio of growth experiments across acquisition, activation, and referral
Build and maintain a rigorous test-and-learn framework: clear hypotheses, defined metrics, disciplined post-mortems
Identify and exploit non-obvious acquisition channels — communities, integrations, partner loops, viral mechanics
Work closely with product to find growth loops embedded in the product itself: onboarding hooks, referral triggers, retention signals
Use AI as core infrastructure for research, outreach personalization, content generation, and workflow automation
Attend 3–5 Bay Area startup events per week — accelerator demo days, VC-hosted dinners, founder meetups
Become the known SimpleClosure face in SF — the person the ecosystem thinks of when the words 'shutdown' or 'wind-down' come up in conversation

Requirements

What you’ll need

Already living in SF and plugged into the ecosystem, or a demonstrated track record of building community presence quickly in a new city
Genuine social energy — you are energized by events and people, not drained by them
Demonstrated growth track record: scrappy, high-impact experiments at an early-stage or growth-stage startup
Strong analytical foundation: you pull, interpret, and act on data without needing a data analyst
AI-native: you actively use AI tools to multiply output and you are constantly exploring what is newly possible
Comfortable with ambiguity, energized by uncertainty, driven to create something from nothing
