Run Growth Experiments
- Design and execute experiments to increase lead generation across channels
- Test hypotheses, measure results, and report findings to the team
- Double down on what works and build compounding growth loops
Build Systems

- Set up and manage the tools, automations, and analytics infrastructure that power our growth engine
Take Ownership
- Operate on a high-agency basis. If you see an opportunity or a problem, you take action instead of waiting for permission

Be AI-Native

- Use AI tools daily to move faster, think more clearly, and multiply your output
- Be a power user of the AthenaHQ platform itself, providing daily product feedback
What We're Looking For
- Strong critical thinking. Form your own hypotheses about markets and channels
- Systems-oriented mindset. Think in loops, leverage, and compounding, not one-off campaigns

- Bias toward action. Ship, measure, learn, and iterate quickly
- Clear communication
