VideoGen
Founding Growth Lead
Full-time
On-site
San Francisco, CA
$140K - $160K (OTE: $175K - $225K)

$175,000 – $225,000 OTE (25%-40% bonus on a $140-$160k base) + 0.25–1% equity. As a founding hire at a YC-backed company with 5M+ users, you'll receive meaningful equity with significant upside potential alongside competitive OTE.

About this role

VideoGen is used by 5M+ people in 190 countries. We sell horizontally through PLG (self-serve, many user types), but our core B2B use case is marketing video production. We are hiring a founding growth lead to grow our customer base and improve B2B monetization.


You'll become the in-house expert on our ICPs. You will help us turn early signals into repeatable traction, and scale our marketing budget to $1M/year+ after Series A.


What we're looking for:

  • You have an understanding of product-led growth (PLG). You've worked on a self-serve funnel and know what great looks like.

  • You have experience producing or managing video ads.

  • You can be an opinionated advocate for our marketer ICPs.

  • You have founding-level execution and have worked at a small company.

  • You're comfortable in user/customer conversations.

  • You have experience with various marketing channels and can learn quickly.


What you'll do:

Always:

  • Use VideoGen the way an ICP would and provide detailed product feedback.

  • Talk to users, customers, and prospects to capture product and market insights.

  • Set clear, measurable goals (KPIs, OKRs) and communicate with leadership.

  • Decide what we do in-house vs with vendors and manage marketing vendor relationships.

  • Use AI coding agents (e.g., Cursor) to research, run analysis, and build internal tools/automations.


Pre-Series A:

  • Manage our lightweight marketing channels: Email, SEO, organic, affiliate.

  • Lead small growth experiments to generate insights or incremental revenue.

  • Create foundational marketing materials (ICPs, Personas, Sales Decks, etc.).


Post-Series A:

  • Run a comprehensive marketing loop (SEO, paid social, search, influencers, PR, etc.) to build awareness and drive conversions among our target customers.

  • Set growth targets with leadership, execute, and hold the team accountable.

  • Help build and manage a small in-house growth team.

About the team

Anton (CEO) and David (CTO) bootstrapped VideoGen to $1M ARR in just 9 months from their college dorm rooms before joining the Y Combinator S24 batch.


We’re a small, highly collaborative team working in person at our San Francisco office. We're obsessed with shipping high-quality features to help people effortlessly create videos, inspired by the craft and polish that made products like Notion and Figma iconic.
