Description
Ajax uses AI to automate timekeeping for law firms. Customers love us - 14 of them have angel-invested their own money, we win 97% of our pilots, and in 4 years of operation, we've never churned a logo.
Almost none of that growth came from marketing. There is no marketing team. Demos from our website have tripled since January without anyone working on it full-time. Referrals make up 40% of our new deals, without our running a referral program. One conference produced seven figures of pipeline this spring, and we planned it off a spreadsheet in a week.
You'd be employee #1 in marketing at a company whose customers already do half the marketing for us. Your job is to build the machine that compounds it.
LOCATION
Mon-Fri in NYC HQ (we work best shoulder-to-shoulder), plus occasional travel - lawyers go to conferences, we do too.
ABOUT AJAX
Lawyers track their time in 6-minute increments. Lost billables cost them $100B a year. Ajax captures everything a lawyer works on and turns it into polished time entries. Firms find revenue they didn't know they were missing, and the worst part of a lawyer's day gets 90% better.
It took a year to reach $1M in ARR. The next million took 3 months. We're well over $3 million now and still accelerating, with hundreds of law firms on board and many more to come.
WHY THIS ROLE IS CRITICAL
Our best channels don't currently have an owner. Our best-converting, fastest-payback deals come from referrals, conferences, affiliate partners, and word of mouth - all of which we currently manage ad-hoc or not at all.
We could be doing a lot more. In addition to the channels mentioned, we currently have agencies running paid, SEO/AEO, and LinkedIn organic. Your work will be to manage these channels and more (paid GPT? influencer marketing?), analyze what's working, and allocate spend and energy accordingly. Put another way - you'll get more scope than you can handle, guaranteed.
