Briefly is a short-form, audio-only podcast app. We find the moments worth hearing in the shows people love and serve them as 5–15 minute Briefs, in the show's real audio, never an AI summary. We're a small, talent-dense founding team with strong opinions, and our goal is to change how the world listens to podcasts.

We're in public beta and looking for the person who will own how the world finds out about it. As Chief Marketing Officer you'll own the growth number, new listeners who come back every week, and be the source of urgency behind it. We grow aggressively, and we understand exactly why something worked before we do more of it.

You don't need to be an industry veteran yet. We care more about what you've built with AI, how fast you learn and how well you communicate than about years on a CV. If this sounds like you but you don't tick every box, apply anyway.

What you'll own

  • The growth number: new listeners who make Briefly a weekly habit, and how many of them become paying listeners.
  • A weekly growth review: what moved, why, and what we do next.
  • Being the face and voice of Briefly: short videos, lives and posts that show people why a Brief beats a backlog.
  • Our channels end to end: TikTok, Reels, YouTube, X, creators and podcasters, referral and the App Store. Take at least two of them from zero to real scale.
  • An AI-native growth stack: agents and automations for content, research, outreach and reporting, so a small team moves like a big one.
  • Fast learning loops across creative, channels and onboarding: test daily, keep what works, kill what doesn't.
  • Building and leading the growth team as we scale, side by side with the founders on product, story and strategy.

What we're looking for

  • You've built something with AI. Agents, automations, a tool, an app or a workflow made with prompting and coding tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code. Show us.
  • You treat creative as the main lever: you know why a hook works and turn what the numbers say into the next video.
  • You communicate clearly and with energy, in writing and on camera. You're an extrovert who's happy being the public face of Briefly.
  • You have a proven record of growing fast yourself: you can show where you started, what you learned and how far you went.
  • You make good calls with incomplete information, and you can tell when a number can't be trusted.
  • You reason from what Briefly is worth in one listener's day, not from a generic growth playbook.
  • A founding-team mindset: collaborative, low ego, comfortable with ambiguity, and set on growing Briefly to immense heights together.

You'll stand out if

  • You've shipped an AI project people actually use, and can walk us through how you built it.
  • You've grown an audience, a community or a product of your own, even a small one.
  • You've made content that took off on TikTok, Reels, YouTube or X.
  • You've written an ambitious, data-backed plan nobody asked you for.
  • You've been early at a startup, or started something yourself.

How we work

  • Hybrid: time together in person to plan, create and film, and focused time wherever you work best.
  • Fast: we decide quickly, test in days not quarters, and review the numbers every week.
  • Honest: we don't expect deep expertise in every channel. Tell us your gaps and how you'd cover them.

How we hire

  1. Step 1: Apply

    Show us what you've built with AI, how you've grown, your best work and why Briefly. About 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2: Intro call

    30 minutes on video with a founder: you, us, and the role.

  3. Step 3: Growth plan

    A short working session on how you'd grow Briefly's first 100,000 listeners.

  4. Step 4: Meet the team

    Time with everyone you'd work with, then a decision within a week.

Sound like you?

Applying takes about 15 minutes. We read every application, and you'll hear from a founder either way.
