Job description

Why AssemblyAI

AssemblyAI builds the best-in-class Voice AI models powering the next generation of voice applications. We have a lab, and we also power our own models in our own proprietary inference environment. Our models serve 500M+ inference calls monthly, and process nearly 2 million hours of audio daily. The Voice AI space is at an inflection point; we’re looking for the best talent we can find to join a rapidly scaling team that's defining the future of the industry.

We are one of the most capital-efficient AI companies on the planet - and are rapidly approaching $1M ARR per employee. We sit among the top 5 most revenue-dense teams within the fastest-growing AI companies today. We have thousands of customers building with us including the top startups and world-renowned enterprises, and are serving at tremendous scale: we process nearly 2 million hours of audio daily and handle more than 15 million API calls every day. This is a rare growth-stage opportunity where the business is proven, the revenue is durable, and the growth trajectory is steep and getting steeper. We have a super flat culture and expect our employees to be deeply intimate with the details at all levels.

If you've ever felt buried under layers of bureaucracy, starved of real ownership, or frustrated watching your work disappear into a slow-moving org, AssemblyAI is built differently. The company operates as a true meritocracy, with no heavy planning or approval processes and no gatekeeping on the tools or information you need. For anyone who genuinely cares about voice AI, not as a trend to chase, but as a technology to build, this is the place where the most interesting problems at the most interesting scale are being solved by a team small enough that you'll actually know everyone's name.

About the role:

We're hiring a Growth Marketing Manager to run paid programs aimed at our target accounts. That means account-based marketing through paid channels, for new logos and for existing customers we want to expand. Target-account programs are the core of this job, but you will own the entire paid budget line-item and decide how to divide it.

AssemblyAI sells Voice AI APIs to engineering teams: Pre-recorded and Realtime Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech with instant voice cloning, LLM Gateway, Speech Understanding, and the Dictation API, with more launches on the way. Our buyers pick an API on features and benchmarks, so we primarily market specific products with concrete proof. Your job is to get that proof in front of the right engineers at the accounts our sales team most wants to win, and to show what it produced in those accounts.

Day to day, you'll build cross-platform retargeting for target accounts. You'll use paid to boost our account-based programs: direct mail, Vibe, webinars and launches. You'll own geo-targeted paid for our events and field activations, and test new channels and formats quickly. You'll work with Sales, Revenue Operations and Events on ABM. You'll also run the paid side of our expansion work with the marketer who owns cross-sell and lifecycle programs.

You'll also own the full paid budget and our conversion channels: Google Ads, paid social, YouTube and others. Google search needs to keep running well, and you'll need real hands-on skill to do that. But keeping it healthy is the foundation of this job, not the center of it. Your closest partners are Product Marketing on launches, Brand Studio on creative, and our analytics team on measurement.

Why This Role Exists:

Paid is one of our largest marketing investments, and we want to ensure that investment is working on the accounts we most want to win. That means getting engineers at those accounts to see our launches, attend our webinars and events, and hear one story alongside Sales.

Retargeting, LinkedIn, Vibe, connected TV, direct mail and event promotion are account channels. They're measured on reach and new engagement inside our target accounts, and judging them on cost per click gets them wrong. Search and some paid social are conversion channels, measured on cost per activation, and they still need an owner who keeps them efficient. This role leans firmly toward account channels.

We've run tests and understand generally what works: geo-targeted around recent in-person events and field activations have brought registrations from target accounts that had never engaged with us. We want someone to turn these tests into a repeatable program they own.

In Your First 90 Days

Here's where we expect your time to go:

• Cross-platform retargeting: retargeting is live across LinkedIn, Meta, Vibe and display, so engineers at target accounts who visit the site, read the docs or watch a launch video keep seeing relevant proof

• A geo-targeted event playbook: you've run geo-targeted paid for at least two events or activations and written the playbook (audiences, timing, creative, budget and how registrations from target accounts are tracked), so anyone on th
