Founding Marketing Operations Lead

Listen Labs is an AI-powered research platform that helps teams uncover insights from customer interviews in hours, not months. Teams use Listen to analyze conversations, surface themes, and make faster, smarter product decisions. Founded by serial entrepreneurs with a previous AI exit, and talent from Jane Street, Twitter, Stripe, Affirm, Bain, Goldman Sachs, and multiple Sequoia-backed startups. Backed by Sequoia Capital, Conviction, AI Grant, and Pear VC. 40-person team, growing from $0 to $14M run-rate in under a year, with enterprise wins at Google, Microsoft, Nestlé, and P&G.

About the Role

Listen Labs is hiring a Growth Operations Lead to work directly with their Head of Growth and build the foundations of their growth engine. You will own the entire MarTech tooling stack, from HubSpot configuration and lead routing to lifecycle automation and multi-touch attribution. This is a zero-to-one role — you will set up core systems from scratch and scale them.

This is not a narrow execution role. You will be the person who makes marketing workflows possible, ensures clean data flows across marketing and sales, and builds the operational foundation for a company defining a new category. HubSpot is a non-negotiable. Everything else builds from there.

Key Responsibilities

Own the marketing tech stack, evaluating, implementing, and optimizing martech tools to power automation, analytics, and experimentation

Set up and configure HubSpot from zero, integrating with existing tools including Default (lead routing and scoring) and Loops (marketing automation)

Ensure clean, accurate data flows across marketing and sales and implement multi-touch attribution models that accurately assess marketing performance

Build and maintain automations, QA, and lead routing and scoring systems that power accurate and scalable campaigns across paid, email, events, and web

Leverage AI tools like Clay and other automation platforms to accelerate prospecting, enrichment, and campaign orchestration

Align with Growth, Sales, and Engineering on definitions, handoff processes, routing rules, and reporting

Create the core processes, workflows, and playbooks that define marketing operations as Listen scales

30 to 90 Day Ramp

Day 30: Deep understanding of current tech and tooling stack, HubSpot integration process underway

Day 60: HubSpot integration largely complete, marketing automation, and lead routing and scoring workflows in place

Day 90: Lifecycle marketing automation fully dialed in, personalized, segmented, and fully ramped
