About the role

Why Apriora?

Apriora is one of the fastest growing startups to come out of its YC batch with strong traction. We’re generating revenue and well-funded by some of the best investors in the Valley with years of runway.

What are you up to?

Apriora is building the future of hiring. Apriora conducts job interviews in real-time with an autonomous AI recruiter. Companies use us to get the best hiring signal on their applicant pool and hire in a fraction of the time. Our AI recruiter has a live conversation over a video call with each of your candidates based on the interview questions you choose or that are recommended based on the job description. During the interview, our AI asks personalized follow-up questions in real-time based on the candidate's responses. Our AI recruiter can be customized to your roles in minutes and has already conducted thousands of interviews across engineering, IT, retail, hospitality, and more.

Why should I join?

This isn’t your typical growth marketing job. 

We’re not looking for someone to optimize existing campaigns or run playbooks we already have.

We’re looking for someone to build it all from scratch—to own the entire SQL engine. 

You’ll be the person who decides what to do, does it, and makes it work.

If you’re the kind of person who needs constant direction, detailed task lists, or an army of agencies to execute—this role is not for you.

If you’re a builder, a scrappy executor, and a zero-to-one operator who thrives on autonomy and accountability, you’re going to love it here.

What would I do?

Work directly with founders and sales leadership to drive measurable growth.

Build and launch our initial sales-led growth marketing programs—fast.

Experiment aggressively across channels (paid, organic, outbound, sponsorships, events—wherever the SQLs are).

Prioritize ruthlessly: no wasted motion, no chasing vanity metrics. Thrash is the enemy.

Own the entire funnel from first touch to SQL handoff—collaborating closely with Sales. 

Analyze results obsessively, double down on what works, and cut what doesn’t.

Get your hands dirty and create content, landing pages, nurture sequences, source partnerships, and whatever else is needed to drive SQLs.

Is this right for me?

You’re a great fit if you have the following:

5+ years of B2B growth marketing experience, ideally with hyper-growth startups.

Hands-on experience launching zero-to-one marketing programs.

Comfort working without detailed direction—you find problems and solve them independently.

Verifiable track record of driving real SQLs in an early-stage environment.

A “do whatever it takes” mindset of speed, execution, and ruthless prioritization.

Bonus points if you have familiarity with or deep curiosity about staffing, talent acquisition, or recruiting.

Why shouldn’t I apply?

You’re probably not a great fit if you:

Need stability and a traditional work environment. We’re a fast-growing startup and this role won’t be your average 9 to 5.

Aren’t interested in AI technologies or the hiring space. If you’re not genuinely interested in our product or our customers, the opportunity isn’t the right one for you.

What’s in it for me?

Responsibility: Take ownership of building the next billion dollar company

Exceptional team: Collaborate with a tight-knit team of talented builders

Impact: Sell products that directly impact people’s careers

Learning: Work with the co-founders daily in-person in SF

Upside: Competitive salary, commission, and equity

Benefits: Health insurance, unlimited PTO, company lunches, and great company events

What am I waiting for?

If you’ve gotten this far and our culture resonates with you, we want you to apply. Submit your application with the phrase “fast track” and we’ll fast track your application with an interview directly.
