Job Description
Chief Growth Officer: nSpire AI
Menlo Park, CA · Founding Team · Full-Time · Reports to CEO
About nSpire AI
We built Vera — an AI recruiting agent that runs your entire hiring function. Sourcing, screening, scheduling, candidate experience. Not a tool for recruiters. For companies that don't have a recruiting team yet, Vera is the recruiting team.
We're launching into the Bay Area startup ecosystem first and expanding from there.
The Role
This is a founding team seat. You'll own how Vera goes to market — positioning, narrative, community, pipeline, and close. You'll build in public, show up in founder rooms, and turn early customers into a momentum story that funds the next stage.
This is not a marketing role. This is not demand gen. You're building the growth function from zero around your own output.
What you'll own
→ Vera's go-to-market across the high-growth startup market
→ Building-in-public engine across LinkedIn, X, and Bay Area founder communities
→ Direct pipeline from founder and operator networks
→ Customer momentum narrative for our Series A → VC relationships across seed and Series A funds → The playbooks, systems, and early team that scale growth beyond you
You're a fit if
→ You've taken a product from zero to something people talk about — and you can name what you did → You're AI-native, not AI-curious
→ You're already in the Bay Area founder ecosystem — not planning to break in
→ LinkedIn and X are your natural medium
→ You close fast and turn customers into evangelists
→ You don't wait for a team to start shipping
Compensation
Founding-team equity. Cash discussed at offer stage.
How it works
We don't have an open application form. If there's a fit, we'll reach out with an invitation and the details.
Your first conversation won't be with us — it'll be with Vera. The product you'd be launching. She runs a real screening interview: no scripts, no keyword matching, just an adaptive conversation about who you are and what you've built. It's mandatory before the next round, and it's the product in action.
Our bar for this role is high. If you know someone who fits, send them this posting.
