About the Role
Fulcrum is seeking its founding Demand Generation hire to establish the pipeline engine from scratch. This role will own the top-of-funnel for both mid-market and enterprise segments, encompassing outbound campaigns, paid channels, and programs to deliver a consistent flow of qualified pipeline to the Sales team. It's a 0→1 builder position with the opportunity to influence the company's go-to-market strategy. The role involves close collaboration with RevOps on lead definitions and marketing operations, and with Sales on messaging and targeting to shape how the insurance industry learns about AI-powered software.
Responsibilities
- Build and run outbound demand gen campaigns (email, LinkedIn, ABM) targeting commercial insurance brokerages
- Manage paid channels (LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads/SEM, industry-specific placements) and own CAC and pipeline-contribution metrics
- Own SEO strategy (technical, on-page, content/link) to build compounding organic pipeline
- Monitor and optimize for AEO (answer engine optimization) for AI-driven research tools
- Build a gated content program (white papers, guides, benchmark reports) to convert traffic into MQLs and feed nurture sequences
- Run webinar programs that directly support AE pipeline targets
- Define and instrument the MQL → SQL → S2 funnel in partnership with RevOps
- Partner with Sales leadership on ICP, messaging, and campaign feedback loops
- Partner with RevOps to establish marketing ops fundamentals — attribution, lead scoring, marketing automation/CRM integration
Requirements
- An extreme level of autonomy and ownership
- Strong analytical rigor; you own funnel metrics and CAC/ROI reporting without hand-holding
- A builder mentality across a wide channel mix (outbound, paid, SEO, content)
- Comfortable as a hands-on IC with no team to delegate to initially
- 7+ years in B2B demand generation, ideally B2B SaaS
- Track record building outbound and paid pipeline-gen programs from zero
- Working knowledge of SEM/paid search platforms (Google Ads) and SEO fundamentals (technical + content)
- Experience partnering directly with Sales/RevOps on lead handoff and SLAs
- ABM experience across both MM and ENT segments
- Experience running content-to-lead programs (gating strategy, nurture sequencing, lead scoring tie-in)
- Early experience with AEO/GEO practices, or demonstrated curiosity about AI-driven search
- Bonus: Insurance, insurtech, or vertical SaaS experience with complex, multi-stakeholder buyers
- Bonus: Early-stage (Series A/B) experience building a marketing function from scratch
- Bonus: Familiarity with marketing automation/lead scoring (HubSpot, Marketo, or similar) and Salesforce

About the Company
- The $1.5 trillion insurance industry is powered by brokers. Account managers are constantly pulled in multiple directions—keying information into systems, chasing documents, doing mundane work—rather than focusing on the client interactions that actually matter.
- We're building an AI platform to automate this insurance drudgery.
- Our platform already saves customers thousands of hours and millions of dollars every year.
- We have deep penetration within enterprise brokerages and genuinely enjoy making our customers' lives better.
- We just raised our Series A and are just getting started.
- Rocket-ship growth. We’ve achieved multiple seven figures in ARR in just over a year, serving large enterprise clients including 30% of the top 50 brokers in the country.
- Extreme ownership. You’ll work directly with enterprise users and ship end-to-end products that save them hours every week.
- Bleeding-edge problems, real impact. Tackle tough AI and product challenges whose wins show up immediately in customer workflows.
- In-person collaboration. Join a lean, staff-level team (ex-Affirm, Uber, DoorDash, McKinsey) working side-by-side in San Francisco; we believe the best ideas are fostered in an in-person environment.
- Top-of-market rewards. Competitive base salary plus meaningful founding-team equity.
- Builders at heart. You don't wait for a process to exist—you create it, refine it, and own it.
- Bias toward action. You have an internal sense of urgency. You'd much rather get something done today than tomorrow.
- Owners, not renters. You treat the company's money and decisions like your own. You hold yourself accountable to outcomes, not just outputs.
- Ambitious about the opportunity. You're excited about building the defining AI company in the insurance industry—and you understand that great finance is a competitive advantage.
