Full original description
One role. One person. A blank page and the biggest brands in the world.
8x
8x is the fastest growing company in human orchestration: we put the human in the loop, across marketing, engineering, sales and more.
- $7M+ Raised
- 250k+ Humans managed
- 50+ Countries
We bring together creators, operators and specialists and point them at one thing: growing brands. What started as a creator platform is turning into a service ecosystem that scales brands, from the first piece of content to the systems that run growth on the inside. We work with some of the fastest-growing consumer companies in the world. Small team, moves fast, cares a lot more about what gets done than about titles.
The role
This is a two-phase bet on one person.
Phase 1: Two weeks of shadowing
You sit in on every call we take. Client calls, sales calls, creator calls, partner calls, internal calls. Your job is to absorb how the business actually works, where the friction is, where the money is, and where we are leaving things on the table. You come out of it with a document of what you saw and what you would change.
Phase 2: Build the path to the highest-ticket accounts
There is no list waiting for you. That is the point. You start from a blank page and answer three questions: who are the biggest brands we should be working with, how do we reach them, and what does the offering look like when we get in the room.
Shape the offer
You design the approach and build the offer using everything the ecosystem can do. You pull in whoever you need from the team to make it happen.
Run the conversations to the close
You own the deal end to end, from first message to signature. You earn commission on every account you close, and the bigger the deal, the bigger the upside.
Report and plug in
You report directly to the GTM lead and have direct access to the whole team, including the CEO and CTO.
You
Hungry
You want to win big and you are a bit impatient about it.
Entrepreneurial
You have started something before. A company, a community, a product, a side business. It does not need to have worked.
Full of ideas, better at execution
Ideas are cheap. We care about your track record of finishing things.
Comfortable with ambiguity
There is no playbook for this role. You will write it.
Direct
You say what you think, you push back, and you can take it when others push back on you.
Curious
About how brands actually grow, and about the people who make it happen.
We care a lot less about years of experience or your degree. We have seen 22-year-olds outperform 30-year-olds and the other way around.
