This role is no longer open. Roles stay on the Generalist World board for two weeks, then move to the vault. This one has had its run.

About this role

AthenaHQ helps brands get found inside AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) – a whole new category called Generative Engine Optimization. You'd be the first growth hire, building the engine from 0 to $10M ARR alongside a CEO who was formerly a Google Search PM, with backing from Anthropic, OpenAI and DeepMind angels. Both the fuel (content, messaging, creative) and the engine (channels, systems, pipeline) sit with you. Run experiments, find what compounds, report to the founders.

What made this a Connector role?

Connectors thrive at the intersection of people and ideas. They build relationships, spot patterns across communities, and turn loose networks into tight ecosystems. If you're the kind of person who naturally introduces people, builds partnerships, and sees opportunity in every conversation, this role plays to your strengths.
