Founding Product Marketing Manager

San Francisco, CAHybrid$150K - $180K

About this role

We are looking for a Founding Product Marketing Manager with 5+ years of experience to build the product marketing function from the ground up at Loop AI. You'll be a high-agency builder who can bridge the gap between a fast-shipping engineering team and the customers and internal teams who need to understand what's being built. This is a rare opportunity to own how a category-defining restaurant intelligence platform shows up in the market, with direct access to founders and leadership. If you thrive in environments where execution matters and you've done this at a startup before — whether it succeeded or failed — we want to talk to you.

Our client is a high-growth agentic AI company automating back-office workflows for the real economy. This is a founding Product Marketing Manager opportunity to build the function from the ground up, partnering directly with leadership, product, revenue, and customer-facing teams.

What you’ll do

Building customer education programs — webinars, portals, and product knowledge sessions — to drive adoption and reduce support queries

Creating sales enablement materials (battlecards, pitch decks, playbooks) so the revenue team can sell new features with confidence

Owning internal education for new product releases, ensuring sales, CS, and cross-functional teams are never going in blind

Developing positioning, messaging, and launch strategies for a product team that's shipping constantly

Generating qualified marketing leads through content, webinars, presentations, and media

What we’re looking for

Product marketing at a startup (seed to Series C)

B2B experience strongly preferred; B2C candidates need compensating industry knowledge

5+ years of experience in B2B product marketing at high-growth SaaS startups

First PMM hire or built PMM function 0→1

About this opportunity

Industry

AI, B2B, Enterprise

Loop AI is an agentic AI platform automating back-office workflows for the real economy. Founded in 2022, Loop started by building the enterprise co-pilot for restaurants — helping brands view their P&L in real time, automate closing books, improve order accuracy, diagnose poor performance, and empower teams with feedback. Now, Loop is expanding horizontally to bring agentic automation to industries beyond restaurants, including healthcare and retail.

Trusted by 300+ brands powering thousands of locations across the US, Loop is backed by a $14M Series A led by Nyca Partners. The company believes agentic products are the future of the software-human interface, automating functions like accounting, marketing, and operations with intelligent agents that reason and act autonomously.

Culture: Loop operates with a flat hierarchy, lean high-impact teams, radical ownership, and zero bureaucracy. Engineers own products end-to-end — from customer conversations to deployment. Even the founders participate in IC work. The team values entrepreneurial spirit, speed of execution, and a bias toward action. If you want guardrails and process, this isn't the place. If you want to define your own goals, sit at the strategy table, and ship category-defining products — Loop is built for you.

The team is composed of ex-founders who scaled their own companies to multiple millions in ARR, alongside operators and AI engineers from Stanford, Harvard, Wharton, Uber, Google, Amazon, and McKinsey.
