We are looking for a technical growth marketer who is AI-pilled and ready to use tools like Cursor to build ABM programs, lifecycle automation, and high-converting funnels from scratch. If you have 4-8 years of demand gen experience and want to own the full growth stack for a market-leading insurtech backed by Spark Capital and Y Combinator, this high-impact role is your next big move.

You will blend demand generation with technical engineering, using AI coding tools to ship site experiments, ABM programs, and lifecycle automation. It is a high-impact role driving submissions through a digitally underdeveloped market.
About Shepherd

What you will do
- Own end-to-end paid media and ABM strategy, designing audience-specific campaigns that convert broker activations into high-value insurance submissions.
- Build and maintain the technical growth stack, including outbound infrastructure, signal-based lifecycle triggers, and marketing automation to orchestrate broker touchpoints.
- Optimize the conversion funnel by shipping landing pages, structured data for AI search, and experimentation frameworks to increase lead velocity.
Who this is a fit for
- Brings 4-8 years of experience in growth marketing or demand generation at a fast-moving B2B startup, preferably within fintech or insurtech.
- Possesses a Growth Engineer mindset, actively using AI coding tools like Cursor or Claude Code to build technical marketing solutions without engineering support.
- Demonstrates high agency and a bias toward action, with a track record of running data-driven experiments and building attribution systems from scratch.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join a well-funded Series B startup at the intersection of AI and insurance, a massive underserved market ripe for disruption by autonomous underwriting.
- Enjoy high autonomy as the first marketing hire for this channel, reporting directly to the Head of Marketing with the power to shape the growth stack.
- Work in an AI-pilled environment where you are encouraged to build your own tools and automate complex workflows using Cursor and Claude Code.
