Founding Deployment Strategist - Polynomic

Description

The current ad market is frustrating. Polynomic is rebuilding performance marketing from the ground up, starting from the view that ads in their new forms will remain the main business model of the internet and a core driver of commerce.

Today, performance marketing still leans on dated methods, trial and error, and manual work. Brands should not need luck to find growth. The company sees AI as a chance to make ads cheaper to run and more profitable for brands through its agentic platform.

The company is building autonomous systems that brands can connect to in order to find the most profitable ways to grow revenue through ads, without paying for costly agencies or spending long hours tuning campaigns.

The company was founded by two people with backgrounds at Google Ads, Google Research, Citadel, and Harvard Business School. Its team includes people from Google, Jane Street, Citadel, Apple, and Amazon. It is an early-stage company (seed) with funding from well-known venture firms and angel investors, and it already has several fast-growing consumer brands as paying customers.

This is a founding role that connects a customer's largest performance marketing problems with Polynomic's technical solution. You will own the whole customer engagement from start to finish.
