We are building the platform that makes it possible.\nPhonely builds conversational voice AI agents for high volume phone workflows. Our customers use us to qualify leads, book appointments, route calls, and resolve real customer conversations in production. We just raised a Series A from top-tier investors, we are one of the fastest growing companies in San Francisco, and we are still early.\nAbout the Role:\nAudiences get built on stories. Distribution matters, but only after someone has something worth saying.\nThis role is for someone who can find those stories, shape them, and make people care. You will own how Phonely shows up in public.\nOur buyers are not a generic tech audience. They run phone lines for a living: car dealerships, home services companies, insurance agencies, lenders. They do not wake up looking for AI content. Your job is to make them stop, watch, and care about what happens on their phones.\nNobody has built this at Phonely before. There is no playbook, so you will write it. This is on-site in San Francisco, five days a week, working directly with the founders.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nOwn the public voice: what we sound like, what we talk about, and what people remember us for.\nPublish constantly: start at 5 to 10 pieces a week and ramp. The best company in our category publishes 10 times a week. We want to pass them.\nBuild the system behind the output: your taste sets direction, AI tools and repeatable workflows carry the lift. Forty good pieces a month beats eight perfect ones.\nMine the tape for stories: find the moments that show what is actually changing on real phone lines, then get them out fast.\nRun the whole chain: concept, shoot, direct, edit, publish, reply.\nPut the right people on camera: sometimes you, sometimes an engineer, a rep, a founder, or a customer.\nFigure out the channels: start with LinkedIn, YouTube, and Meta, then go wherever our buyers actually spend time.\nTurn shoot days into paid creative: cut the best moments into assets the growth team can put spend behind.\nLearn from the people closest to the work: the engineers building the models, the reps selling it, the customers running their businesses on it.\nRepresent Phonely outside the office: launches, customer sites, industry events, podcasts, anywhere the story should be told.\nWhat You’ll Bring:\nA body of work nobody assigned you. A hundred pieces or more on your own account, no client, no brief.\nAI-native production habits. You already use tools to multiply your output and have opinions about which ones actually help.\nComfort on camera without a script. One take, phone camera, no autocue.\nA sharp read on your own work. You can explain why one piece landed and another did not.\nRange across the production chain: shooting, producing, editing, and publishing with whatever tools you taught yourself.\nBonus Points:\nYou are an athlete, or you have a background worth telling a story about.\nYou have made paid creative for a startup.\nYou have worked at an early-stage company.\nWhere you went to school, and whether you have held this title before, are not the point. We will read what you made.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nIn your first 6 to 12 months:\nCadence: a daily rhythm that holds, with a production system that makes the next piece easier than the last.\nAudience: real growth on Phonely’s channels from a standing start.\nMeasurement: total impressions, impressions viewed, marketing qualified leads, and conversion from content engagement into qualified sales conversations.\nVoice: a Phonely voice on camera the rest of the team can learn from and repeat.\nWhy Join Phonely:\nWe are a team of ex-athletes, founders, and builders with low egos and high standards. We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. On-site in San Francisco, meals covered, quarterly offsites to interesting places (Rocky Mountains, Costa Rica, Indonesia), and meaningful equity in a company that is growing fast. You will work directly with the founders and have real ownership over the brand.\nThe brand you build will be Phonely’s, but the work will be yours, and we will say so publicly.\nInterview Process:\n1. 15 minute intro call to hear your story and what you have built.\n2. Send your best performing piece plus a 60 second video shot on your phone, one take, no script: a true story about a phone call that changed something.\n3. Portfolio review. We go through your feed together and talk through two pieces, one that landed and one that did not.\n4. Paid test week at your day rate. Two days with us, twenty pieces published by Friday, at least five on subjects you chose. Then show us the system you built to make twenty possible.\n5. Final conversation with Will.\nDetails:\nLocation: San Francisco, CA (on-site, 5 days a week)\nType: Full time\nCompensation: $80K to $150K, offers equity","description_format":"text","description_chars":4919,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Conversational AI","Speech & Audio AI","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-08T02:32:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":61,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.813,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":58,"expected_fill_days":76,"reasons":["conf:4","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":150000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/phonely-founding-content-marketing-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/phonely-founding-content-marketing-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T09:18:56Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11847,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1919},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1919"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fphonely-founding-content-marketing-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fphonely-founding-content-marketing-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fphonely-founding-content-marketing-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/phonely-founding-content-marketing-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fphonely-founding-content-marketing-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":522121}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"phonely.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":522121},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
