Founding Creator Partnerships & Growth Lead

ZenoSound is building explainable music-production tools that help creators reach useful sonic changes faster inside existing DAW workflows.

Our current product surface is a plugin. We are in a narrow founder-run pilot stage, not a broad public launch. The next person we bring in should help us find the right early users, support the right first sessions, and help turn real pilot signal into the first durable growth motion.

This role is for someone who understands creator workflows, builds trust well, and knows how to turn warm relationships, niche communities, and honest product positioning into real early traction.

This is not a generic PR role. It is not a scale-marketing role either. It is a hands-on founding-stage growth role focused on pilot recruiting, creator and educator relationships, warm-intro outreach, request-access follow-up, and helping shape the first repeatable proof assets from real usage.

What You’ll Do

• Build and qualify a high-fit list of early users and trusted introducers.
• Reach out to producers, sound designers, mix engineers, educators, and adjacent creator communities in a thoughtful and credible way.
• Help move qualified interest into founder-guided pilot sessions.
• Improve outreach copy, session prep, and follow-up based on what actually converts.
• Capture feedback patterns, objections, and strongest early use cases.
• Help turn validated pilot activity into founder-approved demo, testimonial, referral, or walkthrough opportunities without overstating what the product does.
• Keep external messaging clear, disciplined, and aligned with the current product surface.

What We’re Looking For

• You understand music-production culture well enough to spot the right first users.
• You are strong at relationship building and clear written communication.
• You have good judgment about who is a high-signal pilot user and who is not.
• You can work in a remote-first, async-friendly way with high ownership.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity, but you still create structure and follow-through.
• You want to help shape a company very early, before the role is standardized.

Nice To Have

• Experience in music tech, creator tools, plugins, artist relations, creator partnerships, education partnerships, or early-stage growth.
• Personal experience producing music, mixing, sound designing, or teaching in DAW-centric workflows.
• Existing relationships that could create warm, credible pilot access.

How We Work

ZenoSound is remote-first, async-friendly, and outcome-based. We value writing, clarity, reliability, and sustainable pace over noise and performative busyness. We want people to have the space to do strong work and the judgment to move things forward well.

Compensation

This is an equity-first founding-stage contract role. It is not a cash-salaried W-2 employee position at launch. Initial compensation is meaningful early equity plus approved expense reimbursement. Exact grant details are discussed with finalists and are subject to definitive documents and company approval.

Why This Role Exists

We do not need broad awareness first. We need the right early users, the right feedback, and the right proof. If you are strongest when you are close to the product, close to real users, and helping shape the earliest version of market pull, this role is likely a fit.
