What you’ll do

TheInfluence, Inc., the company behind Prelulu, seeks a Founding GTM Lead in San Francisco, California to:

• Own Prelulu’s positioning and story: how we describe the product on prelulu.ai, in the words and visuals of our App Store and Google Play listings, in launch copy and to the press. Our line is “Interactive stories: text, call, or video chat the cast.” It has to land everywhere.
• Plan and run launches for new features, platforms and markets, from the brief to launch day, with the story, the assets and the partners ready.
• Build creator and partner programs with video creators, writers and fan communities who bring stories and characters to Prelulu.
• Grow and run our community on Discord, Reddit and social platforms, and turn what people say into product feedback.
• Build press and industry relationships from scratch.
• Check every public claim, from a store listing to a creator brief, against app store rules, ad platform policies and legal rules for AI character apps, and keep our copy accurate and tasteful.
• Interface with users and creators directly through interviews, community events and support, and bring what you learn back into the product.

What you’ll own in your first 90 days

1. A rewrite of how Prelulu describes itself on prelulu.ai and in both app store listings, so every public surface tells the same story and stays inside store and ad policies.
2. One launch run end to end, for a feature, a platform or a market, with the story, assets and partners ready on the day.
3. An opening group of creator and writer partners who bring stories and characters to Prelulu, on a program simple enough to repeat.
4. A weekly rhythm for our Discord and Reddit communities, and a feedback loop that puts what users and creators say in front of the team.
