Dear Future Right Hand,

You’re not applying to a job. You’re entering my world.

It’s called “Adam’s World” internally. There’s a Figma board. It’s terrifying. Nine workflows. All live. Some contradict each other. That’s fine. We adapt.

We’re building AI Agents to fix the mess between marketing and sales. We’re launching a new category. We’re not just evolving Mabbly. We’re rewriting how growth happens.

But make no mistake, this is not a pivot away from our roots. Mabbly’s agency work is thriving. Our services, our strategy, our creative, our partnerships, none of that’s going away. You’ll be helping us grow both worlds.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:

You’ll help launch and scale AI products (starting with the Lead Nurturing Agent), while supporting the broader agency side of Mabbly. This role touches nearly every part of the business. Think of it as the right hand to the Founder, plugged into strategy, execution, and momentum.

You’ll be:

  • Driving GTM launches for AI products, collaborating with product and marketing teams.
  • Supporting the agency engine, coordinating project workflows, client communications, and internal priorities.
  • Producing content that cuts through, including co-running the Unlock Growth podcast and social blitzes.
  • Shaping our voice in the world, coordinating events, leading campaigns, and keeping us loud.
  • Managing people and projects, working with freelancers, internal teams, and yes, sometimes Adam’s kids.
  • Owning growth metrics, chasing KPIs that stretch you—not check boxes.

This isn’t a narrow lane. It’s a front-row seat to building the future of Mabbly—across product, content, marketing, and operations.

What You Bring

We’re not looking for someone to fill a seat. We’re looking for someone who’s wired for this.

  • You get tech. You’re AI-native or AI-curious, and not intimidated by new tools.
  • You’ve built or led something. Could be a startup, a project, a side hustle — or even something that failed. You learned either way.
  • You take initiative. You think, write, act, and solve problems without needing permission.
  • You move fast. You’re allergic to fluff, thrive in fast-paced environments, and don’t get stuck in the process.
  • You want the pressure. You’re here for the exposure, the stretch goals, and the steep learning curve.
  • You get sh.. done. You’re organized, follow through, and close loops across teams.
  • You communicate clearly. Whether it’s Slack, Notion, or a client call, you keep things crisp and moving.
  • You understand content and marketing. Or you’re hungry to learn fast and get your hands dirty.

Bonus points if you’ve:

  • Worked in startups, agencies, or B2B SaaS
  • Used tools like Figma, Apollo, HubSpot, Slack, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, AI co pilots, WordPress and more
  • Built or launched something on your own — win or fail

One Requirement. One Shot.

Submit a video (under 5 minutes) telling me why this is your next move. Talk to me, not the camera. Keep it real.

Every video goes straight to me, Adam. If it hits, we’ll talk. Thirty minutes. Just us.

No video = no review. No exceptions.

And don’t be surprised if you hear back the same day. That’s how we roll.

Why It Matters:

We’re unlocking a new era of growth.

That includes building and launching AI products that solve real problems. But just as important, our agency work continues to grow and evolve. This role touches both sides of the business. Both matter. Both count.

You’ll help us scale what works, explore what’s next, and stay grounded in what got us here.

We’re going to events. We’re podcasting. We’re building in public. We’re working with clients who trust us to drive meaningful (dare I say massive) growth.

Stretch goals? Of course. This isn’t a job. It’s a mission.
