This is a staff-level IC role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and raises the bar for everyone around them. You’ll work across systems, infrastructure, and product surfaces — partnering closely with engineering, product, and leadership to scale what’s already working and build what’s next.

This is a high-ownership, execution-heavy role focused on researching, writing, and shipping content at a fast pace.

YOU MIGHT THRIVE IF Have 5+ years of content marketing experience, ideally in SaaS, AI, or developer-facing products. You write fast and clean — your first drafts need edits, not rewrites. You’ve published 100+ articles , not just a handful. You get antsy if you haven’t shipped something by noon — you prefer producing over planning. You can learn complex topics (AI, telephony, APIs) and explain them simply. Bonus: you have technical skills or experience writing for dev audiences. PORTFOLIO ASK When applying, please include a portfolio. Specifically, we’d love to see a before-and-after example : a technical changelog, release note, or product update that you turned into a polished, world-class announcement. Include the original raw input and the final version you shipped. Tell us the customer value behind it — why should anyone care? If you’re the kind of candidate we’re looking for, you probably already have something like this in your portfolio. If so, you’re likely a great fit here.

What the role involves

What Retell does Retell is the voice AI platform for production phone agents. Enterprise call centers use us to deploy AI agents that handle real calls — inbound and outbound — at scale. 50M+ conversations/month. YC-backed. ~20 people. What this role is You make Retell's community into a growth channel. Here's what that means concretely. We already have the scaffolding: a Certified Partner Program with tiers, a growing roster of agency partners, an app partner directory, a Discourse forum, and YouTube creators making Retell content organically. What we don't have is someone who owns all of it full-time and turns it into a compounding growth engine. What you'll do Scale the partner ecosystem. We have certified partners building voice agents for clients across healthcare, restaurants, real estate, insurance, and more. You'll be the person who activates this ecosystem — recruiting new partners, keeping existing ones engaged, making sure they have what they need (early access, co-marketing, referral tracking, templates), and tracking which partners are actually driving revenue. The goal is to make "build it on Retell" the default choice for every AI agency and consultant in the voice space. Build the creator and content flywheel. Retell tutorials are already showing up on YouTube organically. Your job is to accelerate that — find the creators, give them a reason to keep producing (affiliate structure, featured placement, verified status, early access), and build the pipeline so we're getting a steady stream of third-party content every month. Not by writing it yourself. By making it worthwhile for others to create. Own community infrastructure. Take over Discourse. Fix the support experience. Build the culture where builders help each other. Run regular community touchpoints — hangouts, builder spotlights, newsletters, contributor recognition. Make it the place people come to learn how to build voice agents, not just to file support tickets. Drive community-sourced SEO. Every partner case study, every creator tutorial, every forum thread answering "how do I build an AI phone agent for X" is a long-tail landing page. You should be thinking about how every community action you enable creates organic discovery. What makes someone great at this You've taken an early-stage partner or creator program and scaled it — not just launched one, but made it produce measurable output over time You've worked with technical creators and know what it takes to get someone to choose your platform as the subject of their next video or tutorial You understand affiliate and referral economics. You can design incentive structures and tell which relationships are worth doubling down on You've run a technical community (Discourse, forum, Slack) past the phase where the company is answering every question You get SEO at a practical level — community content that ranks Bonus: you've been inside a PLG ecosystem (automation tools, developer platforms, no-code/AI tools) and know how these flywheels work from the operator side

Here's a sample of experiments on our roadmap: IVR teardowns: Call a prospect's 1-800 number, record the experience, build a side-by-side with what Retell sounds like, and send it to their VP of CX Permissionless pilots: Build a working demo of a prospect's use case before they ask for one, and send it cold Physical gifting: Send cookies, handwritten notes, or a relevant book with a sticky note to decision-makers who won't respond to digital LinkedIn voice messages: Record personalized 60-second voice notes to prospects Community infiltration: Find where call center ops people hang out (Slack groups, Reddit, CX forums) and become a trusted voice before ever pitching Champion-building from below: Reach agent supervisors who feel the pain daily, arm them with materials to push the conversation up VidYard walkthroughs: Record a personalized video showing the prospect's exact use case on the Retell platform, including how the AI voice sounds on a real call Warm path engineering: Map mutual connections, YC network ties, and board-level relationships to broker warm intros Signal-based triggers: Monitor job postings, tech stack changes, funding rounds, and earnings call language to time outreach perfectly MS Teams / Slack Connect messages: Find and reach people on platforms they actually check You'll also own the tracking infrastructure — what experiment ran, to whom, what happened, and what we learned. We want a system, not a spreadsheet of hunches. What We're Looking For Must-haves: You've done outbound before and know what "normal" looks like — so you can go beyond it You think in experiments: hypothesis → test → measure → iterate You can write. Your emails, notes, and scripts need to sound like a human who did their homework, not a template You're resourceful and scrappy — you'll figure out how to get handwritten notes sent, how to find someone's direct line, how to get into a niche Slack group You can self-manage. We'll set goals together but you run your own calendar Strong signals: You've used tools like Clay, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Nav, Sendoso, Vidyard, BuiltWith, or similar — but more importantly, you've stitched tools together into workflows that actually produced pipeline You've worked at a startup where outbound was the primary growth lever You've sold or prospected into call centers, BPOs, or enterprise CX teams You've done something creative in outbound that actually worked and can tell us the story Not looking for: Someone who only knows email sequences and cold calling Someone who needs a playbook handed to them Someone uncomfortable with ambiguity or running plays that might not work How This Works Start as a contract (30-40 hrs/week). If it's working, we convert to full-time. You'll work directly with the CEO and our outbound SDR. First 2 weeks: audit our current outbound, pick 3 experiments, and run them. We evaluate based on experiments launched, quality of execution, and pipeline generated. To Apply Skip the generic cover letter. Instead, tell us: One creative outbound play you've run that actually generated meetings or pipeline. What was it, why did it work,

What the role involves

ABOUT RETELL AI Retell AI is using the first principles to reimagine the call center with cutting edge voice AI. Since launching 18 months ago, thousands of companies now utilize Retell’s AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Alt Capital, and other leading investors, we have scaled to $36M ARR with a team of 20 people, up from $5M at the start of 2025. Our vision for 2026 is to build a modern CX platform where entire contact centers are powered by AI. Instead of basic automation that needs constant human tuning, we’re creating intelligent AI “workers” that can act as frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers — continuously executing, monitoring, and improving customer interactions.
