About Iris
Iris is the AI CFO for consumer brands. We’re building the next generation of FP&A and cash flow forecasting tools purpose-built for inventory-based businesses (CPG, retail, e-commerce). Backed by top VCs, Iris is scaling fast—and we’re looking for a Growth Coordinator to join our Chicago HQ team.
The Role
As Growth Coordinator, you’ll be at the center of Iris’s go-to-market engine, executing campaigns across paid and organic channels, running creative operations, and building systems that scale. You’ll get inside the ad accounts, experiment with new ideas, and work directly with the founders to grow Iris’s brand and pipeline.
This role is perfect for someone who:
- Has 2–3 years of marketing or growth experience.
- Loves working in the weeds (inside ad platforms, cutting clips, shipping content fast).
- Is obsessed with growth, AI, and startups.
- Wants to build from the ground up and isn’t afraid of long hours and hard work.
- Bonus: Former founders (or people who’ve tried to build something themselves) are especially encouraged—your scrappiness and resourcefulness are exactly what we value.
What You’ll Do
- Manage and optimize paid campaigns across LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and other social platforms.
- Partner with design/video teams (internal + external) to run creative operations—from briefs to approvals to launch.
- Support the distribution of Iris’s owned content (podcast, newsletter, blog, Slack community, social).
- Track and analyze performance data, turning insights into action.
- Help drive demand gen experiments, test new channels, and build the playbook for scale.
- Work closely with founders and growth leadership on high-priority projects that move pipeline and brand forward.
What We’re Looking For
- 2–3 years of marketing, growth, or paid media experience.
- Hands-on experience running and optimizing campaigns inside ad platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter/X; bonus: Meta, TikTok, Google).
- Familiarity with creative operations: managing assets, coordinating with designers, and shipping high-velocity content.
- Strong analytical skills; comfort with performance dashboards and metrics.
- Excitement about AI and the future of how it transforms marketing.
- Grit, hustle, and a bias toward action—you thrive in fast-paced, startup environments.
- Entrepreneurial DNA: whether as a former founder, side project builder, or startup early joiner, you know how to figure things out.
Why Iris?
- Join a fast-growing AI startup backed by leading investors.
- Build something that changes how entire industries manage their finances.
- Be part of a small, high-impact Chicago team where your work is visible and valued.
- Opportunity to grow with the company into more senior growth/marketing roles.
