The company
Marketing teams spend $1.5 trillion a year on various channels and programs. And yet most of those capital allocation decisions are guided by gut feel, broken attribution, and backward-looking metrics.
Paramark helps them optimize spend across all their channels and programs. There are proven scientific ways to do this, but they are poorly understood and practiced by only a tiny fraction of teams. Companies waste millions on campaigns that don’t work, while failing to invest in critical long-term initiatives simply because they’re harder to measure. Most are sorely lacking in both measurement and experimentation capability.
We’re fixing this by creating a system of action that teams use to understand, to forecast the impact of their investments, and to experiment with new ideas. The opportunity is huge: 100k+ mid-market businesses worldwide, spending $1.5T on marketing annually, with a large chunk of that going to waste. Our target customer spends between $10M and $100M on Marketing annually.
We founded the company in 2023 and have strong traction. Our customers include both consumer and business brands like Square, Chime, Ramp, Rippling, Speak, Toast, and many more.
We work 3-5 days a week from our office in San Francisco. We truly believe the best results come from in-person collaboration, but we also want to strike the right balance and give everyone the flexibility they need to enjoy life outside of the office. Our existing team respects the need to not have work be your life, but understands the importance of scaling a new business in a collaborative environment.
We’ve raised $8M from Greylock and several CXO-level advisors and angels from companies like Open AI, Dropbox, Salesforce, Asana, and P&G.

- While you may not have it when you join, you will develop expert-level knowledge with marketing mix modeling and causal inference analysis.

Benefits and culture
- We’re not 22 any more. We have kids, family lives, and health problems to manage. We don’t think early stage startup life requires 18 hour days, or even 12 hour days. We’re intent on building a different kind of culture, one that is truly sustainable. That means reasonable working hours (we’re out of the office before 6), taking a break when we need it, and checking in with each other. Our Purpose, Mission, and Values guide us.
- Simple Time off policy : all federal holidays plus 4 weeks of PTO per year. Health comes first, and everyone needs to take time off to recharge and rejuvenate.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance provided with 100% of employee premiums / 50% of family premiums covered.
