Profound is the marketing platform for the AI era. As people increasingly turn to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to decide what to buy, we give brands the intelligence to see how AI represents them and the Agents to act on it. Today, ~13% of the Fortune 500, plus companies like Ramp, Figma, Chime, Calendly, and DocuSign, use Profound to turn AI Search from a black box into a measurable growth channel.
Backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures at a $1B valuation, we're a lean, fast-moving team across NYC, SF, Buenos Aires, and London, shipping at a relentless pace and defining a new category at the biggest shift in marketing in 25 years. If you want to do the best work of your career at the frontier of AI, come build it with us.
As an Ads Solutions Manager, you will work directly with the brands running campaigns through Ads Studio, our paid visibility product built on top of our core organic visibility platform. Ads Studio is in its design-partner phase: a small group of committed advertisers are live, and a much larger pipeline is waiting to come on next.
This is a high-impact, customer-embedded role at the intersection of customer success, sales engineering, and product. You will own the customer relationship end to end, from signed deal through onboarding through ongoing campaign management, and be the subject matter expert customers turn to for anything related to targeting, bidding, pixel setup, or reporting. There is no established playbook for this yet. Early customer patterns will directly inform how Ads Studio evolves, and you will be the one shaping that.
What you'll do
Own the customer relationship from kickoff through ongoing campaign management for a portfolio of design partner and early customer accounts
Be the go-to expert on how Ads Studio works: pixel implementation, bidding, campaign setup, reporting, and the broader ad ecosystem inside ChatGPT
Run onboarding for new accounts so customers go live smoothly and get to value fast
Translate customer questions and blockers into clear asks for the product and engineering team
Track account health, flag risk early, and manage the beta-to-paid transition as accounts mature
Turn patterns across accounts into product feedback and repeatable process, not just one-off fixes
Build the playbook as you go: today there isn't one, and you'll be writing it
Serve as the primary post-sale partner for Ads Studio customers during their entire lifecycle with the product
Who you are
Experience in a client-facing role such as engagement management, customer success, or account management, ideally somewhere you owned the full relationship rather than a slice of it
Comfortable working with ambiguity and early-stage products
Want to become a real subject matter expert in a technical, fast-moving product area. You don't need an ads background already, but you need to want to go deep
A builder's mindset: you'd rather help design the process than inherit one
Startup instincts, whether from prior experience at an early-stage company or from actively seeking that kind of environment, paired with wanting the stability of a well-funded, fast-growing company around it
Clear, sharp communicator who can translate effectively between customers and internal teams
Location
This is an on-site role based in our NYC office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.
