A role where I own outcomes not just tasks. Early-stage startup where marketing is being built from scratch — no rigid playbooks, no bureaucracy. A founder or small team that moves fast, trusts people to execute, and measures everything. Ideally B2B, SaaS, or marketplace — industries I understand deeply.

What I'm looking for
I'm Naresh Gautam — a Content Marketing & Growth Strategist with 7+ years of hands-on experience in SEO writing, blog content, website copy, and digital marketing campaigns. I came across this opening and it's a strong match for what I do and where I'm headed.
Here's why I'm a solid fit:
→ Content & SEO: I've built and executed content strategies that grew organic traffic by 30–55% across real estate, e-commerce, and service businesses. I write with both the reader and the algorithm in mind — always.
→ Platforms & Tools: I work regularly with WordPress, Shopify, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Canva, and Figma. I use AI tools (ChatGPT, Jasper, Semrush) not as a crutch, but to work faster and smarter.
→ Stakeholder Communication: I've managed a 7-member marketing team, led client-facing campaigns, and coordinated with vendors and cross-functional teams — I know how to keep projects aligned and moving.
→ Storytelling: I'm a published author, so beyond writing content that ranks, I write content that resonates. That's a rare combination in performance-driven marketing roles.
→ Independent & Deadline-Driven: Whether it's a solo deliverable or a team sprint, I work with full ownership. I'm flexible with schedules, including night shifts, and I don't need hand-holding to deliver.
I've worked with startups in India and businesses in Canada, the USA, the UAE and Europe, which means I understand diverse audiences, markets, and content contexts.
