Summary

What we do Karmatic gives brands a Reddit strategist that works for them every day: it reads their communities every night, briefs them every morning, and tells them exactly what to do. This matters right now because AI assistants like ChatGPT lean heavily on Reddit when recommending products, so a brand's Reddit presence shapes how AI talks about them. Marketing teams are waking up to this fast. We need help reaching them. The role You find the right marketing decision-makers at US brands (Head of Marketing, Brand, Comms, or SEO), start genuine one-to-one conversations on LinkedIn, work out who is a real prospect, and book them onto a founder's calendar. When a lead is genuinely live, we arm you with a data-rich report on that specific brand's Reddit and AI-search position — it opens doors that nothing cold can. Reports are a closing weapon for vetted leads, requested through us, not something sent to every prospect. You will also be our ears on the market. Every week you log what prospects actually ask, object to, and say in their own words. That feeds our content strategy directly, and there is a monthly 30-minute debrief where the best of it becomes next month's angles. Founders write all content and close all deals. You own everything between "stranger" and "booked call." How the accounts work (read this part carefully) You will not have login access to a founder's LinkedIn account. No credential sharing, at any stage, ever. Here is what actually happens instead: You do all the thinking outside the account: target lists, prospect research, drafting every connection note and DM reply in the founder's voice (we give you a voice and positioning guide), tracking every open thread in a shared tracker you own, deciding follow-up timing. The founder executes inside the account in two short daily windows: relaying new replies out to a shared channel, and sending the messages you have queued. That commitment is on us, and good candidates should ask us about it. Engagement on our posts is public, so spotting prospects from our content runs entirely on your side. Two surfaces are yours directly: admin on the Karmatic company page, and your own profile — updated to reflect your work with us — which carries real outreach weight. Threads you start yourself, you run end to end and hand off warm. What you will not do Write or publish our content. Post from our accounts. Use automation or bulk-messaging tools of any kind. Close deals or negotiate pricing beyond what we script. Commission reports on your own. What success looks like — defined, so nothing is arguable later A conversation = a prospect who replied with something beyond a pleasantry. A qualified lead = confirmed US-based, right role, plausible budget, live interest. A call booked counts when it is held, not when it is scheduled. Month 1 (ramp floor): target list approved, 100+ accepted connections in profile, 25+ conversations, 5+ qualified leads escalated, 2+ calls held. Months 2–3 (floor): 6–10 calls held per month. Months 3–4 (stretch): 12–18 calls held per month, unlocked by warm supply — partner handoffs, inbound, report-backed pushes — not by grinding harder. Prospects who start a product trial instead of taking a call count too, and are rewarded. We are not trying to force meetings on people who would convert faster on their own. These are honest numbers, not conservative theater. Anyone promising 20 cold-sourced calls a month at these hours is describing automation spam or unqualified meetings. What we will not count as progress: connection counts, impressions, engagement rates, or activity reports with no conversations behind them. Compensation Base retainer sized fairly to the hours, plus a bonus per qualified call held, a smaller bonus per attributed trial start, and a larger bonus per closed customer. We carry the model risk; you carry the execution risk. At 90 days, once real funnel data exists, comp gets reviewed with the intent of shifting more upside to you if the numbers support it. Roughly 10–15 hours per week, remote, with meaningful overlap into the US business day (our buyers are US-based). How we start: a two-week paid trial at a fixed fee. We provide the customer profile and approve your target list; you run prospecting, conversations, and escalations exactly as described, including one report-backed push on a lead we vet together. Deliverables: a complete log of touches and replies, a handful of genuine conversations, and your honest read on what is and is not converting. We are buying evidence of judgment, not a guaranteed result. Required At least one prior B2B outreach or sales development role where you can show, with numbers, that your work produced booked calls or revenue — reply rates, calls per month, and how it was tracked. Native-level written English, and the ability to write short messages that sound like a person. Working hours with real overlap into the US business day. Strongly preferred Experience selling to marketing decision-makers. Familiarity with SaaS trials as a sales motion. Enough fluency in LinkedIn culture to know exactly why automation reads as spam. We will not consider you if Your past results are described only in followers or impressions. Your method runs on automation tools (Dripify, Expandi, Waalaxy, or similar). You cannot name a single tracked outcome from previous work. To apply, send two things One example, with numbers, of outreach work you have done that produced booked calls or revenue. A three-sentence LinkedIn message to a Head of Brand at a US beverage company, given this finding: their top competitor is recommended three times more often than them on Reddit, and ChatGPT now repeats that recommendation. Applications without both are not read. Proposals that open with a generic template tell us everything we need to know about the messages you would send our prospects. SCREENING QUESTIONS: 1. Show us one program you ran that produced booked calls or revenue — the numbers, and how it was tracked. 2. What automation tools do you use, and where is the line? 3. A Head of Brand accepted your request and liked one post but has not replied to your message. 4. What are your next five touches over three weeks? 5. How would you find ten live prospects this week without a list from us? 6. What would you report to us weekly, and what would make you tell us it is not working?
