at greyparrot

🏢 About greyparrot

Greyparrot is an innovative AI startup that uses computer vision to analyze waste streams, helping recycling facilities operate more efficiently and reduce landfill. Working here means you'll be at the forefront of applying cutting-edge technology to solve one of the planet's biggest environmental challenges, with a mission-driven team that values impact.

About This Role

As a Marketing Executive, you'll own the full funnel content creation—from blog posts and newsletters to sales proposals and event materials—while also qualifying leads and proactively sourcing new business opportunities. Your work directly drives revenue and scales Greyparrot's reach in the recycling and waste management industry.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing HubSpot lead scores and qualifying new inbound requests, then drafting a blog post on AI trends in recycling using ChatGPT for initial research. After lunch, you'd design a social graphic in Canva, send a targeted LinkedIn InMail to a prospect, and end the day by analyzing email campaign open rates and suggesting A/B tests.

📝 Tips for Applying to greyparrot

3

In your cover letter, mention a specific AI tool you've used (e.g., ChatGPT, Jasper, HubSpot's AI features) and how it improved your marketing output.

4

Quantify results: use metrics like 'increased LinkedIn engagement by 30%' or 'generated 50 qualified leads from a campaign' to demonstrate impact.

5

Research Greyparrot's recent press releases or blog posts and reference one in your application to show you've done your homework.
