About The Position

Sent is an infrastructure for sending A2P messages across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS through a single unified API. Our intelligent routing model automates channel selection based on deliverability and cost, ensuring lower cost and global reach without any channel-specific integrations. We recently closed a $5.1M Seed round backed by Companyon Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, UIF, and CEAS Investments. We're hiring to build the best infrastructure to replace multi-channel messaging stacks. About the Role We're hiring a Startups Growth Advisor to work directly with Series A and Growth Stage companies evaluating Sent. You'll be the first conversation founders have with us, helping them understand how intelligent message routing fits into what they're building - whether that's transactional notifications, authentication flows, or customer engagement across channels. You'll spend your time finding early-stage companies that need messaging infrastructure, starting conversations with technical founders and CTOs, and guiding them through an initial evaluation of Sent. When a company is ready for a deep technical demo, you'll connect them with the right people on our team and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. This role is perfect for someone early in their career who's genuinely curious about developer tools, enjoys talking to people building things, and wants to be at a company where the product sells itself once people see it.
