Founding marketing lead (strategy & content)

What we do

Slidely AI is a PowerPoint AI assistant built for professionals. In the last 30 days, users created more than 50,000 slides with Slidely, and 82.5% of them made it into real presentations.

Professionals at Deloitte, Airtel, Axis Bank and ABM Industries use Slidely, and our customers include teams at Fortune 500 companies. We’ve done this with a team of fewer than 10 people.

Now we’re hiring our founding marketing lead to shape how the world hears about Slidely. Your job will be to decide what Slidely says and where it says it, and then write it.

Why Slidely exists

ChatGPT and Claude have made presentations easier for casual users. For professionals, a big gap remains.

1. Making PowerPoints is nobody’s job but everybody’s problem
   Decks take up 30 to 50% of a consultant’s time, but nobody is paid to make them faster, and the best AI model changes every month. Keeping up is our job, so it doesn’t have to be theirs.
    

2. AI has no judgement, and no one has time to teach it

   It doesn’t know which slides a sell-side private equity deck needs, or when a slide is too dense to read. We build what good looks like in each industry into every workflow: 95% best practice, 5% you.
    

3. A bad first draft just pushes the work to later
   Without that judgement, ChatGPT and Claude ignore your template and put your speaker notes on the slide. Our plugin starts from your template, your industry’s best practices and your past work, and our PowerPoint add-in handles the iteration.
    

4. AI guesses what you want instead of checking with you
   It asks a few generic questions, then disappears on a long job. Slidely confirms the storyline, data and layouts before building your deck, and shows you three options when you redesign a slide.
    

5. A sloppy deck comes off as sloppy work
   A deck can decide whether you get the funding, the investment or the approval, and the audience judges the work by the slides. Set up one design kit, and every slide anyone in your company creates follows it.
    

6. Making a great deck is hard freaking work, so nobody wants to do it again (and again)
   A great deck takes days, sometimes weeks, so people keep reusing their best old slides. Slidely does that for the whole company, and every deck makes the next one better.

About the team & company

We're backed by Y Combinator and supported by prominent founders, operators and executives.

Despite being a team of fewer than 10, we serve demanding enterprise customers and operate at a much larger company's pace.

Our founders, Apoorve and Nikhil, are computer science graduates from IIT Kharagpur with deep backgrounds in AI.

This is an in-person role from our office in HSR Layout, Bengaluru. We work six days a week, typically 9-10 hours a day, together.

What you'll do

You’ll own what Slidely says and how it reaches the people who need it. Working closely with our CEO, you’ll set our content, SEO and AEO strategy, then write the words that carry it. Once a process works, you’ll work with our Growth Engineer to automate it, so you spend your time on the work only you can do.

1. Set the SEO and AEO strategy. Decide which topics, keywords and pages we should win, and which questions Slidely should come up for in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. Then build the plan to get there.

2. Own what’s working. Read our performance across traffic, rankings, AI search, sign-ups and engagement, decide what to double down on and what to kill, and adjust our content and strategy accordingly.

3. Write blog posts and key pages (comparison, industry and feature pages) that rank, get cited by AI search, and that people actually want to read.

4. Run case studies. Decide how we get customer stories (like offering power users credits for an interview), write the outreach, interview customers and turn their wins into stories that sell.

5. Write social content for our channels: LinkedIn, X, Reddit.

6. Write email copy for onboarding, re-engagement and outreach that gets opened and acted on.

7. Write homepage copy that explains what Slidely does in seconds.

8. Run creator partnerships. Find, brief and manage creators for paid UGC and influencer marketing.

9. Turn what works into a process. Once a format proves itself, define what good looks like and work with our Growth Engineer to automate it.

You’ll do well here if you

1. Write clearly and sharply. You can explain complex ideas simply, and you cut more than you keep. You know how to write a hook that stops the scroll and a CTA that gets the click. You also know where AI falls short, and you edit until nothing reads like AI slop.

2. Know SEO deeply. You understand the fundamentals, you’ve published blog posts with traffic to show for it, and you can turn that experience into an SEO strategy for Slidely.

3. Get social media. You’ve built a following on at least one platform, and you have good instincts for what an audience will engage with, like knowing when a short clip beats a YouTube link.

4. Understand your audience. You can explain Slidely’s benefits in terms a consultant, PE associate or strategy lead actually cares about.

5. Are AI-native. You use AI to research, draft and repurpose content at a pace a one-person team couldn’t manage otherwise, and you build your own prompts, skills and workflows to do it.

6. Let data guide you. You track what’s working in traffic, rankings, sign-ups and engagement, and you double down or kill things based on the numbers, not on what you like.
