About Martell Group
The Martell Group exists to build people, brands, and ventures that create meaningful impact. Across our four companies, we combine audience, operators, and execution to launch scalable products and empower ambitious leaders in Media, B2B SaaS, and AI.
Founded by serial entrepreneur and investor Dan Martell (investor in Udemy, Intercom, and Unbounce), we’re building a company that values leadership, growth, and simplicity, and we’re looking for people who live those values too.
Our goal is to attract world-class talent and align people where their impact is greatest. When you apply to Martell Group, you’ll automatically be considered for all open roles across our companies, not just the one you applied for.
