Growth Apprenticeship — Humayn (Management Trainee, Marketing)

Company: Humayn (gethumayn.com) 
Location: Sargodha — in-person, full-time (assessment held at Mawk Tech Space, Sargodha) 
Duration: 12-month paid apprenticeship, converting to a permanent Marketing Associate role
Starting salary: PKR 50,000/month, growing to PKR 100,000 over 12 months through quarterly performance reviews. Reports to: Founder — you work directly with him, daily

What this is

Humayn is an AI-first operator studio in Pakistan running growth marketing, paid media, CRM systems, and AI infrastructure for US clients. This apprenticeship is one seat, working directly under the founder, learning how a real US paid-acquisition operation runs — on live accounts with real budgets, from day one.

This is not a course, not a cohort, not an unpaid internship, and there is no certificate. It is paid work plus direct training: you do real tasks, the founder reviews everything you produce, and your responsibility grows every quarter.

One thing that makes this role different from a typical marketing job: we already use AI heavily for research, drafts, and analysis. So we are not looking for someone who can out-analyze a spreadsheet or out-write a first draft — AI already does a lot of that. We are looking for someone who can look at AI-generated work and know when it's wrong, incomplete, or just not right for the moment — and who has the creative and marketing instinct to fix it. That judgment is the actual job. We'll teach you the tools and the campaigns. We can't teach you to catch a confident-sounding wrong answer — either you already do this, or you're about to learn it here, fast.

The salary ladder

Your performance is reviewed at the end of every quarter. Each review has a defined competence gate. Meet the gate, get the raise.

How raises actually work — read this part carefully. Raises are earned at the review, not granted by it. If you meet the gate, the raise applies from the following month, no negotiation needed. If you don't meet it, we tell you exactly which parts were missing, you get a written plan, and the same gate is re-reviewed the next quarter — the raise isn't cancelled, it's postponed until you've earned it. Nobody here gets a raise for time served, and nobody gets blocked from one they've earned.

If you reach a gate early, we review early and pay early.

What you'll actually do (growing over the year)

From day one: review AI-generated ad-account summaries and creative research and check them against reality — catch what's wrong, missing, or misleading; write the daily summary the founder actually reads; QA of landing pages, forms, and tracking against checklists; a 15-minute daily check-in with the founder; chasing follow-ups so nothing silently dies.

By Q2: take AI-drafted creative briefs and hooks and sharpen them into work that's actually ready to ship; propose your own angles and hooks, not just edit AI's; execute approved campaign changes.

By Q3–Q4: running campaigns end-to-end with founder approval; making the creative and budget calls yourself; coordinating creative production with our content teammate; research memos when we evaluate new channels or tools.

Your lane is paid media and creative operations. Content and social are owned by a teammate; deep technical infrastructure stays with the founder — though curiosity about both is welcome.

What you'll learn that no course in Pakistan teaches

Running US client accounts with real budgets; how to work alongside AI tools as an operator, not a bystander — knowing when to trust output and when to stop and question it; performance marketing judgment — deciding what to kill, scale, and test, and why; how a lean US-facing business runs end to end; and the working English, reporting habits, and professional standards of a US operation.

Who we're looking for

Forget the standard checklist for a moment — here's the real question: have you ever had an AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, an image generator, anything) give you something that sounded right but was actually wrong, and did you catch it before it caused a problem? If yes, and you can tell us the story clearly, you already have the core skill this role needs. Everything else, we can build with you.

Beyond that:

• Creative instinct: you can write a hook that would actually stop a scroll, or you can tell immediately why one doesn't work
• Strong written English, and comfortable direct communication
• You close loops and report status before being asked — reliability matters more than raw talent here
• Fresh graduates through ~2 years of experience welcome. We care about proof of self-driven work — a page you grew, a small project you ran, anything real you built or figured out yourself — far more than your CV
• Honestly intending to stay: this seat is a year-long investment in one person. If you're preparing for CSS or other competitive exams, actively planning to move abroad, or see this as a bridge to Lahore/Karachi within the year, this is the wrong seat — we will ask directly, and we'd rather hear it now than in month five

You do not need prior experience running Meta or TikTok ads specifically. That's trainable in weeks. Judgment isn't.

What this role is not

• Not remote, not hybrid — in-person in Sargodha, five days a week
• Not a content/social media role, and not a coding job
• Not a role where AI does the thinking for you — our written assessment is done on paper, no phone, for exactly this reason

Data handling

Parts of our client work involve regulated US healthcare-adjacent data. Access is strictly scoped; you'll complete data-handling training in week one and sign a confidentiality agreement. Taking this seriously is a condition of the seat.

How we hire

1. Written application via our form — short questions answered in your own words, no AI writing tools. Shortlisted candidates are assessed against these exact answers.
2. Onsite assessment at Mawk Tech Space, Sargodha: a 60-minute written test (pen and paper, phones collected) covering judgment, creative thinking, numbers, and attention to detail — followed by a conversation with the founder the same visit.
3. Offer, with a structured first two weeks and your first quarterly review date set on day one.
