## About the role

We are hiring our first dedicated marketing leader: a hands-on Marketing Lead who anchors in product marketing and can flex across the full marketing stack. Today marketing runs on the founders in their spare time - you will own it. This is a zero-to-one seat where you set the strategy and do the work, from sharpening how we position our products to arming the sales team and keeping our founder-led engine humming.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years in marketing at high-growth B2B (ideally B2B2C or platform) companies, with a core background in product marketing
- A track record of translating technical products into clear positioning and sales-ready enablement for multiple audiences
- Zero-to-one instincts: you have been an early or founding marketer who did everything from website to campaigns to events, and created structure as you went
- Strong writing and storytelling - you can own a narrative and a style guide and raise the bar on every asset
- Comfort operating as an army of one today while building a team and managing agencies and contractors over time
- Bias for speed - you would rather protect and accelerate working momentum than over-plan
