## About the role

Exa's best marketing is the work our customers ship on top of us. Today that proof lives in scattered Slack threads, sales calls, and the heads of AEs. This role turns it into an engine: a steady supply of credible customer evidence, a reference bench sales can draw on without asking permission, and co-marketing with the commercial partners who influence how companies buy infrastructure.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years in customer marketing, partner marketing, or product marketing at a B2B technology company, with meaningful time at a high-growth startup. You thrive in ambiguity and don't need a playbook to get started
- Deep craft evidence: a portfolio of published customer proof you personally drove. You can point to specific case studies, name the metric in each, and explain how you got Legal and the customer to approve it
- Excellent writing. You can interview a staff engineer and produce something their peers will respect
- Comfort with technical subject matter. You do not need to code, but you need to hold your own on retrieval, agents, and APIs
- Experience running a reference or advocacy program that sales actually used
- Track record of co-marketing with commercial or platform partners, from joint plan through launch through measured outcome
