What they're looking for
- We look for six things: marketing experience, builder aptitude, product depth, initiative and ownership, customer credibility, and fluency with the modern marketing stack. This role is for marketers who build, not engineers who want to learn marketing
- Builder aptitude. You’re curious about how technology can improve marketing and willing to experiment. Technical experience isn’t required, automating a process, configuring marketing tools, building with LLMs or connecting systems is a strong plus
- Product depth. You learn new tools quickly, explore what they can do and apply them to real work. We’ll train you to become an expert in Profound. Profound University certification is a plus
- Initiative and ownership. You identify opportunities, make recommendations and follow through. You can manage multiple stakeholders and competing priorities, and keep work moving without waiting for detailed instructions
- Tools and technology. Experience with platforms such as HubSpot, Marketo, Braze, Segment or Clay is helpful. Coding skills are welcome, but neither coding nor a computer science degree is required
- Specialized expertise (plus). Experience applying AI or marketing automation, or depth in a discipline or industry such as content, lifecycle, pharma, CPG or banking
