## What they're looking for

- Exceptional taste (must-have): You have a sharp eye for brand, design, and writing, and a body of work that proves it. You know what great looks like, and you won't ship anything that looks or sounds generic
- Top-tier brand pedigree (must-have): You have done marketing at top startups or companies known for a strong, distinctive brand, and you helped build that brand, not just inherit it
- Enterprise B2B depth: You have led marketing at a company that sells to security, risk, or IT executives, and you understand how long, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals are actually won
- Narrative craft: You can write a positioning doc, a homepage, and a CISO-facing email yourself, and you know the difference between messaging that earns attention and messaging that is noise
- Revenue orientation: You measure marketing by pipeline and ARR, and you know your way around funnel math, attribution, and CAC
- Player-coach leadership: You have hired and led a small marketing team and still ship work yourself
