About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You’ll act as an extension of the Head of Marketing, helping turn strategy into execution across the entire function.
You’ll run the operating system of the marketing team. This includes owning planning cadences, shaping quarterly priorities, and ensuring teams are aligned against the highest-leverage work. You’ll identify gaps, unblock teams, and push initiatives forward without needing perfect direction.
You’ll lead high-impact, ambiguous projects that don’t neatly fit into a single function—whether that’s launching a new growth motion, improving how we connect product marketing to sales, or building new internal systems for tracking performance.
You’ll bring structure to chaos without hurting speed. This could mean building dashboards that actually get used, improving how we track pipeline influence, or creating processes that help us move faster without adding unnecessary overhead.
You’ll partner closely with leaders across growth, product marketing, brand, community, and sales to ensure everything we do is cohesive and compounds over time.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You’re a builder first. You don’t just recommend—you implement. You’re comfortable going from zero to one and figuring things out along the way.
You have strong business judgment and can prioritize ruthlessly. You know how to separate what’s important from what’s just urgent.
You’ve operated in high-growth environments where things change quickly, and you’re comfortable navigating ambiguity without losing momentum.
You’re highly organized and detail-oriented, but you don’t get stuck in process. You know when to add structure and when to move fast.
You’re an excellent communicator. You can distill complex ideas into clear, actionable plans and align stakeholders across different functions.
You have a strong understanding of marketing—whether across growth, product marketing, or brand—and how it connects to revenue.
