Director of Marketing

Director of Marketing — Enterprise AI Solutions & Platform Enablement

We deliver enterprise AI solutions that help organizations modernize their products and operations using AI. Our work spans AI strategy, product development, and hands-on implementation, taking customers from idea to production-ready systems operating in real environments.

To accelerate and standardize delivery, we’ve built an event-driven AI platform that complements our services—providing reusable infrastructure, real-time integrations, and agent orchestration. The platform strengthens our solutions, but outcomes and execution come first.

We are hiring our first marketing leader. This is a hands-on role that will define how the company is positioned, communicated, and perceived as we scale from 100 to 500 people.

What You’ll Do

• Work closely with sales to represent our enterprise AI solutions and delivery capabilities
• Own positioning and messaging for our services-led offerings
• Shape the voice, tone, and brand of the company as we scale
• Create and maintain sales-facing materials (pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies)
• Lead both organic and paid audience growth across select channels (LinkedIn, X, and others)
• Grow awareness among both enterprise buyers and top-tier talent
• Build the foundation of the marketing function while remaining personally hands-on

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of B2B marketing experience
• Experience working with sales teams on consultative or enterprise deals
• Experience marketing services-led or solutions-led offerings
• Ability to translate complex technical execution into clear business value
• Experience building audience and brand from the ground up

Mindset

• This is a hands-on role — you build, write, test, refine, and execute
• We expect curiosity, independent thinking, and a willingness to try ideas that may feel unconventional at first
• Comfort with complexity and long-term thinking
• Strong judgment — knowing when clarity matters more than hype

Our Expectations

This is not a traditional marketing role. You will own the narrative for how enterprise AI solutions should be built, deployed, and trusted. You will work directly with founders and executive leadership to shape long-term positioning, not just short-term GTM. You are building the foundation of our brand — how customers, partners, and future employees understand us — as we scale into the next stage of growth.

Why This Role Matters

• You will define the company’s external identity
• You will directly influence enterprise deal success
• You will shape how we attract both customers and talent
• You will build a serious, execution-first AI brand with long-term ambition

Benefits

• Be an instrumental member of a quickly scaling international company with a variety of challenging and compelling projects 
• Competitive salary 
• Performance-based bonuses 
• 401(k) contribution
• Comprehensive benefits package 
• Four weeks paid vacation plus standard United States holidays 
• Funding for professional development such as conferences and educational courses 
• Team building events 
• Gym membership
