What you need
- 7+ years of marketing experience with real ownership of positioning and narrative for a product or category at the individual contributor level.
- Proven ability to drive a launch, repositioning, or category story end to end, including the writing and strategic thinking behind the work.
- Strong content instincts, with the ability to create crisp narratives, sharp positioning documents, and launch materials that audiences actually engage with.
- Active, practical fluency with AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or similar, with evidence that AI has meaningfully changed how you work and what you ship.
- High bias to action, with a track record of shipping, gathering feedback, iterating, and filling gaps without waiting for perfect information.
- Ability to translate technical depth into clear, compelling messaging without oversimplifying a novel product.
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience building community among developers or other technical builder audiences.
- Technical fluency from building software or working closely enough with engineers to understand codebases, pull requests, and deploy cycles.
- Experience in product analytics, instrumentation, observability, developer tools, open source, or AI coding tools.
- Growth-hacking experience in an early-stage or 0-to-1 product environment.
What you get
- Highly competitive, employer-heavy coverage in the United States, including $0 premium options.
- Strong 401(k) match.
- Equity.
- Flexible time off.
Worth weighing
- This is a 0-to-1 role, which may involve ambiguity and a lack of established processes.
- The role requires a strong understanding of AI tools and their application in marketing, which may not be suitable for all candidates.
- The position is remote but requires collaboration with teams in various locations, which may affect work-life balance.
- No specific salary listed for remote locations outside of New York or San Francisco.
