Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

Responsibilities

• Develop and refine HUD’s positioning for frontier-lab buyers and data vendors, grounding our story in what they are building, what they need, and why HUD matters to them
• Own marketing execution for case studies, partnerships, product launches, and company announcements, coordinating the people, materials, channels, and follow-through needed to make each one land
• Create and distribute compelling content across HUD’s site, X, LinkedIn, and other relevant channels; work with technical experts and writing support to turn product capabilities, research, and customer results into credible stories
• Build relationships in the AI community and plan and run events, activations, and collaborations that reach researchers, buyers, and data vendors; help founders and the team show up with a clear point of view
• Connect marketing to growth: test messages and channels, track qualified buyer conversations and vendor interest through to opportunities and participation, and use what works to focus our time and budget; make our work and mission visible to potential teammates

Requirements

• Conviction in HUD’s mission and a specific point of view on why open infrastructure for AI data matters. Tell us what excites you about what we’re building in your application
• Active involvement in the AI community through your work, projects, writing, events, or relationships, and an understanding of what earns attention and trust among researchers and builders
• Enough technical fluency to talk shop with AI researchers and engineers, learn HUD’s products firsthand, and discuss agents, RL environments, evaluations, and post-training without losing the substance
• A track record of turning marketing, launches, content, or community programs into measurable adoption, qualified demand, or commercial opportunities for a technical product
• Strong writing and positioning judgment: you can make a technical idea clear, accurate, and persuasive for both practitioners and buyers. Include one or two examples of work you personally drove, with your contribution and results
• The ability to own work from an ambiguous brief through execution and follow-up, whether that means writing a launch, coordinating a partnership, or running an event

Preferred

• Marketing, product marketing, growth, or community experience at an AI/ML, developer tools, infrastructure, or data company
• Familiarity with how frontier labs source data, evaluate models, and approach post-training
• Relationships with AI researchers, technical buyers, data vendors, or relevant community organizers
• Experience running technical events or partnership campaigns, supporting founders’ public communications, or using analytics and AI tools to improve marketing execution
