Job Summary

Own the early enterprise growth engine by shaping strategy, budget, and channel bets while building a foundation with the founders and sales on playbooks, systems, and programs.

  • Coordinate Events & field marketing, partner programs, and brand work to drive enterprise pipeline across channels.
  • Build and track a cohesive growth engine with clear reporting and prioritized initiatives based on what moves the needle.

Job Description

  • Own BoltWise's marketing strategy and budget end to end, deciding where to focus, what channels to test, how to allocate spend, and how to most effectively support enterprise growth.
  • Work closely with founders and the sales team to build and execute the playbooks, systems, and programs that become the foundation of our marketing function.
  • Your work will span a wide range of initiatives to support enterprise pipeline generation, and we will look to you to ruthlessly prioritize based on what is working and what is not.
  • Ownership areas include: Events & field marketing; Partner marketing; Brand work, positioning & messaging; Content & social; Paid & digital; Marketing operations, analytics & reporting.
  • Events and field marketing will be your biggest near-term priority.
  • Startup experience. You've been at a startup before, ideally as the first marketing hire.
  • Owning a function with no team and no existing playbook.
  • Comfortable wearing many hats. You've juggled events, content, digital, and outreach at the same time.
  • Bias toward action. You're energized by ownership, thrive in ambiguity, and are comfortable making decisions with imperfect information.
  • Data-driven. You're comfortable analyzing pipeline and marketing performance data, and you translate what you learn into clear reporting for leadership.
  • Willing and able to travel frequently. This role is on the road often: trade shows, customer cities, dinners with prospects.
  • Creative and resourceful. You're comfortable proposing something untested, trying it, and moving on quickly if it doesn't work.
  • Direct communicator. You tell it straight, with leadership and across the team, about what's working and what isn't.
  • Top-tier healthcare. 99% employer-covered medical, vision, and dental (partial coverage for dependents).
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • Equity matters. We’re early enough that the ownership you earn here is meaningful.
