  • Roll up your sleeves to launch and manage campaigns across digital, partner, and offline channels.
  • Drive the roadmap with autonomy, and as the venture scales, build and lead a marketing team of specialist direct reports.

  • A highly data-literate approach, comfortable reading dashboards, questioning anomalies, and using data to guide decisions.
  • Hands-on copywriting skills with a willingness to test, iterate, and start over if campaigns don’t convert.
  • Demonstrable expertise in marketing automation (HubSpot strongly preferred).
