Job Summary

Own the LSP marketing narrative and end-to-end digital presence for freight forwarders, 3PLs, and brokers, driving AI-native demand, ABM, and a measurable pipeline.

  • Growth Infrastructure: Build dashboards, attribution, and growth metrics that tie activity to revenue.
  • Demand Generation and ABM: Design fast-moving ABM programs for LSP Ops with intent signals and account-based motion.
  • AI-Native Execution: Embed AI workflows from research to content to campaigns and performance analysis.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Positioning and Messaging: Develop and own LSP Division core narrative, value proposition, and segment-specific messaging for freight forwarders, 3PLs, and brokers
  • Translate complex platform capabilities, carrier graph, agentic infrastructure, multi-modal coverage, developer SDK into crisp, credible copy that earns the trust of sophisticated logistics buyers
  • Partner with the Head of Sales, and product team to bring new capabilities to market with clarity and speed
  • Establish and maintain the brand voice and written standards for all LSP Division external communications; the brand is distinct from project44’s Shipper identity and should be built accordingly
  • Web and Digital Presence: Own the LSP Division web experience end to end: strategy, content, design direction, and ongoing optimization (lsp44.ai and related properties)
  • Build and manage landing pages, campaign assets, and digital properties with hands-on execution
  • Apply AEO (answer engine optimization) and SEO principles to drive organic visibility in a market increasingly shaped by AI-powered search, LSP buyers research and evaluate through APIs, developer communities, and peer networks
  • Demand Generation: Design and run campaigns across email, paid, content, and events to generate qualified pipeline for the LSP segment
  • Build account-based marketing motions targeting LSP Ops personas with sales cycles measured in weeks, not quarters
  • Leverage project44’s data platform and intent signals for targeting, personalization, and ABM
  • Own top-of-funnel metrics and pipeline contribution reporting; connect marketing activity to revenue outcomes clearly and credibly

Requirements

  • 7–10 years of B2B marketing experience with demonstrated range across product marketing, demand generation, and marketing operations
  • Genuinely AI-native: you use AI tools daily to accelerate research, content, campaign execution, and reporting and you build workflows, not just prompts
  • Exceptional writing ability: you produce crisp, specific copy that earns credibility without relying on adjectives, and you can write in a brand voice that is not your own
  • Data-driven by instinct: you know how to build a funnel, instrument it, and optimize based on what the numbers say
  • Hands-on with web: comfortable in a CMS, basic HTML/CSS, landing page builders, and design tools (Figma, Canva, or equivalent)
  • Experience with marketing automation and CRM platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce, or equivalent)
  • Proven ability to operate independently in an early-stage or startup environment—you do not need a team to get things done

Preferred

  • Direct experience in the LSP, freight forwarding, or broader logistics technology market as a practitioner, operator, or close advisor
  • Background building a marketing function from zero in a founder-led or high-growth environment
  • Familiarity with API-led, developer-first, or infrastructure product marketing—where the buyer builds on the platform rather than using a UI
  • Experience with account-based marketing (ABM) motions in a mid-market B2B context where the buyer is an ops leader, not a procurement committee
  • Prior exposure to a spinout, carve-out, or new-venture launch within a larger company
  • Understanding of how logistics buyers, ops leaders, tech teams, and executives at freight forwarders and 3PLs evaluate and adopt new technology
