Job Summary

Own Nectar's brand, content engine, and go-to-market motion from messaging and launches to demand gen, events, and analytics.

  • Shape category narrative and voice across all surfaces
  • Lead product marketing for current and future launches
  • Build and optimize demand generation and measurement programs

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define and evolve Nectar's brand, positioning, and category narrative across every surface, website, social, sales collateral, decks, and press
  • Build and own the content engine, including blog posts, customer stories, launch announcements, thought leadership, and POV pieces that establish Nectar as the definitive voice in social commerce
  • Drive product marketing for Nectar Agent and future launches, including messaging, naming, packaging, launch motion, and ongoing adoption
  • Partner with the founders on PR, analyst relations, and earned media moments, building on our recent launch and turning every milestone into category-defining narrative
  • Build a high-signal demand generation engine, owning the website, SEO, email, paid experiments, and lifecycle to grow inbound pipeline alongside our enterprise sales motion
  • Plan and execute Nectar's event strategy, including hosted dinners, conference presence at NRF, Shoptalk, Cannes Lions, and exec roundtables with brand leaders
  • Develop sales enablement materials, customer case studies, and competitive narratives that help our AEs close enterprise deals faster
  • Partner with product and engineering to translate roadmap into compelling external storytelling, and bring customer and market signal back into the product
  • Establish marketing analytics, attribution, and reporting so we know what's working and can compound on it

Requirements

  • 5+ years of marketing experience at high-growth B2B SaaS or consumer-tech startups, with at least 1 to 2 years in an early stage (Seed or Series A) environment where you built from zero
  • Track record of owning multiple marketing functions, brand, content, demand gen, and product marketing, not just one slice
  • Exceptional writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex AI and product concepts into sharp, human, opinionated copy
  • Deep understanding of how to market into consumer brands, agencies, or marketing technology buyers, ideally across beauty, CPG, retail, or e-commerce
  • Strong instincts for positioning and messaging in a new or emerging category
  • Bias to ship. You can run a launch end-to-end without hand-holding, and you'd rather get a campaign live this week than perfect next quarter
  • Fluent with modern AI tools and use them daily to accelerate your production work
  • High ownership mindset and the temperament to thrive in ambiguity, fast cycles, and direct founder feedback

Preferred

  • Experience marketing AI, automation, social, creator, or commerce platforms
  • Existing relationships with marketing, social, or digital leaders at consumer brands
  • Background in journalism, content strategy, or earned media that sharpened your storytelling instincts
  • Prior experience building category-defining narrative for a new product or company
  • Familiarity with social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn) as both a marketer and a power user
  • Experience working closely with founders on PR, analyst relations, or executive communications

Benefits

  • Hybrid work schedule (4 days in office) with 3 flex remote days per quarter (available after 3 months)
  • Comprehensive stipends: $1,000/month housing stipend for living near the office, $50/month mobile stipend, $50/month internet stipend for remote employees, and commuter benefits (train stipend or Palo Alto parking permit reimbursement)
  • Health, vision, and dental benefits + 401(k) match
  • Free lunch in the heart of University Ave. in Palo Alto
