Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own positioning, messaging, and narrative : define how Goodfire and our platform are understood in market
  • Shape the category : establish an interpretability platform as a must-have capability in the AI stack through thought leadership, content, and strategic communications
  • Drive product launches : plan and execute launches that generate awareness and pipeline, from major research milestones to new platform capabilities
  • Build deep market intelligence : develop a rigorous understanding of the competitive landscape, buyer needs, and emerging use cases across verticals — and translate those insights into product and go-to-market strategy
  • Create sales enablement and field materials : arm our forward-deployed team with the positioning, demos, case studies, and collateral they need to win technical buyers

Requirements

  • Strong ability to translate highly technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives for deeply technical audiences (researchers, ML engineers, Heads of AI).
  • Strong strategic instincts and the ability to build a go-to-market playbook from scratch in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
  • Experience speaking to deeply technical buyers at AI labs, frontier model companies, or research-driven organizations.
  • Scrappiness, speed, and a bias toward action. You ship, measure, and iterate — not deck-build.

Preferred

  • Demonstrated experience owning product marketing end-to-end at an infrastructure, developer tools, or AI company - from positioning through launch execution and sales enablement.
  • Background as an early marketing hire at a high-growth startup, or experience building a product marketing function from the ground up.
  • Familiarity with the AI research landscape - interpretability, model training, alignment, and the broader ecosystem of labs and model developers.
  • Track record of defining or shaping a new product category.

Benefits

  • This role offers market competitive salary, equity, and competitive benefits.
