Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead model launch planning. Develop and execute integrated go-to-market plans for LLM and world model releases, defining target audiences, positioning, messaging, launch assets, channels, timelines, and success measures.
  • Build sustaining marketing programs. Maintain momentum beyond launch through technical explainers, demonstrations, use cases, community engagement, partner stories, and model updates.
  • Develop positioning and messaging. Articulate what each model enables, who it serves, and how it differs from alternatives. Ground claims in validated capabilities, evaluations, and release details.
  • Understand the AI model landscape. Track competing models, emerging capabilities, developer needs, and shifts in open-source and proprietary AI. Translate these insights into recommendations for positioning and campaigns.
  • Translate research into relevant stories. Partner with researchers and engineers to explain model architectures, benchmarks, training approaches, and practical applications with clarity and technical accuracy.
  • Create compelling marketing content. Partner to develop launch narratives, messaging briefs, website copy, blog posts, presentations, FAQs, briefs for demos, creative assets, and in some cases, social content.
  • Coordinate execution across teams. Align research, engineering, communications, design, and external partners around launch readiness, deliverables, and deadlines.
  • Support communications and executive visibility. Equip communications teams with competitive context, proof points, and materials for media, events, and industry discussions.
  • Measure and improve performance. Establish meaningful metrics for awareness, engagement, and adoption. Use results and audience feedback to refine future launches and ongoing campaigns.

Requirements

  • Five or more years of experience in product marketing, technical marketing, or a related role, including direct experience marketing AI or machine learning models, platforms, or products.
  • A strong understanding of the AI model landscape, including LLMs, multimodal models, emerging world models, and the audiences that develop, evaluate, and use them.
  • Experience leading complex technical launches, from audience definition and positioning through execution and post-launch engagement.
  • The ability to understand technical research, ask informed questions, and translate findings into accurate, differentiated messaging.
  • Familiarity with model evaluation, benchmarks, deployment considerations, and distinctions among open-source, open-weight, and proprietary releases.
  • Excellent writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to tailor content for researchers, developers, enterprise audiences, partners, and media.
  • Strong project management skills and experience working across technical and creative teams.
  • A practical, hands-on approach: you can set strategy, create content, manage execution, and assess results.

Preferred

  • Experience marketing foundation models, open-source AI projects, or developer-focused AI products.
  • Experience working with research scientists or within an AI research organization.
  • Familiarity with world model applications such as simulation, robotics, embodied AI, and interactive environments.
  • Experience engaging AI communities through platforms such as Hugging Face and GitHub.
  • Experience building campaigns that turn technical releases into sustained developer engagement and adoption.
  • Experience planning and overseeing paid marketing campaigns, including audience selection, messaging, channel recommendations, budget allocation, and coordination with internal specialists or external agencies.
  • Experience evaluating paid media’s contribution to engagement and adoption. Hands-on campaign setup and optimization experience is a plus.
