  • Turn technical capabilities into customer-facing proof and credible differentiation

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define the Market Narrative - Co-develop and continuously sharpen Niantic Spatial's category, positioning, and messaging for embodied AI. Carry this narrative across our website, campaigns, sales materials, and partner communications.
  • Build Credible Messaging - Build credible messaging around our embodied AI stack: real-world capture to simulation-ready digital twins, policy training in deployment environments, and the path toward visual-spatial intelligence.
  • Turn Capability Into Proof - Partner with Product, Engineering, Research, and Business Development to turn technical capabilities into credible, customer-facing proof that shows how the product works, performs, and fits into real-world workflows.
  • Keep the Story Defensible - Ensure every message clearly distinguishes what ships today, what is being validated, and what is on the roadmap, so our story remains accurate and defensible.
  • Build the Target-Account List - Build and maintain the target-account list for robotics and physical AI in collaboration with Go-to-Market, using market signals and customer insight to prioritize who we pursue, why, and when.
  • Run Competitive Intelligence - Run competitive intelligence and turn it into positioning, enablement, and clear guidance on where Niantic Spatial can win.
  • Shape Pricing and Packaging - Shape pricing, packaging, and initial product-led growth motions, turning technical capabilities into clear offerings and activation paths.
  • Develop and Execute Campaigns - Develop and execute campaigns that build awareness, generate qualified interest, and establish Niantic Spatial's presence in the market.
  • Build Co-Marketing Partnerships - Build co-marketing and case-study partnerships with robotics OEMs, simulation ecosystems, and strategic customers, turning them into customer stories, POVs, talks, and partner content.

Requirements

  • You've spent meaningful time in the physical AI space as an engineer-turned-marketer, marketing lead at a robotics or physical AI company, or a deep practitioner in the ecosystem.
  • You are comfortable operating in a category that is still taking shape. You can take fragmented market signals, technical nuance, and roadmap reality and turn it into a point of view the market can understand.
  • 5+ years of experience in product marketing, integrated marketing, technical sales, or category creation across robotics, autonomous systems, simulation, or physical AI.
  • A track record of defining emerging categories and translating complex technology into a clear narrative: what it is, why it matters, and why the company is positioned to lead.
  • The ability to build credibility with both technical buyers and executive stakeholders, turning market insight and product truth into positioning, proof points, and adoption-driving assets.
  • Strong judgment and a builder's mindset: willing to challenge assumptions, improve existing embodied AI messaging, and sharpen the company's go-to-market strategy without overclaiming.
  • A bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent experience.

Preferred

  • Experience creating POVs, conference talks, partner content, customer stories, and practical buyer frameworks that shape perception and support real sales conversations.
  • Hands-on familiarity with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, with the ability to turn technical workflows into useful, compelling content.

3.6 Glassdoor

First, our founders brought digital mapping to the world. Next, we invented global-scale AR. Now we're building the real-world foundation model for people, AI and robots.We're building for the 80% of economic activity that takes place beyond our screens: robots that lose GPS and drift off course, defense teams with no shared 3D picture of where they operate, facilities where downtime costs millions. Unlike LLMs, which understand language, we build computer-vision models that understand physical space. And unlike generated environments, our models are geometrically accurate and have real-world coordinates - which is what makes physical AI precise and trustworthy.We work across three capabilities for our customers: reconstructing physical spaces as AI-native digital twins using cheap, off-the-shelf cameras; locating and orienting – “localizing” – machines and people within those spaces; and enabling AI to understand and answer questions about the real world.
