Marketing & Events Lead
About the Role
This is a founding marketing hire at a fast-growing AI/ML infrastructure startup building the go-to platform for RL environment creation, training, and evaluation. You will shape brand voice, drive inbound interest, and run memorable events for a deeply technical audience, sitting directly alongside a small, high-caliber team of AI researchers and engineers in San Francisco.
What You'll Do
Own and execute the overall marketing strategy and content calendar across all channels.
Lead social media presence on Twitter/X and LinkedIn to grow audience, engagement, and inbound pipeline.
Ghostwrite high-quality content for company leadership that communicates product vision, insights, and platform milestones.
Translate complex RL and AI infrastructure concepts into clear, compelling narratives for a technical audience.
Develop and refine brand voice, positioning, and storytelling across channels.
Experiment with content formats and double down on what drives results.
Identify high-leverage event opportunities, such as conferences, hackathons, and technical community gatherings.
Plan and run high-quality, memorable events that reinforce brand and generate pipeline.
Support the team with event presence, including coordinating talks and logistics.
What We're Looking For
2 to 7 years of experience in marketing, content, or community roles at startups.
Demonstrable track record of growing social accounts or company branding from an early stage.
A writing portfolio that shows the ability to understand technical products and explain them simply and accurately.
Experience planning and running events, meetups, or community programs end-to-end.
Background marketing AI/ML, developer tools, or technical platforms; B2C or influencer marketing alone is not a fit.
Genuine fluency in the AI community, including active presence in relevant Twitter/X groups and a solid grasp of the AI/ML landscape.
Strong existing network within RL researchers, RL engineers, or the broader technical AI startup community.
Familiarity with analytics tools and growth strategies for social and content.
Comfortable working independently with limited oversight in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.
