Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've owned digital strategy and execution at a B2B tech or deep-tech company; comfortable translating complex products into compelling narratives
  • You're data-obsessed: you live in GA, SEMrush, and analytics dashboards; decisions are backed by metrics, not feelings
  • You can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution; you'll wear both the campaign manager and strategist hat depending on the week
  • You thrive in ambiguity and move fast; Aurora is scaling and you'll build playbooks and processes from scratch
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility; this is 100% on-site in San Francisco and non-negotiable
  • You prefer deep specialization in one channel (e.g., paid ads only); this role demands breadth across SEO, SEM, social, content, and measurement
  • You're uncomfortable with rapid change and competing priorities; digital marketing at a growth-stage company is constant pivoting
