Secure 3-5 conference sponsorships/speaking slots and build event pipeline for developer and enterprise buyer audiences
Hit product launch targets: 500+ qualified leads, 10%+ conversion to sales pipeline, measurable brand lift in target segments
Scale 2-3 high-performing channels (paid search, content, events) to repeatable, profitable unit economics
Build and hire first marketing team (content/demand gen) with documented playbooks and processes
Establish thought leadership: 10+ published pieces, active community presence (LinkedIn, forums), 2+ analyst relationships

Is This Role For You?
- You've led full-funnel B2B SaaS marketing at Series A-B stage and can architect strategy + execute simultaneously
- You're a strong writer/storyteller who can translate technical complexity (ML, linguistics, voice AI) into clear narratives for multiple audiences
- You thrive building marketing from zero, wearing many hats, defining playbooks, and scaling people—not just campaigns
- You're genuinely curious about AI/ML and motivated by solving real enterprise problems, not just hitting vanity metrics
- You're data-driven and experimental: comfortable with ambiguity, testing rigorously, and optimizing channels based on real ROI
- You want a hands-off director role—this is hands-on strategy AND execution from day one
- You need a big team in place—you're building it, which means heavy hiring/training burden in year one
- You're not comfortable with early-stage uncertainty (product roadmap, market fit, pivots) or need a proven playbook to follow
