Marketing Manager

Position Overview

=====================

Robust Open Online Safety Tools (ROOST) is looking for a Marketing Manager who can bring ROOST's tools and our mission to a variety of audiences, from individual developers to trust and safety leaders to mission-aligned funders. This is a creative and hands-on role for a mid-career marketer who can make complex technical topics understandable and compelling, and feels equally at home at an open source developer meetup as a policy conference.

You'll own go-to-market strategy for new tool releases, drive awareness among developer and safety practitioner communities, and build the content and communications programs that keep ROOST visible and valuable to our users.
