Marketing Manager

About Valency

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

Valency Systems is a small, dynamic team of engineers, scientists, and researchers building the global hub for the agentic research era.

We're based in Berkeley, California, and we're building something that matters. If you care about open science, advancing research at the speed of thought, and using AI to accelerate discovery, we'd love to talk.

Our team is hybrid. We come together in person at least 3 days a week, with the option for 2 days of remote work.

About the Role

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

You will be Valency's first dedicated marketing hire, reporting directly to the founders and senior leadership. That means you are not inheriting someone else's playbook — you are building one with us. We will design the marketing flywheel together. You will operate it.

In practice, that means owning the full marketing calendar: conferences, podcasts, webinars, and social media. You will keep the Valency brand in front of researchers and institutions while managing the logistics, deadlines, and executive coordination that make it all run. The founders are technical and mission-driven — and busy. Keeping them scheduled, prepped, and on message is as important as anything else you will do.

This is a builder role. If you want to execute someone else's strategy, this is not the right job. If you want to shape how a company earns the trust of the global scientific community, it is.

What You'll Do

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

• Own Valency's conference calendar end-to-end — prioritization, logistics, booth presence, speaking submissions, demo scheduling, and post-event follow-up — across key scientific communities including computational biology, materials science, chemistry, physics, and AI for research
• Build and run our field marketing presence at research universities and national labs (DOE, NIH, NSF-affiliated institutions), including outreach to research computing groups, department seminar organizers, and faculty ch
