Senior Director of Marketing

The Role

------------

We're partnering with one of our clients to hire a Senior Director of Marketing. This role will be focused on building and leading the marketing function from the ground up, reporting directly to the CEO of this real-time data infrastructure company. You'll set strategy and brand direction for the company while staying hands-on with the campaigns and content that need senior-level judgment. You'll manage a small team — directing their priorities while personally driving the initiatives that matter most.

This role suits someone who has led marketing at a growing technical company, is comfortable without a large team beneath them, and moves easily between strategy and execution.

What You'll Do

------------------

• Own marketing strategy and brand positioning, aligned to company-wide revenue and growth goals
• Define messaging for a technical, developer-and-enterprise audience, and represent the brand voice in external materials like the website, sales enablement, and thought leadership
• Personally lead high-priority campaigns, content, and launches that require senior ownership
• Set direction and priorities for the events contractor and Marketing Operations team member, coaching them on strategy while they handle execution
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Engineering to align launches and messaging with the roadmap
• Serve as the senior marketing voice in leadership conversations with the CEO, CTO, and Head of Finance/RevOps
• Own the marketing budget, vendor relationships, and team KPIs, and build out process as the function matures

What We're Looking For

--------------------------

• 8+ years of marketing experience, with at least 3-5 years in a senior leadership role (Director or above) at a B2B or technical company
• Proven ability to operate as both a strategic leader and an individual contributor — comfortable being hands-on when needed
• Experience managing marketing operat
