Who we’re hiring

We are seeking a Senior Marketing Director who thrives at the intersection of experimental AI, storytelling, and measurable growth metrics. You are a builder. You prototype, test, and ship faster than most teams can scope a brief. You use AI tools, automation platforms, and data insights to unlock new growth levers and accelerate go to market success.

The ideal candidate is hands on, curious, and technically fluent enough to create scrappy experiments, build lightweight workflows, and translate AI capabilities into messages that resonate with customers. You bring an experimental mindset, a strong grasp of emerging AI trends, and the ability to turn complex technology into simple, compelling narratives.

Candidates based in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis–Saint Paul, MN) are preferred, though remote candidates are also encouraged to apply.

What you’ll do

• AI Driven Growth and Experimentation
• Prototype and launch AI powered marketing workflows to improve targeting, personalization, and speed. This includes GPT driven audience segmentation, personalized messages, and AI generated landing pages.
• Build and ship MVPs of growth experiments using tools such as Retool, Bubble, Make, Zapier, Vercel, or lightweight scripts without requiring engineering support.
• Automate repetitive workflows such as campaign QA, reporting, enrichment, and customer intelligence using AI agents and no code tools.
• Product and Go To Market
• Translate AI model capabilities and new product features into clear and differentiated value propositions.
• Develop positioning and messaging that make complex AI concepts understandable, approachable, and outcome focused.
• Partner closely with product and engineering to launch new AI capabilities with strong go to market alignment.
• Growth Infrastructure and Technical Collaboration
• Leverage APIs, webhooks, and LLMs to connect tools, build growth infrastructure, and enable faster scaling.
• Use analytics platforms such as GA4, HubSpot, Mixpanel, or Looker to measure funnel performance, feature adoption, and marketing effectiveness.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams to refine experiments, identify new growth levers, and integrate AI into operational workflows.
• Content, Storytelling, and Community
• Create compelling, AI informed content across web, email, product, and sales assets.
• Develop internal playbooks, internal GPTs, and reusable workflows that help the team move faster.
• Build relationships with AI communities, partners, and influencers to expand reach and credibility.
• Vertical Experience
• We operate heavily in the Department of Defense/War as well as the global innovation management industry. While marketing principles and growth hacking are universal, experience in these industries is very valuable for success in this new role.

What We’re Looking For

• Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or related field.
• 5-7 years of experience in product, growth, or performance marketing, ideally in SaaS or AI enabled technology.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI tools such as Claude Code, OpenClaw, autonomous agents, and custom GPTs to accelerate marketing workflows and improve performance.
• Proven track record designing and executing data driven, experiment led growth strategies.
• Strong analytical and storytelling skills, with the ability to simplify complex AI concepts.
• Experience running tests, optimizing funnels, and working with tools such as GA4, HubSpot, or Mixpanel.
• United States citizenship is required.
• Preferred:
• Proven agent-centric growth leadership: Experience scaling a high-growth, AI-native organization where coordinated agent systems (e.g., AI-led outbound, lifecycle, and revenue ops) materially replaced traditional SaaS-era marketing and sales motions.
• Designing closed-loop growth intelligence: Demonstrated ability to architect systems where agents continuously ingest sales conversations, objections, usage signals, and market data—automatically reshaping targeting, messaging, and offers in real time.
• Agent orchestration at scale: Hands-on experience wiring together LLM-powered agents, proprietary data, and real-world signals into durable growth engines—focused on reliability, feedback loops, and compounding advantage, not one-off campaigns.
• From vibe speed to production reality: Comfortable moving at “vibe-coding” velocity while translating experiments into resilient, revenue-bearing systems that work in complex, regulated, legacy innovation markets.
• Next-generation GTM instincts: A track record of redefining product-led growth by using agents to personalize acquisition, onboarding, and expansion—treating distribution and data control as the core moat.
• Location: Based in, or able to work closely with, the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro area team.
