Marketing Director

About us

Walrus is the leader in B2B payment verification, working with some of the biggest names in VC, PE, and more.

B2B payments are a $1T+ industry and, as the industry pushes further into digitization and faster settlement, fraud is becoming a massive problem — to the tune of $43B in annual losses.

Walrus’s DoubleCheck is quickly becoming the definitive way to collect and confirm payment details, using advanced authentication based on proprietary tech and AI.

Walrus is led by PhD computer scientists and security researchers from Harvard, MIT, and Stanford. We’re backed by one of the world's leading fintech VC funds, as well as founders and former executives of Twitter, Google Maps, Databricks, and Kayak.

The role

You will be in charge of the company’s marketing, with an emphasis on product marketing for our DoubleCheckTM product. You are a wildly creative person who can communicate complex ideas simply and clearly. You are also mission-driven, and want to focus that energy on a problem that matters. You will:

• Spearhead corporate branding and oversee a rebrand of the business, including  redesigning the logo and streamlining the branding of the company and its individual products. 

• Own the company’s website content including copy, use cases/case studies, optimizing for customer conversion, monitoring website metrics, and driving updates as the business grows.

• Conceptualize and produce collateral for use in sales meetings (working with in-house and/or outsourced designers).

• Own the design, content, and ongoing iteration of the pitch materials (sales, investor, recruiting).

• Own the creation of product explainer videos.

• Create an event schedule and help organize speaking engagements (events, podcasts, etc.)

• Manage the social media and press functions within the company, updating social profiles regularly and working with an external PR firm for announcements and coverage opportunities.

Initially, you will manage all of these functions yourself, working closely with the executive team, with the aim to build out some of these functions under you. 

You have:

• 5 years of experience in marketing, product, or as a founder/early employee at a startup.

• Organizational/project management skills to manage multiple workflows and functions. Experience using modern collaboration tools like Notion, Monday, Airtable, etc. is helpful but not required.

• Experience managing web design and development projects. You don’t have to be a designer/developer but you should understand the basic workflows and be able to oversee internal or external resources.

• An understanding of business analytics and experience taking data (marketing data, sales data, Google analytics data, etc.) to synthesize and draw conclusions.

• The ability to design and produce certain kinds of collateral without agency support (i.e. can work in Google or Microsoft Suite to build decent looking presentations).

• The ability to manage multiple agency relationships for different kinds of collateral / media (videos, web, pitch deck), 

• A commitment to clarity in written communication.

• Experience writing about or creating collateral for tech or software products (a plus would be experience writing about finance, fintech, or cybersecurity).

• An intuition around branding and design. Experience working in mockup/design tools like Figma or Sketch is helpful.
