Requirements
  • The "Builder" DNA: You have a track record of building marketing functions from 0 to 1 in high-growth, technical SaaS environments.
  • AI Native: You don't just use ChatGPT; you understand how to integrate LLMs and automation tools into the entire marketing lifecycle to gain a 10x speed advantage.
  • Quantitative Rigor: You live in the data. You can trace every dollar spent back to a pipeline stage and defend your ROI to a skeptical Board.
  • Competitive Spirit: You enjoy winning. You are obsessed with understanding market shifts in electrification and additive manufacturing to ensure First Resonance stays ahead.
Responsibilities
  • The Mission: Build the Engine: Move beyond "brand awareness" to own the pipeline. You are responsible for the immediate acceleration of new logos and qualified pipeline.
  • The Mission: AI-First Execution: Replace manual, slow-moving processes with automated workflows. From content orchestration to lead scoring and outreach, you will build a lean, high-output machine.
  • The Mission: Competitive Warfare: Analyze the tactics of our competitors and outperform them. You will equip our sales team with the intelligence and collateral needed to win in a crowded market.
  • The Mission: Velocity over Tradition: We value iterative testing over six-month planning cycles. You will deploy, measure, and pivot in real-time.
  • Core Responsibilities: Demand Generation & Pipeline: Take full accountability for the "New Logo" quota. Design and execute multi-channel demand engines that deliver predictable, scalable revenue.
  • Core Responsibilities: Automation & Tech Stack: Architect a marketing technology stack that prioritizes AI and automation, reducing the need for bloated headcount while increasing lead velocity.
  • Core Responsibilities: Sales Enablement as a Weapon: Partner with Sales to develop aggressive "anti-competitor" playbooks and account-based marketing (ABM) strategies that move the needle.
  • Core Responsibilities: Cross-Functional Growth: Work directly with Product and Engineering to bake virality and onboarding hooks into the product, driving both MQLs and PQLs.
  • Core Responsibilities: Strategic Positioning: Serve on the Executive Leadership Team to align marketing spend directly with aggressive Board-level growth targets.
