Digital Marketing Manager

Runpod, Inc.

5h • $115,000 - $150,000 • Remote

About The Position

Runpod is the foundational platform for developers to build and run custom AI systems that scale. With over 500,000 developers worldwide and an annual recurring revenue run rate exceeding $120M, Runpod operates at the intersection of developer velocity and production-scale AI. Founded in 2022, we’ve grown rapidly by building infrastructure purpose-built for modern AI workloads. Our platform enables teams to move from experimentation to deployment with flexibility across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. As a remote-first, globally distributed company, we are building the infrastructure layer that powers the next generation of AI systems.
The Digital Marketing Manager joins Runpod's Marketing team, a lean, high-output team responsible for how Runpod shows up across every channel developers and infrastructure buyers touch. The team works closely with product, design, and sales to translate technical capabilities into compelling messaging and campaigns. This role sits at the intersection of performance and brand, owning the channels that drive both acquisition and awareness at scale.
We're looking for someone hands-on to own and scale Runpod's paid and organic digital presence. This is an individual contributor role for someone who's equally comfortable pulling search query reports and thinking through content strategy. You'll own paid search, paid social, SEO, and AEO, managing agency relationships across all of these channels while building the programs and processes that turn Runpod's growing brand awareness into measurable pipeline.
Runpod is at an inflection point. Developer mindshare is growing fast and the paid and organic channels that support it are still being built out. This role has the opportunity to define how those channels operate: what we bid on, how we show up in AI-generated answers, and how all of it ties back to pipeline. You'll have real ownership and the ability to influence channel strategy from the ground up.
