Director of Marketing

Atomic Machines•Emeryville, CA

4d•$210,000 - $250,000

About The Position

Atomic Machines is seeking a director-level marketing leader to evolve its brand foundation, strengthen its market presence, and establish the company as a recognized leader in Physical AI and the future of manufacturing. The role owns marketing vision and execution and requires communicating fluently with engineers and with audiences who need to understand the technology. The Director of Marketing will develop a consistent brand identity and voice across the company’s website, presentations, content, events, and external communications. The role will own digital presence, content and thought leadership, conference and speaking opportunities, and public relations and media engagement, including management of external agencies. The Director will set marketing priorities, manage the budget and external partners, and assess how marketing supports brand recognition, audience engagement, and commercial conversations. Initially, work will be delivered through agencies and freelancers, with no internal direct reports. This is a hands-on role involving writing, content development, creative direction, and project delivery. The Director will have substantial authority to choose priorities and recommend investments, and will help determine where to build internal marketing capability over time. Product ownership sits elsewhere; the role partners with technical, product, and commercial leaders to ensure external communications accurately reflect the company’s technology, capabilities, and business priorities. Success means a sharper and more consistent brand, stronger digital and industry presence, a steady flow of credible and compelling content, and growing recognition of Atomic Machines and its potential to transform manufacturing. Compensation includes equity and benefits. The listed salary range is $210,000–$250,000 USD.
