About The Position

Mach9 is pioneering the next era of the surveying and geospatial industry. Our AI-driven platform opens up a world of possibilities for the millions of surveyors and civil engineers responsible for supporting the $3 trillion infrastructure industry. With our market-defining technology, engineers can leverage geospatial data to complete projects faster than ever before. Our first product , Mach9 Digital Surveyor, is transforming the highly-manual surveying workflows by automatically extracting features (such as signs, curbs, and utility poles) from large-scale imagery and 3D datasets—delivering results up to 96 times faster than today’s labor-intensive process. By dramatically scaling what surveyors can achieve, Mach9 empowers the industry to accelerate infrastructure development, improve decision-making, and fundamentally reshape the way we build and maintain our world. Mach9 is backed by Quiet Capital, Y Combinator, Overmatch Ventures, Kyle Vogt (founder of Cruise), Amar Hanspal (former CEO of Autodesk), Scott Belsky (CPO of Adobe), Gokul Rajaram (former executive at DoorDash), and more. The role: Join Mach9 as our founding marketer and build the GTM engine that reshapes how the world makes digital maps. You will design marketing plans, create the content, and run the campaigns that drive inbound leads, positions Mach9 as a leader in geospatial AI, and influences top engineers and infrastructure decision-makers. You not only know how to make great content, but also how to distribute, measure, and convert it into pipeline. This is a hands-on role. You will plan and execute integrated campaigns that move prospects from first touch to closed deal, choosing the right channels, formats, and messages for each stage of the funnel. You will work directly with our CEO and go-to-market team to shape how we tell our story, and you will own the assets and campaigns that bring it to life. Mach9 is transforming an industry that has been doing things the same way for decades, and you will help the world understand why that matters. You will set our content and campaign agenda, manage execution across multiple channels, and ensure every launch, asset, and program moves the needle on brand credibility, demand generation, and customer engagement.
