Head of Marketing / Growth (Enterprise AI | 0-to-1 Builder)
About The Position
HireNow Staffing is acting as a direct placement partner for a fast-growing enterprise AI startup seeking a Head of Marketing / Growth to build and scale its marketing function from the ground up. This is a true 0-to-1 leadership role for a builder—someone who thrives in early-stage environments, operates with founder-level ownership, and can translate deeply technical innovation into clear, compelling market narratives. You will own how the company shows up to the world: positioning, pipeline generation, storytelling, growth experiments, and the marketing infrastructure that powers the next phase of scale. This is not a fit for candidates coming from e-commerce, consumer-heavy marketing backgrounds, or hands-off leadership styles. Stable career progression and hands-on execution are essentia l.
Requirements
- 5–10 years of marketing experience , with at least 4–6+ years in high-growth startup environments
- Proven success building marketing functions from scratch (0-to-1) while remaining hands-on
- Full-stack B2B marketing expertise across the funnel: demand generation, SEO/GEO, paid search, lifecycle, and organic growth
- Experience in enterprise B2B industries such as compliance, fintech, security, AI infrastructure, or adjacent markets
- Strong ability to translate complex technical products into compelling, customer-centered positioning
- Track record of executing launches, campaigns, and growth initiatives with measurable business impact
- Fluency with modern marketing and analytics tools (HubSpot, GA, Webflow, Notion, Figma, etc.)
- Must be local to San Francisco and able to work onsite
- Stable resume with consistent tenure and sustained impact (no freelance-heavy or jumpy backgrounds)
Nice To Haves
- Experience shaping AI narratives in highly technical enterprise markets
- Track record of building pipeline engines without large teams or agency dependence
- Strong product marketing instincts paired with demand generation execution
- Ability to create repeatable growth systems across content, acquisition, and partnerships
- Experience working directly with founders in an early-stage startup setting
Responsibilities
- Design and run integrated marketing campaigns across email, web, SEO/GEO, paid search, and organic channels to drive awareness and qualified pipeline
- Own the company's narrative and content strategy, including thought leadership, customer storytelling, launches, and community-building
- Build and continuously optimize acquisition and distribution strategies across organic and paid channels
- Analyze performance data, run growth experiments, and iterate quickly to unlock new pipeline levers
- Partner directly with founders, product, engineering, and sales to align messaging, enable launches, and amplify customer wins
- Build the marketing foundation: tooling, dashboards, automation workflows, reporting, and scalable playbooks
- Stay ahead of platform shifts and algorithm changes (LinkedIn, X, search trends) to maximize traction and reach
- Operate as both strategic leader and hands-on executor—this is not a delegation-only role
