About The Position

Responsiv Overview Responsiv is at the forefront of the legal AI revolution. The legal industry—historically slow to embrace technological change—stands on the cusp of unprecedented transformation, and we're leading the charge. As AI reshapes how legal work gets done, we're building the tools that will define this new era. Backed by Greylock and OnDean Forward (Andrew Sieja, founder of Relativity). What we do Responsiv helps organizations stay ahead of regulatory change. Laws and regulations are constantly evolving—and for businesses in regulated industries, keeping up isn't optional. We build AI that understands how the regulatory landscape is shifting and maps those changes to what businesses actually need to do about it. Our platform monitors regulatory updates, identifies what matters to each organization, and surfaces the gaps between new requirements and existing compliance programs. Marketing Director Overview As Responsiv’s first marketing hire, you will define how the world understands us. You will own our brand, our message, and our demand engine. This is not a narrow role—it’s a foundational one. You’ll shape how we show up to the market, how we communicate value to legal and compliance leaders, and how we turn interest into pipeline. You will be accountable for both perception and performance: building a world-class brand while owning measurable outcomes in MQLs and opportunities.
