About The Position

We are seeking a Marketing Director to lead NODA’s corporate marketing and communications function. This person will own our external voice, brand presence, and content strategy, ensuring NODA communicates clearly, credibly, and consistently to customers, partners, investors, and the broader defense technology ecosystem. This is a hands-on leadership role. The Marketing Director will both set strategy and execute directly, managing day-to-day marketing activities while building the foundation for a scalable marketing function. The role works closely with company leadership, product, and sales teams, but is focused squarely on brand, communications, and market presence rather than quota-carrying or capture ownership.

Requirements

U.S. Citizen (required). Ability to obtain a security clearance.
7+ years of experience in marketing, corporate communications, or brand roles, ideally within defense, aerospace, or deep-tech sectors.
Prior experience owning corporate marketing and communications for a technology-driven organization.
Demonstrated experience managing social media channels (especially LinkedIn) for a B2B or defense-oriented company.
Strong experience working with external vendors and managing creative deliverables.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to translate technical concepts into clear, professional messaging.
Comfortable operating as both an individual contributor and a strategic leader in an early-stage environment.

Nice To Haves

Prior marketing experience at a defense tech company, prime contractor, or government-adjacent technology firm.
Familiarity with defense, autonomy, unmanned systems, ISR, or mission software markets.
Experience working with PR agencies or managing media relationships in regulated or sensitive industries.
Prior experience scaling marketing functions at a startup or high-growth company.

Responsibilities

Own NODA’s corporate communications and brand execution across all external channels.
Directly manage and execute NODA’s LinkedIn presence, including content planning, posting cadence, and engagement.
Develop and maintain core marketing assets including website content, company decks, one-pagers, press materials, and thought leadership content.
Lead media relations efforts, including press outreach, announcements, and coordination of earned media opportunities.
Manage external vendors and partners (designers, content creators, PR firms, videographers) to support content and brand execution.
Establish and enforce brand standards, messaging consistency, and visual identity across all materials.
Partner with leadership to shape company narrative around product milestones, customer wins, events, and strategic announcements.
Support marketing execution for industry events, conferences, and public-facing engagements.
Track and report on basic marketing performance metrics (engagement, reach, content effectiveness).
