About The Position

As Marketing Lead at AVIAN, you will build an AI-forward marketing function to scale the company to $10M+ ARR. This role requires an exceptional operator who can leverage AI agents, automation, and sharp positioning to perform the work of a small team. You will own the 1-to-many growth engine, including brand authority, demand generation, content creation, website conversion, lifecycle marketing, event amplification, and AI-driven outbound support. This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on building, automating, launching, analyzing, and improving marketing operations.

Requirements

• Proven track record building pipeline in a startup or scale-up environment.
• Evidence of agentic AI workflows in production, not just prompting or experimentation.
• Ability to demo AI workflows you have shipped, such as outbound research agents, enrichment pipelines, programmatic content systems, lifecycle automation, custom GPTs, Claude projects, Clay workflows, Lindy agents, n8n automations, or similar.
• Public evidence of an AI-native marketing point of view, such as writing, side projects, GitHub, Loom walkthroughs, shipped tools, or documented workflows.
• Strong content ability across positioning, landing pages, LinkedIn, founder voice, email, and sales enablement.
• Strong demand-generation instincts across inbound, outbound support, events, lifecycle, and conversion.
• Hands-on experience with HubSpot or similar CRM and marketing automation systems.
• Ability to operate without a large team, agency layer, or perfect process.
• Strong analytical discipline and clear ROI thinking.
• High ownership, direct communication, and bias for action.
• Fluent English.

Nice To Haves

• Experience marketing to manufacturers, plant managers, safety teams, maintenance leaders, insurers, brokers, or industrial operators.
• Experience in industrial IoT, fire prevention, predictive maintenance, machine vision, automation, safety tech, or hardware-enabled SaaS.
• Experience with SEO, AIO, programmatic landing pages, paid search, paid social, and conversion optimization.
• Experience planning and executing trade fair marketing.
• German language skills.
• Based in Zurich, Europe, or a major US industrial hub.

Responsibilities

• Build AVIAN’s AI-forward marketing operating model from the ground up.
• Own LinkedIn, founder-brand content, and high-signal thought leadership for industrial fire prevention, insurance, and manufacturing.
• Use AI workflows to create programmatic content at scale across customer stories, vertical pages, SEO/AIO pages, outbound assets, and sales enablement.
• Build AI-driven outbound research and enrichment workflows for priority accounts, sectors, and buying committees.
• Design lifecycle automation beyond standard nurture, including lead scoring, reactivation, segmentation, trigger-based campaigns, and sales handoff.
• Improve AVIAN’s website conversion, landing pages, SEO, and AI-search visibility.
• Turn trade fairs into pipeline through pre-event targeting, content, booking flows, on-site support, and post-event follow-up.
• Build and manage lean growth experiments across paid, organic, email, content, and partner channels.
• Work closely with sales to convert marketing activity into qualified pipeline and revenue.
• Track what works, cut what does not, and build repeatable systems.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation.
• Performance-based variable compensation tied to pipeline and ARR milestones.
• Equity participation.
• Budget authority for tools, experiments, events, and selective external support.
• Flexible, high-trust working model.
• International team with a clear mission and strong customer focus.
