About The Position

Atomic is growing a diverse and inclusive team of people turning care, craft, and curiosity into lasting value for our clients, communities, and one another. This is the job for someone who sees a messy process and wants to fix it. If you're excited about using AI to do more, faster, and you find satisfaction in building systems that scale, you'll fit right in. Company Since 2001, Atomic Object has designed and developed software products for web, mobile, desktop, and embedded devices. We were founded on the belief that not all software is created equal. Many people can write code, but it takes a close-knit team of passionate people to create exceptional, innovative products that change the way people do business. This is all the more true in the age of AI. We’re an employee-owned company with 125+ Atoms based in our Ann Arbor, Chicago, Grand Rapids, and Raleigh offices. Unlike many other technology companies, we have a flat organization. There is no corporate ladder to climb. As a company that values transparency, we practice open-books management. At Atomic, you can build a meaningful career doing work you care about without sacrificing ownership, transparency, or a seat at the table. Job Overview POSITION Atomic Object's marketing team runs lean. As the Marketing Operations Lead, you'll keep the engine running: managing the systems, content, and operations that sustain Atomic's brand presence and sales pipeline. You'll systematize and automate the highest-friction marketing operations, freeing team capacity for higher-leverage work. Atomic has strong inbound, a clear go-to-market focus, and meaningful analytical groundwork already in place. You'll inherit that foundation, take it to the next level, and use data to design strategic experiments that connect Atomic more directly to potential clients, demand, and revenue. The right candidate combines operational discipline with analytical ambition and uses AI to make that combination work at lean-team scale. If you want to build something that directly moves revenue, this is the role.
