About The Position

We’re looking for an accomplished Ads marketer to lead the end-to-end marketing engine that fuels Life360’s rapidly growing advertising business. In this role, you will own how we position our advertising solutions to the market, help drive adoption advertisers, and elevate our platform as a must-buy for families. To do so, you’ll lead a high-impact team spanning product marketing, go-to-market strategy, demand generation, content, and events/experiential. You’ll partner deeply with Product, Sales, Comms and Life360’s Consumer Marketing leaders to shape narrative, grow our awareness, champion the voice of advertisers, and help define the future of our ads platform. This is a unique opportunity to get into the early phases of building what we believe can become a truly iconic brand, not only for consumers, but for advertisers as well. And, at Life360, you can be bold and throw away the “playbook”, taking real risks to make noise and build something truly unique in the marketplace.
