Senior Marketing Manager
About The Position
Modern Intelligence is seeking a Senior Marketing Manager to lead the company's presence across all media channels, including video, social media, print, and events. This role involves a hands-on approach, with an expectation to produce a significant portion of the work initially, leveraging AI tools for efficiency and bringing in external agencies or freelancers when necessary. The manager will be responsible for developing and executing marketing strategies that translate a clear product story into compelling visual content, such as short-form and long-form videos, engaging social media posts, professional print materials, and impactful trade-show booths. As the first marketing hire, this role has the potential to grow into building and leading an internal marketing team.
Requirements
- 3+ years in marketing, brand, demand generation, or GTM at a B2B, hardware, defense, or deep-tech company (agency experience on the client side of briefs also counts).
- Proven experience briefing and managing external creatives: agencies, freelancers, or production partners for video, design, or events.
- Strong written voice: ability to turn technical product language into clear customer-facing copy.
- Hands-on experience with video and social media (editing or producing short-form, posting and iterating).
- Comfort across web/landing pages, event/booth collateral, and basic campaign operations (calendar, assets, deadlines).
- Heavy day-to-day use of AI tools for research, drafting, editing, creative iteration, and production speed, with judgment on when to ship vs. when a human pass is required.
- Portfolio or work samples that show shipped campaigns or assets, not only strategy documents.
- Ability to travel for events, demos, and customer or partner moments as needed.
- Must be a U.S. person (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or other protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).
Nice To Haves
- Prior in-house marketing roles with leadership or stretch-leadership experience.
- Experience with CRMs or light marketing ops tools (Resend, Clay, Attio, or similar).
- Existing relationships with creative or production partners you would bring into the fold.
Responsibilities
- Own how Modern Intelligence shows up across video, social, print, booths, and design.
- Produce a large share of marketing work yourself, using AI tools to move faster on research, drafts, edits, and creative options.
- Hire and manage external vendors (agencies, freelancers, production) for areas where specialists are needed.
- Set the narrative, creative standard, and vendor stack for marketing efforts.
- Produce demos for short-form video.
- Create explainers and long-form video content.
- Develop sharp, relevant, and engaging social media content for platforms like LinkedIn/X.
- Source and create content with partners.
- Develop print and design materials that reflect a serious defense company.
- Manage trade-show booths from brief through on-site execution.
- Build and run a small vendor roster on a startup budget.
- Hold partners to deadlines and fix work that is late or off-brand.
- Work with founders and technical leaders as the primary story owners.
- Build and own an entire internal marketing team eventually.
