About The Position

We're hiring a Vice President, Marketing to own the day-to-day leadership and performance of StudyFetch's marketing organization. This person operates as a right hand to the CMO and CEO, taking new growth initiatives from first idea through GTM execution with the team. We build AI products, and we run marketing the same way. The person in this role works with AI at an expert level: they know how to build internal tools and automations when the team needs them, they prototype campaigns and workflows with AI before briefing the team, and they push every function they touch to operate the same way. This is an operator role with builder instincts, not a delegate-and-review role. You'll run our paid acquisition strategy hands-on, manage the marketing budget alongside the CMO, and deliver growth insights directly to the executive team. You're as comfortable in Mixpanel as you are in a creative review, and when you see a slow process, you know whether AI can fix it and how. The ideal candidate has led and hired small-to-medium teams, thrives in fast-paced creative environments, and brings clarity, consistency, and momentum to a growing marketing function. You'll define the standards, build the processes, and lead the people who make StudyFetch a brand that students love and remember.

Requirements

6-10 years of total marketing experience, including 4+ years of leadership experience. You've built marketing teams, not just inherited them: defining roles, hiring, and developing people as the function scaled
AI-native by habit, not by mandate. You work with AI daily at a near-expert level, you know how to build automations and internal tools when something needs to exist (vibe coding counts), and manual processes that a tool could handle make you impatient
A proven track record of driving accelerative growth, ideally taking a small company through rapid scale
Deep, hands-on paid media expertise across TikTok, Meta, YouTube, and influencer-driven ecosystems. You have personally run campaigns, not just managed people who did
Strong content and creator marketing instincts, with experience building or scaling creator programs
Fluent in how Gen Z discovers and shares. You know what reads as native versus corporate on TikTok and Instagram, and you've marketed to a young audience before
Technical fluency: comfortable in product analytics tools like Mixpanel, and capable of shipping a working prototype with modern AI tooling when the situation calls for it
Experience owning or co-owning a marketing budget and making reallocation decisions based on data
A systems builder who creates workflows and repeatable processes that scale team efficiency
Comfortable switching between hands-on execution and strategic leadership as needed
Confident leading cross-functional collaboration across product, creator, content, and data functions
Based in Los Angeles and excited to build in-office with a collaborative, fast-moving team
