About The Position

Comet is building the development platform for teams who want to ship robust, reliable, and responsible AI applications. Opik, our open source LLM evaluation framework, has quickly become one of the most popular tools in the space. Our experiment management platform is used by data scientists at companies like Uber, Netflix, and Etsy. Tens of thousands of researchers, engineers, academics, and hobbyists use Comet every day to build the future of AI. Working at Comet will give you access to the most exciting work being done in all areas of machine learning. Some of the top researchers and companies working on self-driving cars, drug discovery, particle research, diffusion models, and LLMs use Comet every day. Your work has the potential to accelerate the development of some of the most impactful technology in the world, and you will be doing it alongside a team of passionate, caring individuals. If that sounds exciting, Comet is the right place for you. Comet is backed by more than $63 million in venture capital funding and powers some of the best machine-learning teams in the world, including Netflix, Uber, Etsy, and Mobileye. We are a remote-first company with offices in New York City (USA) and Tel Aviv (Israel). The Role We're looking for a VP of Marketing to lead Opik's go-to-market motion across the full spectrum - product marketing, developer relations, growth, content, community, events, and brand. You'll own the team and the strategy. You'll be the connective tissue between what we build and who we need to reach. This isn't a "run campaigns and report on MQLs" role. This is a builder role. We're operating in a fast-moving, competitive space, and we need someone who can move at startup speed while building the foundations that scale. You'll report to the COO (former VP of Marketing) and collaborate directly with the CEO, Head of Product, and CTO.
