VP of Brand

Search Atlas•San Francisco, CA

1d•$250,000 - $300,000•Remote

About The Position

Search Atlas is building the category-defining platform for agentic marketing. We are a $30M+ ARR company with 215 employees, and we are accelerating our position as the platform where AI agents do the marketing work that humans used to do manually. We are hiring our first VP of Brand to own the most important job in our next chapter: making Search Atlas synonymous with agentic marketing the way Figma owns collaborative design and HubSpot owns inbound marketing. This is not a “make the logo look nice” role. This is the role that defines how the market thinks about an entirely new category. You will be the architect of our brand narrative, the orchestrator of our founders’ personal brands, and the leader who builds and scales our social, video, PR, and creative teams. You report directly to our co-founders and will have the resources, budget, and authority to hire the team you need. If you’ve ever wanted to be the person who names a movement and then builds the machine that makes the entire market adopt it, this is that role. About Search Atlas Search Atlas is an agentic marketing platform that combines SEO, content, site management, and AI-powered automation into a single system. Our platform serves thousands of businesses, from startups to enterprises, and we are building the future where AI agents handle the execution layer of marketing while humans focus on strategy and creativity. What makes us different: • We are category creators, not feature followers. We are defining “agentic marketing” as the next evolution beyond traditional SEO and marketing automation. • We have a massive community and education ecosystem. Thousands of marketers engage with our content, attend our challenges and summits, and learn through our platform. • We are founder-led with strong personal brands. Our CEO, Manick Bhan, is an active voice in the marketing and AI space. Our co-founder, Sophia Deluz-Bhan, intends to launch a brand in that space as well. This is a strategic advantage we intend to multiply. • We are a $30M+ ARR company with 215 employees. This is a company with real revenue, real customers, and real momentum — not a pre-revenue startup hoping to find product-market fit.
