Junior Marketing Lead

Overview

About the Role

We’re looking for a creative and driven junior marketer to join a fast-paced, early-stage startup building next-gen AI-powered enterprise tools. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with the founding team and help shape the company’s go-to-market presence from the ground up.

As our Inbound Marketing Lead, you’ll take the reins on creating compelling product marketing content—think video demos, blog posts, social media content, and more—to drive awareness, interest, and engagement across key channels. You’ll play a critical role in helping us connect with our users, tell our product story, and build a strong digital presence.

We prefer candidates based in the South Bay/San Jose area who can join us for occasional in-person brainstorming and collaboration sessions. However, we’re open to fully remote talent if there’s a strong fit.

Responsibilities: 

• Create and manage product marketing assets such as video walkthroughs, blog content, email campaigns, and social media posts.

• Collaborate with the founders and product team to craft clear messaging that aligns with user needs and company vision.

• Help shape and evolve our content strategy, including social presence, newsletters, customer comms, and blog.

• Contribute to growth initiatives across multiple channels including influencer outreach, partnerships, and thought leadership.

• Assist in building a content engine that supports product-led growth, user onboarding, and brand storytelling.

• Work on projects that range from hands-on content creation to strategy brainstorming with the founding team.

Qualifications: 

• 1–3 years of marketing experience, ideally in a startup or SaaS environment.

• A strong writer and storyteller—you know how to simplify complex ideas and speak to user pain points.

• Experience with tools like Canva, Figma, Notion, HubSpot, or Webflow is a plus (but not required).

• Comfortable wearing many hats and jumping between content creation, campaign planning, and analytics.

• Based in the San Jose / South Bay Area, or open to occasional travel for in-person collaboration.

Nice to Have

• Interest or experience in AI, tech, or knowledge management tools.

• Exposure to product-led growth strategies, including self-serve funnels and freemium models.

• A passion for storytelling, visual content, and keeping up with marketing trends.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a nimble, ambitious team at the ground level—contributing to real impact and growing your skill set quickly alongside experienced entrepreneurs.

 

 

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $35 to $40/hr.  Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
