Head of Marketing

About the role

Ajaia, an AI implementation consultancy and product studio, is hiring a Head of Marketing in New York. The role suits a creative strategist who has personally built and grown an audience and can do it again for Ajaia. You will set positioning and content strategy for the brand and product suite, launch the company's podcast from scratch and lead its social presence. You will write or edit most of the content published under the company's name and report directly to the founders.

Key responsibilities

• Set positioning for Ajaia and the product suite, and hold it across all published content.
• Launch the podcast from scratch: define the format, book the first guests and get the first episodes out.
• Write and personally produce the key pieces, posts and scripts that carry the most weight.
• Decide the two or three channels worth betting on each quarter and say plainly what to stop doing to fund them.
• Build AI-assisted workflows that let a small operation publish like a much larger one.
• Commit to one pipeline number each quarter, state the baseline needed and report against it honestly.
• Coordinate with the marketing team and offshore partners so the calendar and channel bets hold together.
• Report to the founders on what is working and what is being done about what is not.

Required profile

• Strong writer with real editorial taste; able to defend brand positioning under real-time questioning.
• Experience building or growing an audience, publication or channel, with proof of what was done.
• Clear point of view on AI, comfortable publishing it under your own name.
• 3 or more years of relevant experience; a bachelor's degree is preferred but not required.
• Willingness to work on-site in New York.

Required skills

• AI fluency: using AI daily to draft, edit and produce content, and judging good output from slop.
• Ability to stay current on AI capabilities and advise founders on which are worth a bet.

What we offer

• Compensation of $140,000 to $200,000 base, plus a performance bonus of up to 100% of base salary.
• Competitive benefits.
