Founding Marketing Lead

FennelCanada | United States | San Francisco, California, United StatesRemote, Hybrid

About the company


Fennel is a seed stage AI Infrastructure company built by an ex-Facebook team and is backed by top VCs and industry leaders like ex-CTO of Facebook, creator of Kafka etc. Fennel's primary product is realtime feature engineering platform which helps data scientists and ML engineers ship ML systems to production. Despite being so young, Fennel is already making revenue and growing rapidly.To that end, we are looking for a marketing lead to jumpstart marketing at Fennel.​

About the role


We are looking for a marketing lead to join our small but mighty team of 9 people and bootstrap our marketing function. And while the role will skew towards content & product marketing, it will also include all other aspects of marketing too - product marketing, community, paid acquisition, partnerships, events, influencer marketing and lot more - whatever the person in this role discovers to be useful to telling Fennel's story to the world.Cracking GTM is the #1 business problem for us and we believe that marketing could become a powerful lever for customer acquisition.

As such, this is an important high impact role — you will work directly with the company CEO on a daily basis and have a large say in the overall company strategy. There’s a huge opportunity to tell a compelling story to connect our product with the developer community and future customers, and you’ll be at the center of it.In the beginning, this will primarily be an individual contributor role (while potentially working with external contractors) but over time, could evolve into a leadership role such that the rest of the marketing function is built around the person in this role.Note: we have an office in Menlo Park (Bay Area) but we embrace flexible work home policy. And for the right right candidate, we are also open to full remote from anywhere in the US or Canada.​
