What you'll do

Recurring campaign workflows are supported so marketing programs operate smoothly and consistently across event, lifecycle, community, and brand initiatives. Marketing tools such as Iterable or similar systems are learned, and suggestions for process improvement are contributed over time. Post-event and post-campaign recaps are built to clarify what worked and what the next steps should be.

Requirements

The posting states a minimum of 3 years of experience.

One to three years of experience in marketing, events, or operations roles, including internships and contract work, is brought to the role. Tasks, details, and timelines are tracked reliably so that items are not dropped even when priorities shift. Clear, confident written and verbal communication coordinates stakeholders across multiple functions without friction. Comfort operating in ambiguous situations is demonstrated by flagging blockers, closing loops, and keeping stakeholders informed. San Francisco-based presence is maintained with regular in-person attendance. AI tools are used in daily work to work faster and smarter rather than as a crutch. Issues are flagged early and follow-up is completed without being asked.

Nice to have

Relevant experience supporting events, field marketing, or community programs is valued. Familiarity with tools such as Iterable, Luma, or Looker is considered an advantage. Startup or high-growth tech company experience informs the work. Exposure to email marketing operations, campaign coordination, or lifecycle programs is helpful. A background in community coordination, developer events, or brand activations is welcomed. Experience in AI, ML, voice tech, or developer-facing products is a genuine plus.

Practical notes

This position is based in San Francisco and requires regular in-person presence. The role involves confidential access to customer data and company information, requiring discretion and sound judgment. Travel may be required for regional events and programs. Typical interview steps

Marketing interviews often include a portfolio review, a campaign exercise, and analytics questions. Candidates may be asked to plan a launch, write a brief, or improve a funnel. Some loops include a presentation. Results from past campaigns carry the most weight. Interviewers ask about specific campaigns you ran and what the numbers said. Preparing a short case of one campaign with its results is strong preparation.

Good to know

Questions to ask

Useful questions for the interview: what a typical week looks like, how work is assigned, what tools the team uses, and how feedback works. Asking how the role has changed recently and what the team wishes it had known when joining is also reasonable. Questions about the manager's priorities are especially valued.

Career growth

Marketing careers move from associate to manager, director, and VP levels. Specializations include growth, brand, product marketing, and content. Generalists often start, then specialize as they advance. Measured impact on pipeline and revenue drives progression. Marketing careers reward measurable results and adaptability. Channel experience plus business sense usually beats a general resume.
