Director/VP of Marketing

Lightship
South San Francisco, CA
Category Marketing
Job Description
Role Overview

Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder, you’ll own marketing at Lightship: the strategy, the team, and the numbers. You will set a marketing strategy that drives fast brand exposure and measurable sales ROI, and hold it steady as a North Star while the weekly and monthly realities of a growth-stage hardware company shift under it.

What You Will Do

Set the strategy, then execute it. Build a marketing strategy that ties brand building to pipeline and revenue, articulate it so the whole company can repeat it, and keep it intact through the quarter-to-quarter turbulence of a growth-stage hardware business.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will partner with Brand, run the playbook, drive qualified demand, lead and grow the marketing team, measure honestly, support the commercial line, and work alongside the product.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in marketing, including 4+ leading a team, with a track record of taking a consumer brand from early awareness to real demand.
  • Experience marketing a high-consideration, physical product with a long sales cycle, where the buyer researches for months before they commit.
  • A data-driven approach; you set measurable goals, track attribution, and change course based on results
  • Excellent storytelling, with the ability to make technical products accessible and compelling.
  • Experience building a team and marketing function from an early stage.

Benefits

  • Healthcare, Dental, Vision
  • 401k
  • Flexible Paid Time Off
  • 13 Company Holidays
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave
  • Yearly LightTrip stipend for an RV trip &/or professional development opportunities
