[Hiring] Senior Marketing Manager @Akkio

Role Description

As Senior Marketing Manager at Akkio, you'll own the programs that put Akkio in front of the world's largest media agencies and other media ecosystem players:

• Account-based marketing that opens doors at named holding companies and independents.
• Events that turn those doors into relationships.

Our market is unusually concentrated, making marketing here a precision game:

• The right message, to the right people at the right accounts, at the right moment.
• One well-run executive dinner or sharply targeted account program can move more pipeline than a quarter of broad-reach spend.

This role is built for owners. Marketing at a fast-moving AI startup is rarely fully defined and often shifts as we learn from partners.

We're looking for someone who:

• Takes a loosely shaped goal, builds the program that achieves it, and runs it end-to-end without waiting for a playbook.
• Creates a repeatable playbook.

What you'll do

• Own account-based marketing end-to-end: define target account lists with sales, build account and buying-committee intelligence, and orchestrate multi-channel programs that create and accelerate pipeline at named agencies and holding companies.
• Own our events program end-to-end: industry conferences, executive dinners, intimate roundtables, and partner moments — from strategy, budget, and vendor management through flawless on-site execution and disciplined follow-up.
• Partner closely with sales and leadership to align marketing programs with account plans, arm the team with the right assets, and ensure every touch reflects how agencies actually buy.
• Build and run the operational backbone of our programs: campaign execution in our marketing automation stack, clean audience segmentation, and follow-up workflows that never drop a lead.
• Measure what matters: track program performance against pipeline and account-penetration goals, report clearly on what's working, and reallocate quickly when something isn't.
• Champion the Akkio brand in market, ensuring everything we ship — an invitation, a booth, a nurture email — is polished, on-voice, and worthy of the enterprise partners we serve.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of B2B marketing experience with real depth in account-based marketing and events, ideally marketing to enterprise buyers with complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
• You know the agency and media ecosystem from the inside: how holding companies and independents are structured, who influences a platform decision, and where the industry actually gathers.
• You've integrated AI into your daily workflow — for research, drafting, analysis, and campaign building.
• Meticulous attention to detail: you sweat the seating chart, the segmentation logic, and the typo in the subject line.
• You thrive in a startup: you're energized by pace and ambiguity, comfortable being the whole marketing engine behind a program.
• Based in New York City and energized by in-person work.

Bonus points

• Experience marketing AdTech, MarTech, or AI products to agencies or media companies.
• You've built an executive dinner or roundtable series from scratch and can point to the pipeline it created.
• Hands-on experience with ABM and marketing automation tooling (we use HubSpot) and intent or account-intelligence platforms.
• A network across agency holding companies and independents.
• Previous early-stage startup experience.

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) plan.
• PTO.

Additional information

• Location: New York City. The day-to-day is a remote position with an in-person component.
• Compensation: Competitive salary depending on experience, plus substantial equity grants.
• Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the US.
