[Hiring] VP, Marketing @rise

Role Description

Marketing is in the middle of the biggest shift in a generation. AI is changing how buyers research, what wins attention, and how marketing teams operate. The teams that come out ahead pair excellent taste with the speed and leverage of AI agents. Rise is going all-in on this shift, and we're hiring a VP of Marketing to lead it.

Reporting directly to the Co-CEO, you'll run marketing for Rise across:

• Strategy
• Product marketing
• Demand generation
• Content
• Sales enablement

This isn't a "build-a-30-person-team" version of the role. You'll lead a small, experienced team of excellent marketers, backed by a deep AI agent stack.

You're a hands-on, high-agency, action-oriented operator. By the time others build a proposal deck, you've already implemented the idea and are measuring the results.

You have great taste and a high bar for marketing excellence. You know that AI accelerates the function, but doesn't replace the human touch that makes great marketing magical.

The day-to-day includes:

• Owning marketing's contribution to revenue and pipeline.
• Setting the strategy across Rise's marketing: digital inbound, website, content, media, events, and partnerships.
• Leading a small team of talented marketers and managing external vendors and consultants as required.
• Building and running an AI agent stack for yourself and your team: tools, skills, integrations.
• Obsessing over learning: always up-to-date on marketing trends, channels, tools, and opportunities.
• Setting the quality bar: editing and shaping the moments that matter most: product launches, brand work, executive thought leadership, and original research.
• Partnering with Sales, Product, and Customer Success on offers, content, and assets that move the pipeline.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of marketing experience at B2B SaaS companies, including senior-level ownership of strategy and execution, or equivalent experience.
• Demonstrable track record of real impact — revenue, pipeline.
• Excellent taste: ability to distinguish between a marketing hit and a flop, and guide a team to deliver successful outcomes.
• Self-sufficient with AI: experience in building and shipping agents that enhance marketing work.
• Great product marketing instincts: ability to turn customer insight and product capability into positioning and assets that sell.
• Demand gen fluency: numbers-savvy and comfortable managing a portfolio of channel investments and interpreting results.
• Experience leading small, high-output teams.
• Excellent writer, storyteller, and presenter.
• Bonus: Experience in HR tech, payroll, fintech, or a related B2B SaaS category.

Benefits

• Base salary of $130,000-180,000, depending on experience, plus a bonus and stock options.
• Remote work environment with occasional in-person meetings.
• 3 weeks of paid vacation, flexible personal wellness days, and one day off for your birthday and work anniversary.
• $1,000 personal learning and development budget for courses, conferences, webinars, etc.
• No-wait benefits starting on your first day, including dental, eye care, and $2,000 in counselling coverage.
