Description
HEAD OF GROWTH & MARKETING
Location: Remote
Status: Full-Time
At Misfits & Machines, the innovation sister company of Marketing Architects, we’re not just exploring what AI can create—we’re building transformative technologies that help marketers machine remarkable growth in the age of AI. Our team is obsessed with reimagining the marketing value chain through automation, machine learning, and scalable innovation. If you believe the future belongs to bold ideas executed with precision and humanity, we’d love to meet you.
ROLE OVERVIEW
You will own the commercial engine for Misfits & Machines. Every dollar, every deal, every demand signal, every story we tell the market. You'll lead the go-to-market for a portfolio of AI-native advertising and media platforms moving from build into beta and beyond. You'll open and structure enterprise platform partnership conversations with the kinds of aggregators who already own deep relationships with the customers our products are built to serve. You'll build the social, content, and demand engine that gives our products voice in the market.
You'll do all of it as a team of one, leveraged by AI tools, with executive air cover and a creative engine behind you. When the model proves out, you'll hire the team that grows underneath you.
This is multi-year work. Year one is foundation. Year two is throughput. Year three is the engine running at the scale our products demand.
This is a founding commercial role inside a maturing company. The function is founding. The operating environment is not. You're joining an established leadership team, a developed strategic doctrine across our products, and a capital and infrastructure position most early commercial hires don't get. You should want it because of that, not in spite of it.
What you'll do:
- Building the partnership function. Our partnership strategy is light today. Your first phase is changing that. Landscape research, target prioritization, partnership economics, GTM sequencing, and the sales staffing plan that will eventually execute against it.
- Closing enterprise platform partnerships. Opening and structuring conversations with the large platforms and aggregators whose customer bases align with our products. Sitting across from VPs of Partnerships at major platform companies and walking out with signed term sheets. The first LOI in active negotiation is a realistic year-one milestone; closed partnership revenue is year-two work.
- Owning the full marketing function. Positioning, messaging, brand voice in partnership with our Creative Alchemist, social, content, email, paid where it makes sense, and the website.
- Designing and operating the modern AI-leveraged GTM stack. Clay, Apollo, Smartlead, Instantly, n8n, Claude, ElevenLabs, and whatever else proves out. You will build workflows we haven't thought of yet.
- Translating product reality into market reality. Working closely with our product, engineering, and creative teams so what we ship is what we can sell, and what we sell is what we ship.
- Building the commercial operating system. Partnership economics, pipeline forecasts, and the commercial reporting cadence that lets the leadership team make good decisions.
- Hiring your team when the math says it's time, and not before.
Who you are:
- 10+ years across some combination of marketing, sales, BD, growth, or RevOps, with proven depth in at least two and demonstrated capability across three.
- Founding-team or early-stage experience. A track record of being employee #5 to #50 at a fast-growing tech company, ideally B2B SaaS or platform. You know what it feels like to be the entire commercial team.
- Demonstrably AI-native. You don’t just use AI tools. You have opinions about them, you’ve rebuilt your own job around them, and you can show us a workflow you built that you’re proud of.
- Full-funnel operator. You write the cold email, you build the Clay table, you run the demo
