Gumloop - Head of Marketing (Hands-On IC)

Location

San Francisco HQ (Jackson Square). Full relocation covered.

Why this role exists

We’ve reached the “great product, organic love, minimal marketing” stage. You will be shaping our marketing org, working directly with the founders, owning everything from positioning to acquisition experiments. Think of it as a green-field experiment lab with real scale and resources behind it.

We're looking for someone to lead us on the marketing front. Someone who's done it before in some similar capacity. You would have a large budget and autonomy to experiment aggressively.

What You’ll Do (first 12–18 Months)

Content Strategy

Coordinate the team's efforts across content marketing, blog, social media, product launches etc. We have all the resources to create large amounts of content but need someone to obsess over the general strategy.

Campaign concepting & execution

Dream up, launch, and iterate paid + organic campaigns (search, social, podcasts, influencer, newsletter swaps). Own the experimentation results and decide the direction to invest Gumloop's resources in.

Messaging & positioning (Enterprise)

Distill technical features into crisp value props for both Enterprises and individuals; pressure-test with users; direct copy on website, landing pages, and sales-enablement snippets.

PLG growth loops

Hold the team accountable for conversions and the product's ability to convert customers once they hear about us.

Growth analytics

Use available tooling to ruthlessly determine what's working vs what's not.
