About the role
Burro is seeking a Director of Marketing to help take our marketing function to its next stage. In this role, you'll be responsible for evaluating an early-stage function and turning it into a repeatable, scalable engine. The ideal candidate thrives in the space where high-level strategy meets hands-on execution. This role reports to our Chief Revenue Officer and will be a key hire for the go-to-market team.
Responsibilities
- Assess what's working in Burro's current marketing efforts and build a clear strategy and infrastructure roadmap to scale qualified pipeline: systems, team, and execution
- Sharpen and evolve our brand positioning and messaging across a technical multi-persona audience of growers, ag and industrial operations leaders, and dealers
- Own demand generation: expand and professionalize campaigns across digital, field/trade shows, content, and partnerships to drive qualified pipeline
- Partner closely with Sales to align marketing programs with revenue targets and pipeline goals
- Mature the marketing tech stack, reporting, and attribution models to measure what's working and cut what isn't
- Manage external agencies, freelancers, and a growing in-house team as the function scales
- Represent the Burro brand at industry events, trade shows, and in the field with growers, translating authentic customer insights into marketing narrative
- Balance long-range brand and category strategy with the tactical, hands-on work needed at an early-stage company
Requirements
- 7+ years in marketing, with direct experience scaling a marketing function beyond its early foundation at an early-stage or high-growth company
- A track record of being both strategic and tactical: you can set the roadmap and also execute the campaign, or run the event yourself
- Experience building demand generation and brand programs in a technical, B2B, or industrial/agricultural context (or comparable complex-sale environment)
- Comfortable operating with limited resources and ambiguity, and a bias toward shipping and iterating over perfecting
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical robotics/autonomy concepts for a non-technical audience
- Willingness to spend time in the field with growers and operations teams to understand the product and the customer firsthand
- Genuine excitement about agriculture, robotics, and Burro's mission
- Experience with tools like HubSpot
