Founding Marketing Lead

About the role

We are looking for a Market Manager to own Vega’s external presence. This role will be central to how Vega thinks about and executes its go-to-market strategy. Key responsibilities include:

• Own how Vega shows up across every channel - content and thought leadership that earns credibility with buyers and industry press, and a conference and events strategy that puts us in the right rooms with the right people.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Sales team on high-stakes pursuits - sharpening pitch decks, building leave-behinds, drafting exec-level proposals, and helping reps frame Vega's value in language that resonates with carriers and MGAs.
• Help Vega stay ahead of how AI is changing the way B2B companies go to market - from how we generate demand to how we run outbound to how we engage buyers.
• Partner with BizOps on RFP responses, pricing narratives, and deal-specific materials where structured thinking and clear writing make the difference.
• Identify and develop strategic relationships with distribution partners, industry associations, and adjacent ecosystem players.
• Work with the team to make Vega visible to exceptional candidates - through content, community, and a culture story that's actually differentiated.
• Take on work that doesn't fit neatly anywhere else - market entry briefs, conference strategy, competitive teardowns.

Requirements

4-6 years of total experience, with time spent in a market-facing function such as product marketing, brand, growth, partnerships, or content strategy. A background in top-tier consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or equivalent) is a plus. An exceptional communicator - your writing is clear, precise, and not generic. People actually read what you send. Structured enough to run a complex project, but creative enough to produce work that's genuinely interesting rather than just technically correct. Comfortable with ambiguity and motivated by ownership. You don't wait for a playbook. A smart generalist at your core. This role is scoped as a marketing function but will expand - we expect you to expand into commercial strategy, partnerships, and market development over time; wherever the company needs high-agency thinking. A builder. You've shipped things, grown things, or created something in a past role that you're proud of. Fluent with AI tools and comfortable weaving them into your day-to-day work - whether that's research, drafting, or accelerating output. We're an AI-native company and expect the same from our team.

Qualifications

The actual salary will vary depending on multiple factors unique to each candidate, including location, job-related knowledge, transferable skills, work experience and our assessment of your level during the interview process.
