About the role
Shuttlebase is building self‑evolving websites that use generative AI, large‑scale data pipelines, and experimentation to sell more, convert better, and grow faster. As a well‑funded, early‑stage startup, we’re looking for a Head of Marketing to own the strategic layer end‑to‑end while leading and developing a growing team. You’ll work closely with the founding team and a Marketing Manager to shape positioning, drive demand, and turn marketing into a predictable pipeline engine.
Responsibilities
- Own Shuttlebase's marketing strategy end‑to‑end: positioning, messaging, brand, demand, and growth.
- Shape and evolve the brand voice to stand out in the AI and eCommerce landscape.
- Build and own a proactive GTM calendar and narrative, aligning sales, customer success, and product.
- Decide where and how we show up at conferences and industry events, turning presence into pipeline.
- Directly manage a Marketing Manager: set clear goals, priorities, and a strategic framework; build a roadmap and prioritization layer to scale.
- Mentor and develop the direct report.
- Build and run a content engine that turns ideas, customer wins, and insights into momentum.
- Own demand generation across paid ads, performance marketing, funnels, and experimentation.
- Operate at the intersection of strategy and tactical day‑to‑day execution.
Requirements
- 7+ years of marketing experience, including leadership in a high‑growth startup (SaaS, B2B, or eCommerce tools strongly preferred).
- Experienced leader in a growing marketing function capable of introducing strategic roadmaps, prioritization frameworks, and a proactive GTM calendar.
- Proven ability to manage and develop individual contributors, not just direct work but grow people.
Skills
- Deep understanding of content, branding, performance marketing, and demand generation.
- Strong intuition for positioning and messaging – ability to make complex products simple and compelling.
- Hands‑on experience with paid channels (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, etc.) and performance optimization.
- Comfortable owning real numbers: pipeline, CAC, conversion rates, not just awareness metrics.
- Builder mindset: strategic when needed, scrappy when it counts.
- Clear communicator who can align founders, GTM teams, and marketers around a single narrative.
Benefits
- Full health coverage (medical, dental, vision) for you + your family.
- Unlimited PTO.
- Tax‑free commuter and parking benefits.
- Free One Medical Membership.
- 401(k) plan.
Pay
Competitive compensation plus meaningful equity — real ownership in Shuttlebase’s success.
Schedule
Office‑first culture (4 days/week) based in Midtown Manhattan.
