Head of Marketing

About The Job

SmartLogic is an established custom software consultancy that has been building reliable, scalable web and mobile applications for clients since 2005. We've worked with world-class organizations like World Central Kitchen, eMed, Simplebet, Leafly, and GroupOn, and we're widely respected in the developer community as the creators of the long-running and widely downloaded Elixir Wizards podcast.

We're at an exciting inflection point: our brand is respected, our work speaks for itself, and our business is poised for growth—what we need now is a thoughtful, experienced marketing leader to help us tell our story to the right audiences. We have a messaging playbook—ICPs, personas, proof points, etc—now we need to turn it into action.

This is a compelling opportunity for a senior marketer who thrives on elevating brand awareness and driving strategic lead generation campaigns. You'll work closely with the CEO, have significant influence over marketing direction, and have the support and autonomy to bring in contractors and collaborators as needed.
