If you’re someone who wants to learn marketing, experiment, and grow alongside a driven team, you’ll love it here.

The Role

We’re looking for a Marketing Associate who’s excited to dive into all areas of marketing and learn by doing.

  • Help optimize and publish AI-generated content to ensure quality, accuracy, and SEO value
  • Support end-to-end content publishing (from draft to CMS upload to final checks)
  • Assist in executing marketing campaigns across channels like email, social, partnerships, and paid
  • Conduct research to support content, competitor analysis, messaging, and strategy
  • Track performance of published content and help with reporting
  • Jump into any additional marketing tasks as needed in a fast-moving environment

What You’ll Learn

  • How to build and scale content in an AI-driven marketing team
  • How SEO, distribution, and content optimization work in real B2B SaaS
  • How to launch and run multi-channel marketing campaigns
  • How cross-functional teams (product, engineering, CS, sales) work together in a startup
  • How to think strategically about messaging, positioning, and storytelling
  • How to operate in a fast-growth environment where your work directly shapes outcomes

About You

  • You are a recent graduate or undergraduate in their final year of university

  • You have strong attention to detail
  • You’re curious, proactive, and always looking to learn

  • You’re interested in AI, SaaS, and modern digital marketing
  • You’re organized, self-managing, and not afraid to ask questions
  • You enjoy working in fast-moving, high-growth environments

  • Get real exposure to high-impact marketing work
  • Work closely with an experienced team who will coach, support, and challenge you
