Director of Marketing

We're looking for someone to own the Astranis brand across creative channels and scale the in-house marketing org. You'll lead visual and narrative strategy across design, video, social platforms, website, and paid demand campaigns all in support of hiring, fundraising, B2B lead generation, and public visibility. This is a leadership role with hands-on execution and high ambiguity, but huge upside.
Role:

• Steward Astranis's brand across visual and digital platforms: graphic design, video, social, website, blog, investor decks, etc.
• Lead and mentor our creative team (currently 1 designer and 3 full-stack video producers), setting high bar for quality and output
• Identify functional gaps, hire top-tier marketers, establish new roles aligned with our growth trajectory
• Develop targeted messaging for our key audiences: investors, customers, government stakeholders, candidates, partners, regulators
• Build and scale audience across core channels: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, YouTube, blog
• Define, launch, and optimize global paid top-of-funnel campaigns that fuel commercial satellite demand and leads

Requirements

• 2+ years experience of management
• 5+ years of total marketing experience
• Track record of ownership: delivered visible results-a channel you scaled, a campaign you led, a creative team you developed
• One "superpower" in either:
• New media (e.g. social growth, YouTube content, X strategy)
• Traditional B2B marketing (e.g. demand gen, lead gen, account-based marketing)
  plus ability and drive to quickly master the other domain
• No specific degree or resume checklist, just proof that you can deliver quality at scale
• Full-time, in-person in San Francisco, Astranis is built on team presence and in-office energy

Bonus:

• A personal brand or content presence that already resonates with an audience
• Creator skills: you can design, shoot, write, or edit content yourself
