Marketing Manager

Marketing Manager

About the role

We are building a multi-brand content and distribution engine from the ground up. This is the senior-most marketing role in our India office. You will own the entire media-engine operation: channel portfolio, P&L, the three senior leads (Video, SEO/Organic, and Social), and a team of junior marketers. You will report to the Operations Manager, present a weekly P&L summary to the founder, own the lead-funnel system, and build, live-test, and deploy the internal CMO platform in direct collaboration with the Engineering Manager.

What you'll do

• Build the quarterly marketing strategy, including channel portfolio direction, P&L forecast, and team ramp plan, and present it to the founder for sign-off.
• Own channel-by-channel revenue, costs, and unit economics for the entire media-engine operation.
• Set weekly channel-mix direction across the Video, SEO/Organic, and Social pods.
• Coach and develop the three senior leads through weekly 1:1s and quarterly performance reviews.
• Approve channel-level spend within the founder's budget envelope.
• Hold the risk posture: account survival, zero policy strikes, and zero claim-boundary breaches.
• Present a weekly P&L summary to the founder.
• Maintain equal attention across all sub-departments from day one, with staged expansion as each earns the right to scale.

Must-have

• 7-10 years in marketing leadership at an agency, D2C, or high-growth SaaS company; founder or ex-founder experience is a strong plus.
• Proven ability to build and run a multi-quarter marketing strategy end to end.
• Personal ownership of a marketing-operation P&L at significant scale across multiple channels and teams.
• Experience hiring, managing, and developing senior marketing leads.
• Experience running a multi-channel portfolio.
• AI-native workflow experience with tools such as GPT-4o, Claude, Midjourney, Runway, ElevenLabs, Descript, n8n, or Make.
• Experience working in lean, fast-moving environments.

Preferred

• AEO/GEO awareness.
• Comfortable presenting weekly to a founder and quarterly to a board.

What success looks like

The channel portfolio grows month over month, the team scales without you becoming the bottleneck, the P&L improves quarter over quarter, and the founder can use your weekly P&L summary to set strategy.
