Head Of Marketing

About VESSL AI

VESSL AI is a specialized AI cloud. We provision and route GPU capacity across multiple clusters and providers, giving AI teams one platform to access, scale, and manage compute, from a single GPU to thousands. We serve top research labs, AI startups, and enterprise teams. Founded in Seoul and scaling fast in San Francisco, we are building out the US go to market team this year.

About the Role

VESSL is building the specialized AI cloud for the teams pushing AI forward: frontier labs, physical AI companies, and research institutions. Demand from AI researchers is growing and our sales team is scaling. What we don't have is a marketing leader whose job is to own how the market finds, understands, and chooses VESSL.

That's you. This is a builder role in the truest sense. You will set our positioning and personally run our first programs while building the marketing function around you: designing the funnel, hiring the first marketers, and writing the playbooks they run. You'll be equally comfortable walking an ML researcher through why our cloud fits their workload and walking a growth marketer through their first funnel review.

You will own the marketing funnel end to end across every market VESSL serves: growth, field, and community, and the global story that ties them together. In an AI cloud business, the researcher running a first job on a single GPU today is the lab reserving a cluster tomorrow, and this role owns that path from first touch to pipeline, in every region.

What You'll Own

Own the Story

• Own all global messaging and positioning for VESSL: one core story on why AI researchers choose us over hyperscalers and neoclouds, localized with regional teams for each market we serve

• Lead global launches and arm sales teams in every region with the narrative, case studies, and battlecards that win technical buyers

Own the Funnel

• Own the key metrics across the entire marketing funnel, from first touch through activation, self-serve revenue, and sourced pipeline, with a dashboard VESSL leadership can plan against

• Build and run digital growth across paid, SEO and AEO, content, lifecycle, and the channels where researchers actually spend time (X, Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, Discord)

• Partner with product on the PLG motion: onboarding, activation, in-product growth loops, and a clean handoff of high-intent users to sales

Own the Field

• Build a global events calendar across regions, pairing flagship conferences with the regional AI and research events that matter in each market
