Head of Marketing

**You'll own a $1.5–2M growth budget and an existing content engine. Your job is to turn that into a scalable, repeatable revenue machine.** Anvil is building the platform layer for Physical AI — robotics hardware and software that's radically more accessible than legacy industrial solutions. The growth story here is the kind marketers usually have to invent: we started on a $1M pre-seed, were shipping hardware to NVIDIA and Cobot within months, and closed our full seed six months later — $7M raised in total. In our first 12 months we did over $2.1M in revenue at 40–50% gross margins, and we reinvest that margin directly into growth. The product-market fit signals are specific and unusually strong. Founders buy us themselves — the CEO of Formic, the CTO of The Bot Company, the CEO of Zordi, and the co-founders of Flexion, Senra, and Haply all placed orders personally. The researchers who define robot learning buy us on their own cards. When YC funds a robotics company, buying Anvil has become the default first step, and ITRI — Taiwan's national research institute — has come back six separate times. Demand runs from F100 (NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Toyota, Google) to pre-seed, across 60+ countries, with no single account the business depends on. And all of it happened with founders doing marketing part-time. We're not asking you to bootstrap a growth function from nothing, and you won't have to manufacture a story — the logos, the repeat buyers, and the customer content already exist, and gross margin is your budget. We're asking you to take real capital, real traction, and real assets and scale them intelligently — fast. **The situation you're walking into:** - Average order value is ~$13,000. This is not an impulse purchase — but our price point is dramatically lower than legacy robotics competitors, low enough that most of our customers buy without a formal PO or procurement cycle. That's a structural advantage. We need someone who understands exactly why that matters and builds the funnel around it. - We already have a strong content production engine — video, written, and a growing library of user-generated content from real customers running our robots. You won't be building this from scratch. You'll be directing it, deciding what gets made and where it goes. - Gross margin is your growth budget. We treat marketing spend — paid ads, swag, gifting, events — as a lever to pull harder as revenue grows, not a cost to minimize. If you can show us the funnel math works, we will fund you well beyond a typical seed-stage marketing budget. **What you'll own:** - Full go-to-market: LinkedIn, X, Email, and Google Ads, run as one system feeding one pipeline — not disconnected channels - Funnel construction and instrumentation: mapping awareness → consideration → close with real conversion data, understanding where our no-PO, high-ACV buying motion breaks from typical B2B assumptions - Capital allocation: deploying a growth budget in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per quarter, deciding the mix across paid media, content production, events, and gifting/swag, and proving out what's working - Content direction: you won't need to pick up a camera yourself, but you will decide what stories get told, what gets filmed, how customer UGC gets sourced and used, and how it gets distributed across channels - Team: you may bring on 1–2 contractors or part-time specialists to support execution as winning motions emerge, but the majority of your time and budget goes toward directly driving traffic, demand, and sales — not building an org chart **What the first 100 days look like:** - By day 30: every channel and asset is instrumented and tracked — you have a real baseline, not vibes. - By day 60: you've formed hypotheses on which channels will work for us and have live experiments running against them, with data coming back. - By day 100: you're already contributing measurably to pipeline, and you deeply understand our customer — how they decide, wher…
