Marketing Lead, Content

### About Sumble Sumble helps go-to-market teams win with deep account intelligence and signals that other data vendors simply can't provide. We map every account, person, and job post globally to uncover insights that were previously impossible to gather. For example, we can identify every company in the US currently running a data migration project involving Databricks, while pinpointing the exact team and person leading the initiative. Backed by a $38.5M Series A (Coatue, Canaan), our team includes engineers and sales leaders from companies like Google, Meta, and Snowflake. We've scaled to millions in revenue without a marketing department. Now, we're building the marketing function to match the product, and you'll be a foundational hire on that team, reporting directly to our Head of Marketing. ### About the role We're hiring a Marketing Lead to own the substance of how Sumble shows up in the world: the strategic narrative, the editorial voice, the assets that ship, and the social presence that compounds. This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports, and we're hiring it that way intentionally. You'll have full strategic ownership, stakeholder authority, and a real budget for tools and external resources. You'll define what Sumble sounds like, how we tell our story, and what we put into the world across every format that matters: long-form content, organic social, founder-voice posts, ad creative, sales enablement, brand. Modern AI tooling and a tight roster of external specialists have changed what an experienced content leader can ship without a team, and we expect you to operate that way, not as a novelty, but as the core operating model for the role. ### Our team We are a team of engineers, data scientists, and designers with experience at companies such as Google, Stack Overflow, Kaggle, and Meta. Our sales team comes from companies like Snowflake, 11x, Confluent, and Opendoor. We're based in San Francisco and operate remote-friendly across US time zones. ### What you'll own ### Brand tone and editorial voice - Define what Sumble sounds like. We want a distinct, casual, and direct brand voice. You own what that means in practice and the editorial standards that enforce it. - Build the voice guide, tone do's and don'ts, and stylistic conventions that scale across every channel and every contributor, internal and external. - Set the editorial bar. Decide what we publish, what we kill, and what we sharpen before it goes out. ### Strategic narrative - Develop and own Sumble's strategic narrative: the through-line story about why GTM data is broken, what we built, and what becomes possible when teams have signals no one else can produce. - Partner with the founders and Head of Marketing to evolve the narrative as the company and market evolve, and translate it into the artifacts that put it into the world: essays, decks, talks, and ads. - Run the narrative loop with sales. The story you write should be the story they pitch, and what they hear back from the market should shape what you write next. ### Social and organic LinkedIn - Own Sumble's organic social presence, with LinkedIn as the primary surface. Set the editorial calendar, write the posts, and shape the cadence that earns attention without leaning on paid amplification. - Ghost-write for founders, execs, and key team members to activate them as part of the social motion. Make their voices distinct, consistent, and visible. - Engage with the thought leaders our buyers already follow: guest appearances, joint content, surfacing Sumble in the conversations that matter. - Treat social as a system: content pillars, distribution loops, measurement, iteration. Not "whenever we have something to say," but a real editorial calendar that compounds. ### Long-form and short-form content - Swing comfortably across formats: essays and market analyses on the long end, social posts and ad copy on the short end, with everything in between.
