Chief Marketing Officer

Location: Remote; U.S.
Reports To: Chief Executive Officer

I/ONX is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our team developed the world’s first platform to enable CPUs, GPUs, ASICs, and FPGAs to work together for AI and High Performance Compute workloads. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

Role Overview:
We’re seeking a Chief Marketing Officer to serve as a key partner to our executive and sales teams. You’ll own our external presence and communications strategy, with a sharp focus on press, media, and positioning. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a scrappy, high-trust environment and can confidently take a company with a breakthrough product and make sure the world hears about it.

This is not a figurehead role—we’re looking for someone who can shape the big picture and execute with speed and precision. You will develop our strategy and lead a team of internal and external marketing resources. We have recently emerged from stealth mode and are ready for rapid growth!

What You’ll Do:

• Own Our Public Narrative:

  • Develop and maintain a clear, compelling company narrative that differentiates us in the AI/data infrastructure space.

  • Translate technical concepts into messaging that resonates with enterprise partners, investors, and the media.

• Media & Communications:

  • Own the development, writing, and distribution of 2 -3 high-impact press releases per month across company milestones, vendor partnerships, product updates, and customer wins.

  • Pitch stories directly to journalists and editors in the tech, infrastructure, and AI ecosystems.

  • Build and maintain a press calendar and coordinate announcement timing with internal stakeholders.

  • Position the company as a pioneering leader through consistent, compelling storytelling.

• Messaging & Positioning:

  • Craft and refine our core messaging, ensuring it resonates with technical buyers, enterprise partners, and investors.

  • Translate complex technical concepts into simple, strategic narratives that highlight our unique value.

  • Support sales and executive teams with pitch materials, investor decks, and outbound messaging frameworks.

  • Confidently sell our vision and story to the largest technology companies in the world.

• Industry Awareness & Event Strategy:

  • Identify high-impact conferences and industry events (e.g. AI4, CES, OCP, SC, etc.) where we should have a presence.

  • Coordinate speaking opportunities, networking strategies, and sponsorships where relevant.

  • Build a lightweight event strategy and manage presence planning end-to-end.

Hands-On Execution:

• Serve as the single point of marketing leadership—both strategist and doer.

• Engage and manage freelancers or vendors as needed, while personally driving core deliverables.

• Work closely with the sales and executive teams to align marketing outputs with revenue and fundraising goals.

• Measurement & Reporting:

  • Track marketing performance, media placements, and content engagement.

  • Share regular insights and results with executive leadership.

  • Iterate on strategy based on performance data and market feedback.

Who You Are:

• A senior marketing leader with 10+ years of experience, including fractional or advisory roles in early-stage B2B or deep tech startups.

• Skilled in press strategy, media pitching, and securing consistent coverage with top-tier and industry outlets.

• Familiar with AI, infrastructure, or data center markets—or a fast learner with strong technical acumen.

• Not above the work—just as comfortable writing copy as setting strategic direction in an executive meeting.

• Able to simplify and articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively.

• Well-connected in the tech and media landscape, with a strong network of relevant contacts.

• Comfortable operating independently and proactively in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
