Head of Marketing

AI is only as powerful as the tools it can access. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as the standard for connecting AI to tools & systems—but enterprises can’t adopt it safely without security, observability, and control. That’s where we come in.

At Runlayer, we're building the AI enablement layer for modern enterprises. Our platform enables organizations to safely connect agents to their systems through MCP, with the security, auditability, and management enterprises demand. We’re a well-funded early-stage team that built Zapier's AI platform.

As our Head of Marketing, you’ll take ownership of building and scaling our GTM engine from the ground up.

Why You’ll Thrive Here

• Impact: Define our brand and tell our story to the world, directly influencing the trajectory of Runlayer.

• Excellence: Work closely with founders and experienced leaders, learning from the intersection of AI, product, and go-to-market strategy.

• Ownership: Lead the marketing function end-to-end, from strategy through execution—owning our narrative in the AI landscape.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and execute the full marketing strategy—including positioning, messaging, and campaigns—that distinguishes Runlayer in a competitive market.

• Build a strong, credible brand across all channels: web, social, events, and media.

• Own key growth levers such as content, product marketing, community, demand generation, and PR.

• Collaborate with sales and product to align go-to-market motions and maximize market impact.

• Iterate on strategies based on data and feedback; rapidly test channels and tactics to find what works.

• Headline our presence at industry events, conferences, and community engagements.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in marketing roles at fast-growing B2B SaaS, infra, or AI companies, with a proven record of delivering results.

• Experience building and executing multi-channel marketing programs from scratch, ideally in early-stage environments.

• Exceptional written, verbal, and visual storytelling skills; comfortable producing standout content and compelling pitches.

• Strong understanding of growth marketing, product launches, and community-led strategies.

• Data-driven mindset; able to measure what matters, iterate fast, and optimize for impact.

• Demonstrated leadership ability—can operate as a team of one or scale up as needed.

Bonus Qualifications

• Background in developer-focused or AI/ML products.

• Track record of successfully launching and growing new products or brand initiatives.

• Experience building communities or running high-impact events and campaigns.
