Head of Marketing

Summary

Join Doist as the Head of Marketing and lead a team of marketers, developing and executing integrated marketing strategies across various channels. You will be responsible for crafting a strategic vision, managing the marketing budget, and collaborating with other departments. This role requires extensive experience in senior marketing leadership, managing multiple teams and budgets, and a proven track record of success. Doist offers a fully remote, flexible work environment with competitive pay and numerous benefits, including generous paid time off, parental leave, and professional development opportunities.

Requirements

• Extensive experience at Senior Marketing Leadership level
• Extensive knowledge and experience in managing multiple teams, budgets and stakeholders
• Proven track record of developing integrated marketing strategies across content, product, and community channels, with demonstrable success in driving user acquisition and engagement
• Innately ambitious and motivated by high-impact work and finding creative solutions to make that work happen
• Resourceful – Doist isn’t funded by VCs and our marketing budget is nothing near astronomical. Working within these financial limits should excite you, rather than deter you
• A natural communicator who quickly adapts to Doist’s transparent and primarily text-based culture, and is able to convey complex ideas clearly, simply, and conversationally
• Creative – you have a knack for uncovering fresh angles and unexpected approaches that help brands stand out. You think beyond standard marketing playbooks while maintaining the pragmatism needed to execute within constraints
• A self-starter and can proactively guide your team, take ownership, and remain accountable with little or no direction
• Both nurturing and direct. You hold your team to very high standards while genuinely caring about their personal growth and development. You want to see them excel both in and outside the workplace
• A teamplayer. Marketing is one of teams that collaborates most with other departments. You must be willing to advocate for your teammates while building very close relationships and alignment with Doisters of all disciplines
• Excited by Doist’s mission to empower people with simple yet powerful tools. You’re moved by our vision to build a trustworthy, human, and affirming brand
• Not afraid of ambiguity. You are great at planning ahead but are also pragmatic and able to quickly change course without getting flustered if new information arises
• Committed to continuous learning and professional growth. As the Head of Marketing, you will not be “just a manager.” You’ll always have opportunities to sharpen your existing skills and learn new ones

Responsibilities

• Guide and mentor a team of marketers with diverse talents, foster their professional development, and cultivate a culture of innovation, creativity, and continuous learning
• Develop a strategic vision about where our branding and marketing can have the greatest business impact and create an environment that will allow the team to bring that impact to fruition
• Collaborate with Doist Heads and Marketing teammates to plan, scope, and execute exceptional quality work at high speed across various channels, ensuring seamless alignment across all functions
• Develop and manage the annual marketing budget, allocating resources across channels, analyzing spend/ROI for optimization, and forecasting expenditures per financial goals
• Combine your knowledge of market trends, competitive landscapes, and various data sources to communicate key findings to the Leadership team and drive informed and strategic decisions
• Remain on the vanguard of marketing technology, working to integrate technical advances like AI into our marketing stack to increase the team's efficiency and business impact
• Continue to hone your functional expertise by jumping in to collaborate on a wide variety of marketing work – from drafting emails to writing in-app copy – when needed
