Head of Marketing / Marketing Lead

About ai-coustics

Voice is rapidly becoming the dominant interface for technology, enabling natural language control over devices, services, and applications. However, current voice interactions lack the complex human ability to understand nuanced audio environments, such as distinguishing multiple voices and focusing on a main speaker. ai-coustics is addressing this by developing an advanced audio intelligence layer and developer tools to enhance agent robustness and enable sophisticated Physical AI applications globally. Our technology supports Voice AI companies like PolyAI, LiveKit, and AssemblyAI powering thousands of agents processing millions of hours monthly. Backed by prominent early-stage investors and industry experts, we emphasize ownership, systemic thinking, and solving real-world challenges collaboratively.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Head of Marketing to build and lead ai-coustics' comprehensive marketing efforts as we pioneer a new category in Voice AI infrastructure. Reporting directly to the CEO and collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, and Sales teams, this leadership role involves establishing strategic direction, team building, and executing initiatives that position ai-coustics as the essential reliability layer for Voice AI creators worldwide. Responsibilities include owning brand positioning, demand generation, product and developer marketing, content creation, and translating complex AI capabilities into compelling technical narratives for developers, buyers, and executives.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and own the category narrative that establishes ai-coustics as the preferred choice for Voice AI projects.
• Design, execute, and optimize B2B demand generation pipelines including target setting and funnel analytics.
• Lead product marketing activities such as launches, competitive positioning, and sales enablement.
• Drive developer marketing through content, community engagement, and ecosystem presence.
• Create technically credible content including blogs, guides, case studies, videos, and thought leadership.
• Manage brand-building efforts involving events, PR, analyst relations, and executive thought leadership.
• Leverage AI tools to automate and optimize marketing workflows.
• Build and manage the marketing team and budget, including agency oversight.

Candidate Requirements

• Minimum 4 years of growth or performance marketing experience with real ownership over budgets and measurable outcomes, preferably including early-stage company or startup environments.
• Analytical approach to decision-making with strong emphasis on experimentation and data transparency.
• Proven ability to lead and expand teams while actively contributing to hands-on marketing execution.
• Deep understanding of how developers find and adopt technical tools with experience in building effective content and community programs for this audience.
• Ability to rapidly learn new marketing channels, concepts, and tools and maintain awareness of successful tactics.
• Expertise in harnessing AI and automation to scale marketing activities effectively.
• Extensive experience owning the entire demand generation lifecycle and demonstrating impact on sales pipelines.
• Bonus points for experience in Voice AI, speech/audio technology, real-time communications, adjacent infrastructure, fundraising, or investor relations.

Potential Misfits

• Preference to follow predefined marketing playbooks rather than owning full strategy and execution.
• View AI tools as experimental instead of integrating them fully into daily workflows.
• Comfortable only with niche roles and not full-function leadership across strategy and team management.
• Lack of experience marketing to developers or limited insight into technical buyer behaviors.
• Dislike for extensive cross-functional collaboration.
• Inflexible remote preferences or seeking a traditional 9-to-5 job environment.

Benefits

• Chance to lead marketing at a fast-growing Voice AI startup during a formative time for the category.
• Competitive executive compensation including meaningful stock options to share in company success.
• Direct reporting to the CEO and close collaboration with executive teams shaping company strategy.
• Fast-paced, dynamic workplace with supportive and talented colleagues.
