Job Overview:

Octane AI is developing conversational AI technologies that reimagines online commerce. Publicly, Octane AI is the leading Facebook Messenger & SMS marketing platform for Shopify and Shopify Plus brands. Octane AI provides a unified platform for connecting, converting, and retaining customers. Octane AI’s current and upcoming products democratize personalization and automation technologies previously only available to multi-billion dollar corporations.

The Head of Marketing will be tasked with leading all marketing efforts, including performance, product, and brand marketing. This person will lead and grow our marketing team. Octane AI is looking for someone who is excited to get their hands dirty (we are a startup, after all). Deep experience in SaaS marketing, lead generation, funnel optimization, content marketing, demand generation, PR, branding, and other key marketing areas is a must.

You will work closely with our product-focused CEO Matt Schlicht (led product at Ustream, where he pioneered live video; created viral products for the entertainment industry; Forbes 30 Under 30) and our marketing-focused President Ben Parr (former Co-editor of Mashable, author of Captivology: The Science of Capturing People’s Attention, Forbes 30 Under 30) on all aspects of marketing. You will be a part of our leadership team and will be expected to make projections, set targets, and achieve or exceed them.

We believe the happier you are, the more productive you and the team are. Being a remote company allows us to work from wherever we’d prefer. Spend your evenings and weekends with your family/friends/hobbies.

– We hate bureaucracy. Feel free to talk to anyone on the team.

– Your ideas are welcome. If you know how to improve our workflow, our product, our processes, don’t be shy to share it.

– In our weekly meetings, we do a fun thing called “fast parrot”. Everybody, including the CEO, is involved. It’s a little weird and fun at the same time, especially if you are doing a meeting from a public place.

– We iterate quickly. Projects generally take days or weeks, not months. We have a collaborative environment where you can share a work in progress and get feedback quickly. We like to get something in the hands of customer and get their feedback as quickly as possible.

– Don’t work if you are sick. It’s way better to rest and recover quicker than work at half power for a long time.

– If you feel you are stuck with a task don’t hesitate to ask for help. There are no stupid questions and nobody expects you to know everything.
