About the Company

Haiqu is a quantum software company developing a new application execution stack for all modalities of near-term quantum computers. Their software holds industry scale records for data loading, computational fluid dynamics, deep simulation, and noise-resilient QML.

Haiqu has raised $15M and operates as a 26-person team out of New York, working directly with major enterprise partners on the first widely adopted quantum software product.

"You''ll join a world-class team backed by top investors working on the first widely adopted quantum software product. This isn''t incremental tech — you''re positioning an entirely new computing paradigm that enterprise pilots are already using."

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Product Marketing Lead with 5+ years of experience to position the first widely adopted quantum software product. You are a creative storyteller who can translate highly technical concepts into sticky messages and intuitive value propositions.

• Translate proprietary, highly technical concepts into clear benefits and value propositions for enterprise and developer personas
• Craft high-quality technical content, including white papers, case studies, and social media content across platforms like LinkedIn and X
• Define and execute multi-channel marketing campaigns to attract enterprise leads, community developers, and researchers
• Grow Haiqu''s developer and researcher community through events, technical workshops, webinars, and partnerships

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in product marketing for deep-tech or scientific software products
• Ran multi-channel marketing campaigns solo or in a small team
• Managed a content roadmap and editorial calendar
• High-ownership mindset, comfortable building structure from scratch
• Marketed deep-tech products to developers or researchers
• Portfolio with long- and short-form technical content
