VP of Marketing

About SentSent is an infrastructure for sending A2P messages across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS through a single unified API. Our intelligent routing model automates channel selection based on deliverability and cost, ensuring lower cost and global reach without any channel-specific integrations.We recently closed a $12M Series A backed by Companyon Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, UIF, and others. We're hiring to build the best infrastructure to replace multi-channel messaging stacks. The Role We're hiring our first VP of Marketing - someone who has built and led demand-focused marketing for a technical product, knows the developer ecosystem from the inside, and has the range to operate across self-serve growth and enterprise pipeline in the same week. You'll report directly to the CEO and own marketing end to end. That means inheriting a growing base of developer users and building the motion that turns it into a real revenue engine - both expanding what's already working on the self-serve side and standing up the enterprise layer on top of it. This is a builder role as much as a leadership role. You'll be hiring a team, but you'll also be in the weeds. What You'll Own Demand generation and pipeline Own the full funnel from awareness to pipeline - paid, SEO, lifecycle, content, events, and partnerships Build the measurement infrastructure to know, down to the dollar, what a qualified lead costs and which channels are producing real pipeline Direct a high-velocity experimentation cadence: hypotheses, tests, honest reads on results, and quick decisions on what to scale The enterprise motion Architect the marketing foundation that supports a sales-led motion layered on top of self-serve - account-based plays, outbound support, case studies, analyst relations, and the content that moves enterprise buyers Partner closely with sales on lead scoring, handoff criteria, and targeted account plays for larger logos Build the positioning and materials that make Sent legible to an enterprise buyer without alienating the developer who found it on their own Developer marketing Own how Sent shows up in the developer ecosystem - the channels, communities, and publications that technical buyers actually trust Know which channels are worth owning (Hacker News, X, newsletters, podcasts, GitHub) and build repeatable acquisition loops around them Brand and positioning Define and sharpen how Sent is positioned as the market evolves - against incumbents, against point solutions, and as new channels come online Ensure every surface Sent touches - docs, landing pages, campaigns, sales decks - reflects a consistent, credible point of view What You Bring 7+ years in marketing, with meaningful time in demand generation or growth at a developer-first, API, or infrastructure company You've taken a technical product upmarket - you know what it takes to build an enterprise motion on top of a self-serve base and you've done it before You've carried a pipeline number and hit it, and you can show exactly which bets got you there You're comfortable in the developer ecosystem - you understand how these communities behave, what earns credibility, and what gets ignored Technical enough to hold your own: you've worked with APIs, you understand how developers think, and you don't need things translated for you You've built and led small, high-output marketing teams and know how to hire people better than you in their discipline Strong instincts on both the quantitative side (CAC, payback, conversion rates) and the qualitative side (positioning, narrative, brand) Experience with messaging, telecom, or API infrastructure is a strong plus Our Commitment to You Meaningful equity with high growth potential Top-tier medical, dental, and vision, fully covered 401(k) with 100% match up to 4% Unlimited PTO Beautiful NYC workspace with daily meals and unlimited snacks New MacBook Pro + Apple Studio Display Wellhub Gold or Equinox membership stipend Sent, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
