Head of Marketing

Job Description 

ATX Defense is seeking a Head of Marketing to own the company's end-to-end marketing strategy. This role carries both strategic and operational responsibility. You will define the programs, shape the team and build the infrastructure that drives the pipeline and positions ATX Defense for continued growth.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. You will set the direction and also work alongside the team to get things done. As the manager of a lean function, you are not handing work off, you are actively contributing while building the capabilities and processes that allow the team to scale. You will manage and develop the growing marketing team, own the relationship with executive leadership and serve as the primary driver of how ATX Defense shows up in the market. For the right person, there is room to grow within the organization.

About Us 

ATX Defense is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) founded by Army combat veterans with experience at NSA, CIA, DIU, and the Pentagon. We’ve been operators, assessors, and engineers inside the wire. From cyber compliance to digital transformation, we don’t just know the technical terrain — we’ve helped shape it.

With deep expertise, a moral backbone, and a streak of rebellious grit, we reengineer entrenched, broken systems that hold national security back, so progress isn’t strangled by legacy thinking.

We’re scaling at rocket speed, and we need builders, not passengers. If that sounds like your kind of team, read on.
