About the Company
Our client is building the AI platform that's redefining how the world's most regulated companies handle regulatory change. Banks, insurers, and tech companies use their platform to monitor new regulations, pinpoint compliance gaps, and drive every required update to completion — replacing a world of scattered alerts and spreadsheets with one clear system of record.
The results speak for themselves: compliance leaders say they now run nearly their entire job through their platform. They have the right product-market fit. Now they are building the brand and go-to-market motion to match.
Backed by top-tier investors, they have the capital, real conviction, and a team that's been there before. Come on board and join a small, tight-knit crew based in Chicago who genuinely like building together!
About the Role
This is a rare one: the chance to be the first marketing hire at a company with a product that customers already love and a category that is still taking shape. You won't be optimizing someone else's playbook — you'll be writing it.
You'll own marketing end-to-end, work shoulder-to-shoulder with the sales and product teams, and be the person who decides how the market comes to know the company. What you build in year one becomes the foundation everything else is built on.
You'll get to:
Build a world-class enterprise brand — define their voice, visual identity, and the bar for what "great" looks like for an enterprise AI company in a highly regulated space, starting with making their website a true sales asset
Get them into the industry conversation — build relationships with press, analysts, and market influencers; publish original research and thought leadership that makes our client a credible voice in a category they're helping define
Run high-leverage campaigns that matter — identify and execute the 8–12 events, launches, and executive programs a year that actually move the needle, from webinars to in-person briefings
Make the messaging impossible to ignore — translate complex, technical product value into crisp narratives for legal, compliance, and risk leaders, and own positioning and ICP definition across the funnel
Own the number — you'll have a real pipeline goal (MQLs/opportunities) and the strategic campaigns to deliver it, not just brand awareness for its own sake
Move at AI speed — use AI as a core part of how you personally operate, so you can do more with less
This is a true 0-to-1, founding role. Some days you'll be setting brand strategy; other days you'll be running event logistics or writing a sales email yourself. If you love building something from nothing and want ownership over how a category gets defined, this is your seat.
