Senior Director, Strategic Marketing

Core Story is transforming how enterprises understand, modernize, and evolve software.

Our AI-powered platform analyzes millions of lines of source code and automatically generates the specifications, architecture, workflows, documentation, and business context that engineering teams need to modernize applications with confidence. By turning legacy code into structured intelligence, Core Story enables organizations to accelerate modernization, reduce technical debt, and unlock AI-assisted software development.

We’re building a new category at the intersection of AI, software engineering, and enterprise modernization—and we’re looking for someone who wants to help define it.

We’re looking for a highly strategic marketer who is equally comfortable shaping executive messaging, briefing industry analysts, supporting enterprise sales, and creating the content that moves the business forward.

This is not a traditional marketing role focused on campaigns or demand generation.

This role offers a unique opportunity to help define an emerging category while working alongside experienced founders, enterprise customers, and industry leaders. You’ll have a direct impact on company strategy, product direction, and market perception—and the opportunity to grow alongside the business.

Success in this role requires someone who enjoys both thinking strategically and executing personally. You’ll be expected to create, influence, and deliver—not simply manage.

• Partner with executive leadership to refine Core Story’s positioning, messaging, and category strategy and ensure our messaging evolves alongside the rapidly changing AI software landscape.
• Monitor competitive, technology, and market trends to help shape company strategy.
