Marketing & Comms Lead — Brand & Ecosystem

The Studio is part of Utopia Capital’s integrated venture platform — combining AI-native venture building, capital, and shared infrastructure to help founders build faster and smarter. Every role here directly contributes to launching and scaling AI-native companies across the Global South, from idea to Series A.

The Studio is an AI-native venture builder for the Global South, purpose-built to transform high-barrier problems into scalable, investable companies.

Partnering with domain experts & high-agency founders from concept to Series A, it both builds new ventures and re-engineers existing ones for AI-driven growth.

Powered by UTOPIA OS — a modular, adaptive stack tailored to each venture — it compresses the path from concept to Series A to under 24 months.

We're hiring a Marketing & Communications Lead to own the Studio's brand narrative and ecosystem presence — across content, communications, events, and storytelling.

You'll define how Utopia Studio and the broader platform show up in the world — from founder stories and media coverage to ecosystem partnerships and events. You're part brand architect, part storyteller, and part community builder.

This is a strategic and hands‑on role. You'll focus on what’s essential to build credibility and visibility while working with trusted agencies and freelancers for PR, design, and production.
