Senior Director of Marketing

Port Pro is an AI-led operating system built for drayage. We power trucking companies that move containers in and out of America’s ports, a mission-critical often overlooked corner of the supply chain. We’re an AI-enhanced, hypergrowth SaaS company rapidly scaling.

We’ve hit the inflection point where the right marketing leader will help us turn category awareness into category leadership. If you love rolling up your sleeves, building the plane while flying it, and translating a versatile product into messaging that lands, keep reading.

We’re hiring a Senior Director of Marketing to own our marketing strategy and execution. This is not a sit-back-and-strategize role. You’ll be a player-coach who can write the messaging, ship the campaign, brief the agency, and report on the pipeline, sometimes all in the same week. You’ll partner closely with our SVP of Sales, CEO, and Product team to drive demand, sharpen positioning, and tell Port Pro’s story to a fast-growing audience of drayage operators.

You’ll be empowered to build out the function as we scale. Notably, right now we need someone who can do the work, not just manage it.

• Own and execute Port Pro’s end-to-end marketing strategy across product marketing, demand generation, content, brand, and field/event marketing.
• Lead product marketing: positioning, messaging, launches, sales enablement, competitive intelligence, and customer storytelling for a category-defining product.
• Drive demand generation programs (paid, SEO, lifecycle, ABM, partner, and event-led) that produce qualified pipeline and measurable revenue impact.
• Partner with Sales to build a tight, accountable feedback loop on ICP, message-market fit, conversion rates, and pipeline velocity.
• Translate a technical, AI-enhanced platform into clear, compelling stories for drayage operators including owners, dispatchers, and operations leaders who don’t have time for jargon.
• Build, run, and report on a marketing budget with discipline. Know your CAC, payback, pipeline coverage, and source-of-pipeline numbers cold.
• Hire and coach a small, high-leverage team over time starting by being hands-on yourself.
• Represent Port Pro at industry events, on webinars, and in customer conversations. You’ll be a voice of the brand, not just the strategist behind it.

We’re looking for a marketer on the rise, someone with a clear track record of progression, but still very much in the doer-leader phase of their career. Specifically:

• Proven progression, not just a senior title. You’ve grown from individual contributor to manager to leader, and your résumé shows it. You’re hungry for the next step, not coasting on the last one.
• Scrappy and hands-on. You’ve worked at startups or lean teams (think seed through Series B/C) where you wrote the email, built the landing page, briefed the designer, and pulled the report yourself. You don’t wait for headcount to make things happen.
• Marketing all the way through. Your career has a consistent marketing thread ideally weighted toward product marketing and demand generation. You can talk positioning frameworks and pipeline math with equal fluency.
• Product marketing chops. You’ve led launches, built ICP and persona work that sales used, and crafted messaging that moved win rates.
• Demand gen operator. You’ve owned a full funnel number including MQLs, SQLs, pipeline, or sourced revenue and hit it. You know which channels work for B2B SaaS and which are vanity.
• Domain edge (a strong plus). Experience in logistics, drayage, freight tech, supply chain SaaS, or at an AI-native B2B company. If you’ve marketed to operators of physical businesses, you understand our buyer.
• Excellent writer and storyteller. You can take a complex AI-enabled…
