Head of Marketing

Government’s biggest challenges — homelessness, election administration, emergency response — don’t get solved inside a single agency. Work happens across dozens of organizations that often struggle to coordinate, share information, and act in real time.

Civic Roundtable is an AI-powered government operations platform that helps public servants do exactly that. We give wide networks of agencies and partner organizations the tools to consolidate information, coordinate mission‑critical work, and move faster together so the people on the front lines of public problems have what they need to serve their communities.

Trusted by thousands of organizations across all 50 states, Civic Roundtable emerged from the Harvard Innovation Labs and is backed by General Catalyst.

We’re looking for a Head of Marketing to lead the marketing function for Civic Roundtable’s next stage of growth.

You’ll set the strategy across brand, positioning, product marketing, growth, and field marketing, while building on a strong foundation already in place. You’ll lead a lean team that includes a growth marketer who owns demand generation and field marketing and a marketing designer, and work directly with our founders, Sales, Product, and customer‑facing teams.

This is a hands‑on leadership role. We’re looking for someone who can set direction, help the team do its best work, and jump in where they can add the most leverage — whether that’s sharpening our positioning, developing a major campaign, shaping our event strategy, supporting a strategic deal, or helping us understand what’s actually creating pipeline.

You’ll report directly to the CEO and be the senior marketing voice on the leadership team. This role can be remote, with a preference for candidates based in Boston or New York.

• Own our brand and positioning — Turn a complex product and emerging category into a simple, compelling story about what Civic Roundtable is, why it matters, and why now.

• Turn customer and product momentum into great marketing — Translate customer stories, product launches, and proof points into campaigns, content, thought leadership, and sales materials.

• Set our growth strategy — Partner closely with our growth marketer to identify the audiences, channels, campaigns, and investments most likely to create qualified pipeline, and help connect what we learn back to company and GTM strategy.

• Build a differentiated field strategy — Work with our growth marketer and sales team to make conferences, round tables, dinners, partnerships, and other in‑person moments a powerful part of how we build relationships and grow accounts.

• Make marketing a true partner to sales — Work closely with our sales team on strategic accounts, messaging, enablement, and campaigns that help us open, close, and expand government relationships.

• Build our category and voice — Use thought leadership, PR, partnerships, and creative campaigns to establish Civic Roundtable as a defining voice in modern government operations and AI.

• Lead and grow the marketing team — Set clear priorities, coach and develop the team, create the conditions for great work, and determine where we should invest as the company scales.

• 8+ years in marketing at high‑growth companies — You’ve helped build marketing at an early‑ or growth‑stage B2B software company and understand what it takes to scale a marketing function as the company grows.

• Exceptional brand and positioning instincts — You can take something complicated and make it feel obvious, differentiated, and memorable. You know how to sharpen a company story as the product and market evolve.

• Strong product marketing and storytelling skills — You know how to get close…
