Chief Marketing Officer; CMO

Why? Because our time is limited, our competition is fierce, and our margin for error is small. To have the biggest impact on the world, we stay focused on our core mission, which is...

Empowering marketers to be creative
.

That’s why Knak exists.

In a world where AI has made everyone a creator, Knak helps marketers turn ideas into on-brand, high-performing campaigns  world's most AI-forward companies, including Meta, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Vercel, Notion and Stripe, use Knak as their agentic marketing production platform.

Here's what they and our investor Insight Partners figured out: creation got easy, but that’s making production harder. Every new idea and brief still has to be built, versioned, checked, approved, and shipped across every channel, and that work runs on handoffs, review cycles, and a lot of copy-paste. That middle stretch of the marketing stack has no system, no standard, and no owner.

Knak is the flexible factory for that work. Our customers set the brand rules, choose the tools that feed in and the platforms that send, and decide where AI does the work and where people do. We handle the repeatable parts, so marketers get their time back for the parts that aren't.

We're built by marketers, for marketers. We started with email because it's the hardest channel to get right and where many campaigns win or lose. Now we're bringing that same production discipline to every channel our customers use.

For a CMO, that's a rare seat: the chance to define a category, not just compete in one. You get to market a marketing product to marketers and collaborate with a CEO who is a Marketer himself and truly understands Marketing, brand and the value it brings.

Oh, and we have a bit of fun while doing it, too!

Knak is looking for a builder CMO to lead our next stage of growth. As a fast-growing B2B SaaS company, redefining how enterprise marketing teams produce campaigns in the AI era.

This is not a role for someone looking to inherit a finished marketing machine. We need a leader who can build the machine - someone who has created pipeline, built teams, collaborated and built strong relationships with Sales, developed brands and operated successfully through ambiguity and rapid change.

You will own Marketing end to end, with particular emphasis on pipeline creation, demand generation and company-level GTM strategy. You will also partner closely with our strong product marketing leadership, Sales, Product and Customer teams.

This is a remote friendly role - we are open to talent across the United States and Canada. Simply put, we are looking for the best!

A proven B2B SaaS marketing leader who has helped scale a company through a meaningful high-growth stage, ideally from roughly $20M toward $100M+ ARR and has done so without burning a gazillion dollars.

Deep, hands-on experience building enterprise demand generation across digital, field/events, partners and other channels — with clear accountability for pipeline and revenue.

A builder who moves quickly, experiments, makes decisions with imperfect information and can operate without everything being predefined.

The ability to go high and low: from company strategy, positioning and executive communication to product details, campaigns, launches and funnel performance.

A strong talent leader who can recruit A players, raise the performance bar and make difficult people decisions when necessary.

Strong brand and creative judgment, with the resourcefulness to find unconventional ways to win without relying on massive budgets
