Head of Marketing

Overview

At Blacksmith, we provide cloud infra to help companies run their CI (Git Hub Actions) substantially faster and cheaper. Our mission is to build a CI cloud. Our bet is that CI, as a class of workloads, is ready to be unbundled from the hyperscaler clouds (AWS/GCP/Azure). This is a bold statement, and we have an ambitious roadmap ahead.

• Product Marketing
  • Translate complex technical features into clear customer value.
  • Build collateral (case studies, decks, one-pagers) that help prospects and customers understand why they should choose Blacksmith.
  • Drive customer education through docs, email campaigns, and onboarding guides.
• Growth & Demand Generation
  • Define and track core growth
    ***** weekly inbound leads, pipeline created, and conversion rates.

• Brand & Content
  • Carry forward a high bar for quality, creativity, and personality in our brand.
