Marketing Director
What you’ll do
We are seeking a fully remote, high-energy, strategic, and hands-on Marketing Director with a deep background in the startup ecosystem.
This is a dual-purpose role: you will lead the brand strategy for the Incubator itself, while also serving as a fractional marketing advisor for our portfolio of early-stage startups. Honed time management skills and the ability to wear multiple hats is essential.

-
Community Engagement: Strengthen OTI’s relationship with the global open-source community through strategic partnerships and digital engagement.
2. Portfolio Support (Venture Services)

Technical Literacy: Comfort speaking to technical audiences; knowledge of Python data science (NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch) or AI/ML infrastructure is a plus.
-
Multidisciplinary Skillset: You are a "T-shaped" marketer—deep in strategy but capable of executing on copy, basic design, SEO, and paid social when needed.
-
Founder Empathy: Experience working directly with technical founders and the ability to coach them through the complexities of early-stage growth.
- Data-Driven: Proficiency with CRM tools (HubSpot/Salesforce) and analytics platforms to measure and optimize marketing ROI.
