As the leading AI detection platform, we empower educators, students, journalists, marketers, and writers to navigate the evolving landscape of AI-generated content.

About this role

The head of role means something at GPTZero.

GPTZero has always focused on marketing a narrative — from our first viral tweet on Twitter, to media coverage from CNN Anderson Cooper, to our growing organic TikTok motion, to the recent front page of Hacker News.

We have a Head of Machine Learning because ML is core to GPTZero. We’re hiring this role because marketing is too.

You will report directly to the CEO.

What we’re looking for

• Management experience hiring and leading a marketing team.

• 7+ years of marketing experience with a strong B2C and startup background.

• Superpowers in PR, UGC, or growth marketing, with numerical rigor to own metrics, and manage multiple user acquisition channels.

• Experience orchestrating multiple marketing disciplines (PR, social, paid, content) into a unified engine.

• Hands-on marketing leader that’s willing to pick up a shovel.

• Bonus: obsessive, and comfortable with a fast-moving, startup environment

What you’ll do

• Own and unify GPTZero's marketing function, bringing together efforts across PR, paid acquisition, social/UGC, content, and brand into one cohesive strategy

• Drive and define brand marketing, shaping how GPTZero shows up in the world and what we stand for.

• Lead PR and comms efforts which should result in securing conference speaking slots, podcast appearances, and turning media moments into cross-channel amplification.

• Be a player-coach. Roll up your sleeves on high-leverage work while coordinating with team members across growth, content, and exec comms.

• Be the glue. When something hits, you're coordinating the cross-channel push across LinkedIn, TikTok, email, and beyond
