Marketing Lead (Developers)

At Trunk, our mission is to help teams create high-quality software quickly. AI has made writing code 10x faster, but shipping is still painfully slow. The bottleneck has shifted downstream - to merge conflicts, flaky tests, inconsistent code quality, and dozens of other frictions that drain productivity and morale. Engineering teams that can stay focused on designing, implementing, and delivering software will build magical, high-quality projects - and they'll be happier doing it. We're building a CI Reliability Platform that empowers teams to land code faster and develop happier.

Our founders launched Trunk in 2021 after designing, delivering, and scaling software at Uber, Google, YouTube, and Microsoft. We raised a $25M Series A led by Initialized Capital (Garry Tan) and a16z (Peter Levine), with investments from Haystack Ventures, Garage VC, and the founders of GitHub (Tom Preston-Werner), Apollo GraphQL (Geoff Schmidt), Algolia (Nicolas Dessaigne), and Peopl.ai (Oleg Rogynsky).

We're looking for a marketing aficionado who thrives in the creative chaos of early-stage startups. You've built pipelines at a tech company before and loved the variety - producing customer success stories one day, coordinating events the next, rolling out ad campaigns the day after. As our sole marketing hire, you'll have the freedom to own the entire marketing function. If you're energized by the challenge of making developers care about tooling to increase their productivity and get a kick out of seeing your work directly move the revenue needle, this role is for you.

What you’ll do 🧑💻

• Own the marketing strategy and execution - Design and run campaigns across both bottom-up (developer-led, community) and top-down (enterprise ABM, executive messaging) motions. Drive pipeline from first touch through enterprise adoption.
• Build enterprise demand generation - Execute campaigns targeting large engineering orgs, create executive-level positioning for Directors / VPs / CTOs, and enable Sales with competitive intel, messaging, and materials that close deals.
• Create technical content that converts - Write and coordinate blogs, case studies, comparison pages, and documentation that educates developers and drives inbound traffic. Partner with DevRel and Product to tell authentic technical stories.
• Optimize paid and organic acquisition - Own the full funnel from awareness to SQL. Manage community sponsorships, paid campaigns, SEO, content distribution, and events. Set up attribution and kill what doesn’t work.
• Launch products and be the cross-functional hub - Own GTM for new releases. Work embedded with DevRel, Product, Engineering, and Sales to amplify technical content, shape roadmap with market insights, and build systems that make the whole company better at marketing.
