Founding Brand Marketer

About the role

We’re hiring our first dedicated Brand Marketer – there’s no playbook yet, and you’ll be the one writing it. You’ll own how Prelude presents itself to the world – brand voice, social presence, content, events and PR – turning curious developers and founders into customers. The role is hands‑on, highly autonomous and works directly with the founders while partnering with engineering, design and sales.

Key responsibilities

• Define Prelude’s positioning, messaging and tone of voice, creating a clear brand identity.
• Manage and grow the company’s voice across LinkedIn, X, Hacker News and other developer‑focused platforms.
• Transform product launches, customer wins and industry moments into on‑brand social posts and maintain a consistent content calendar.
• Run weekly experiments (posts, threads, replies, comments) and iterate based on performance.
• Collaborate with design to produce website assets, decks, ads and swag.
• Pitch Prelude as a speaker at priority events, secure media coverage and engage newsletters and influencers.
• Design and execute an end‑to‑end events strategy, including founder dinners, hackathons and developer conferences, tracking ROI.
• Set commercial goals with the founders, report weekly and apply a commercial mindset to all channel decisions.
• Leverage AI tools to scale content creation, editing and asset generation.

Required profile

• Proven experience in brand, growth or content marketing, preferably in B2B SaaS.
• Strong writing instincts for short‑form social, long‑form editorial, email and event copy.
• Experience managing budgets and owning media relationships, representing the company publicly.
• Track record of planning and delivering memorable events.
• Genuine interest in developer‑first products and ability to speak credibly to engineers and founders.
• Operator mindset with the ability to get things done autonomously.
• Confidence using AI tools to increase output.
• Enthusiasm to learn about security, authentication and infrastructure.
• Portfolio demonstrating growth of social accounts, successful events or brand initiatives.
