We are looking for a senior marketing leader - someone with deep industry experience, genuine creative taste, and the operational discipline to run a high-performing business function. Someone who becomes a true business partner to the founder: raising the bar on what we already do well, keeping everything tightly connected to what actually matters for the business, and building the automation infrastructure that lets us move faster without adding noise.

We are looking for someone who lives and breathes automation. A systems operator. Someone who sees inefficiency and removes it. Who builds infrastructure instead of adding headcount. Who leverages AI, workflows, and data to create leverage at scale.

This is a high-expectation role for a high-output leader. If you think in terms of systems, performance, and compounding advantage, you'll thrive here.

Key Responsibilities:

Social Media Oversight & Production Alignment:

We have a social media team. What we don't always have is tight connective tissue between what they publish and what's actually happening across the business. That's what this role fixes.

Ensure social content reflects real production capacity and upcoming milestones
Own the connection between production updates and what goes public, nothing falls through the gap
Coordinate directly with clients on material approvals and IP permissions
Enforce a zero-tolerance standard on publishing anything not properly cleared
Keep sales informed and ensure marketing is actively supporting capacity visibility

AI & Automation:

This is the core of how we expect marketing to evolve. Not a project. Not a pilot. A permanent shift in how the team operates.

Design and deploy AI-powered workflows - n8n, Make, or equivalent
Automate content repurposing across podcast, social, email, and blog
Build dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility without manual reporting
Automate production-to-marketing handoffs and client approval tracking
Systematically identify and eliminate manual processes from the marketing function

Team Leadership & Accountability:

You will lead a team of experienced marketing professionals and take full ownership of how they deliver. The founder should never have to chase an update or wonder what the team is working on.

Set clear priorities, run tight delivery cadences, and hold the team to them
Provide weekly reporting to the founder - short, clear, numbers-driven
Manage contractors, agencies, and external vendors
Oversee website, brand assets, decks, client materials, and merch
Oversee community management in coordination with community leads
Manage onboarding for new team members and contractors

Devoted Speakeasy Podcast:

Devoted Speakeasy is one of the industry's most respected voices in GameDev. It has a loyal audience and a strong identity. Your job is to protect that and keep it sharp, not to turn it into a marketing funnel.

Maintain editorial quality and brand consistency
Oversee guest pipeline and production cadence
Ensure podcast content gets properly amplified across other channels
Keep the tone and positioning true to what makes Speakeasy worth listening to

Brand & Strategic Direction:

Across everything, social, podcast, website, events, client materials, you are the guardian of the Devoted brand. High quality, consistent voice, and a clear sense of where we're going.

Evolve brand positioning in line with business growth
Maintain quality standards across all external-facing touchpoints
Support conference presence, merch, and partnership materials
Contribute strategic thinking on where marketing can create real business impact

Requirements

10+ years in marketing, with meaningful time leading teams
You've worked closely with founders or senior leadership as a true business partner
Strong brand instinct, you know what's on-brand, what isn't, and why it matters
Highly structured and delivery-focused without being bureaucratic

Deep hands-on experience with AI and automation tools (n8n preferred)
Solid grasp of analytics, dashboards, and performance reporting
Experience managing paid channels (Google, Meta, LinkedIn) and SEO basics
Proven at managing external contractors and agencies

Nice to Have:

Background in GameDev, art production, or the broader creative industry
Experience with B2B marketplaces or talent platforms
Email marketing platform experience (Mailchimp, GetResponse, or similar)

Social is always accurate, timely, and connected to what's actually happening in the business
AI and automation have meaningfully increased output and reduced manual work
Leadership has full visibility without asking for it
The team delivers with discipline and the founder trusts the function completely
The Devoted brand continues to grow in influence and quality
