The Opportunity
We're looking for an unusually creative, resourceful, AI-native builder who loves experimenting, moves incredibly fast, and knows how to turn ideas into action. Your mission: Make the right people discover Akroni, become curious about us, and reach out. We don't want someone to execute a traditional marketing playbook. We want someone who invents new approaches, tests relentlessly, and discovers what actually works. Think dozens of experiments, not months of campaign planning. Why Akroni? You'll work with a small, ambitious team, enjoy significant creative freedom, and have the opportunity to experiment without traditional corporate marketing constraints. We don't care whether your breakthrough comes from a brilliant technical explainer, an absurd AI-generated video, an interactive experience, or something completely unexpected. We care that you thought of it, built it, launched it, learned from it, and kept going. What We Don't Require
• Cybersecurity experience (it's a bonus). • A marketing degree or traditional marketing career. • Advanced software engineering skills. • A particular number of years of experience. • Experience with specific marketing platforms. Show us what you've built and accomplished. We value demonstrated ingenuity over credentials. Role details
• Function: GTM and Sales
• Seniority: Senior (6-10 years)
• Key skills: AI and B2B Marketing
• Headcount: 1
• Target start date: 2026-11-02
• Timezone overlap: Partial overlap is fine
Responsibilities
• North Star Goal: Generate inbound interest from target audience (CISOs, security architects, security leaders, and relevant enterprise buyers and influencers discovering Akroni and proactively expressing interest)
• Experiment velocity: Quickly and consistently ship meaningful tests
• Learning velocity: Quickly identify what works and what doesn't
• Repeatability: Discover approaches that can consistently generate interest
• Focus on meaningful awareness and inbound interest rather than vanity metrics (impressions, likes, views, followers)
• Application requirement: Provide three things created or launched, explaining inspiration, execution, results, and learnings (especially using AI, ingenuity, and limited resources)
What You'll Do
• Experiment relentlessly. Continuously conceive, build, launch, measure, and refine growth experiments.
• Ship fast. Favor rapid experimentation over polished presentations and prolonged planning.
• Use AI for everything possible. Leverage generative AI, automation, no-code tools, and emerging technology to multiply your output.
• Get creative. Test everything from AI-generated videos and provocative content to interactive tools, unconventional campaigns, community engagement, and ideas nobody has tried before.
• Build independently. Create landing pages, content, lightweight applications, and automated workflows without requiring an engineering team.
• Find what works. Measure results, kill unsuccessful experiments quickly, and double down on winners.
• Collaborate. Work closely with sales, product, and leadership to turn insights into experiments that generate awareness and inbound interest.
Must Have
• Prolific: Generate ideas constantly and actually execute them
• Wildly creative: See opportunities and approaches that others overlook
• Extremely resourceful: Find a way to make things happen, regardless of available resources
• AI-native: AI is deeply embedded in how you think, create, and execute
• Self-directed builder: Don't wait for detailed instructions; take ownership and make progress
• Comfortable failing: Willing to try ten ideas knowing that nine might fail
• Curious and adaptable: Rapidly learn new industries, technologies, and audiences
• Results-oriented: Care about measurable outcomes, not just producing activity
• Demonstrated ingenuity and track record of building/accomplishing projects (valued over formal credentials/degrees)
Nice to Have
• Cybersecurity experience (bonus)
