About Tavus
Tavus is a research company focused on building AI systems that enable real-time, human-like interaction between people and machines. Its technology combines multimodal perception, generation, and low-latency infrastructure to support conversational video interfaces.
The company is backed by investors including Sequoia Capital, Y Combinator, and Scale Venture Partners.
The Role
Tavus is hiring a founding marketer to lead brand, product marketing, and category development.
This role sits outside a traditional marketing structure and reports directly to the founder. The successful candidate will own narrative development, content creation, and distribution end-to-end.
Key responsibilities include:
- Developing and maintaining core company and product narratives
- Translating technical concepts into clear, externally facing messaging
- Creating high-quality content across formats (written, video, demos, launches)
- Supporting frequent product launches (weekly cadence) with structured messaging and assets
- Owning and evolving brand positioning across website, product, and external channels
- Driving distribution through organic, social, and PR channels
- Contributing to category definition in an emerging market
Candidate Profile
The role is open to candidates across a range of seniority (typically 4+ years’ experience), with a focus on demonstrated execution capability.
Two common profiles are expected:
Narrative / Creative Focus
- Strong ability to develop clear, compelling messaging from complex inputs
- High attention to detail across writing, visual output, and overall brand
