About the role
About Firstwork
Labour markets are broken. Millions of people are ready to work and can't start. Screening, right-to-work checks, contracts, onboarding and scheduling still run across disconnected systems, with hundreds of manual decisions in between. Firstwork builds AI agents that run frontline workforce operations end to end. We activate hundreds of thousands of workers a month globally for some of the world's largest employers and staffing firms, working forward-deployed inside the customer's operation. Backed by Y Combinator and Gradient (Google’s AI fund), with offices in New York, with London and Dubai opening later this year.
Why this role
Our buyers run large frontline workforces. Most of them have been sold AI once already, by someone whose product fell over the moment it met their compliance requirements. They are polite about it and they are deeply sceptical.
Which makes this a credibility problem first and an awareness problem second. Volume does nothing to this audience. Precision does. A report they can't get anywhere else. A customer story from a peer whose opinion they respect. A dinner with eight people who all have the same problem. A founder saying something specific in public rather than something safe.
You are the first marketing leader at Firstwork. The remit is global and Europe is the target market. You set the positioning, build the function, and hire against it. Research and Editorial produce the original work. Sales will tell you within a week whether any of it landed.
