We are looking for a Marketing Director with 7+ years of experience (5+ in brand/marketing) to own and evolve Vital Lyfe's brand identity as we prepare to launch the world's first truly universal portable water purification system. You will be the person who defines how Vital Lyfe is perceived by the outside world — building the marketing engine from the ground up at a seed-stage climate tech company backed by General Catalyst and Space.VC. This is a foundational leadership role with a clear path to CMO as the company scales. You must bring both a deep creative vision for brand building and the analytical rigor to track KPIs and make data-driven decisions. We need someone scrappy, independent, and excited to operate across brand, growth, partnerships, and experiential marketing simultaneously.
What will you be doing?
Vital Lyfe is a tech company redefining water autonomy through innovation — creating a new category of personal water-making technology built to scale where infrastructure can’t.
Water is the last essential resource still tied to fixed infrastructure. When grids fail or logistics stall, people wait. The world is shifting toward independence in energy, mobility, and communication — water must follow.
Vital Lyfe closes that gap. Our systems turn naturally occurring water — from coastlines, rivers, lakes, or existing tap-quality sources — into purified water on demand.
Portable. Intuitive. Reliable.
This is universal water-making without dependency. Without logistics. Without limits.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
