About the role
Who We Are: Materialize is the context engine for AI agents and applications. It lets engineering teams use SQL to transform siloed operational data into up-to-the-second, trustworthy views into any element of their business. Use Materialize to deliver fresh context to AI agents, power data-intensive UIs, and create low-latency, event-driven architectures that drive microservices and core business processes. Materialize is trusted by General Mills, Bilt Rewards, and Crane Worldwide Logistics to solve their most pressing operational data challenges while building a live data foundation for their AI transformation. Our team spans the US (with a NYC headquarters), Canada, and EMEA. Investors: Kleiner Perkins, Redpoint Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners. ROLE OVERVIEW Materialize is looking for a hands-on Senior Marketing Manager to scale our marketing function, with field marketing as the primary motion. This is a high impact role: you'll shape marketing strategy and drive execution, working closely with the CEO, Sales, and Product, in support of Materialize's top-down enterprise sales motion for data infrastructure. You'll plan and run events, distribute content across our website, social channels, and newsletter, and get customers on stage and in front of our sales team. Product Marketing owns most of our content; you'll own how and where it reaches the world. This opportunity is for someone who wants outsized responsibility at a fast-growing company and who is energized by building rather than managing. You'll also connect the Materialize sales team with engineering leaders, architects, and technical decision-makers who are building context engines for AI agents and applications. A big part of this role is working directly with our customers, generating new meetings, getting their stories on paper, and getting them on stage. Our customers rely on Materialize to power AI agents and applications. We’re applying the same AI-first mindset internally, with our Marketing team using AI agents to scale research, content, outreach, and distribution.
RESPONSIBILITIES Shape and execute Materialize's end-to-end marketing strategy alongside Leadership, with field marketing as the primary motion for generating meetings with enterprise buyers. Own field marketing and events: planning and executing conferences, meetups, executive dinners, webinars, hackathons, and customer events that build real relationships and drive measurable pipeline. Invite customers to speak, co-present, and share their stories on stage. Work directly with customers like Notion, Bilt Rewards, and Crane Worldwide to source their success stories, partnering with Product Marketing to shape them into blog posts, social content, and speaking opportunities. Own distribution of Materialize's content and digital presence: website, blog, newsletter, and social channels, partnering with Product Marketing, who creates most of our content, to get it in front of the right audience at the right time. Develop and execute integrated marketing campaigns across organic, paid, partner, and lifecycle channels to drive awareness, product adoption, and qualified pipeline. Partner closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Leadership to align marketing initiatives with pipeline goals, product launches, and customer milestones. Translate company goals into measurable marketing plans with clear KPIs, metrics, dashboards, and reporting across awareness, pipeline generation, product adoption, and revenue impact. Continuously experiment, measure, and optimize marketing performance to maximize business impact, while identifying new opportunities to grow Materialize's brand through speaking opportunities, partnerships, podcasts, analyst relations, and technical publications.
