Marketing Lead

About Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open source platform used by developers to build production-grade AI agents. It's an SDK and the infrastructure to run agents reliably at scale, so teams can focus on the product instead of the plumbing.

Our Cloud product is a managed service where we deploy our users' code and auto-scale from zero to millions of executions. With the rise of AI, being able to offload async tasks reliably is a key part of any developer's toolkit - we're building the infrastructure to make that a reality.

About the position

We're looking for a Marketing Lead to own growth marketing at Trigger.dev : influencer partnerships, GEO/SEO, and the bold, high-visibility campaigns that get us noticed.

Rather than spreading effort thin across five channels, we want someone who picks one or two and goes deep. You'll have real budget and autonomy to run steady channel work alongside genuine "big swing" ideas.

What you'll be doing

You'll do a variety of things including:

Owning influencer marketing beyond our existing activity, using tools like Plug.dev to find, manage, and measure partnerships

Driving GEO/SEO strategy and execution

Planning and executing high-impact "big swing" campaigns - think an SF billboard, or premium merch sends to YC founders - with real budget behind them

Running narrow, targeted paid spend (e.g. a small daily budget tied to a free tool) where it supports a wider campaign, kept deliberately focused rather than broadents attended, video of any talks given, and a written recap of who you met

Requirements

You really need to have:

Experience running influencer marketing campaigns end-to-end, from outreach through to measurement

A track record in GEO/SEO or organic growth channels

Comfort pitching and executing bold, unconventional campaign ideas - not just optimizing an existing playbook

The ability to work with real budget and ownership, prioritizing depth on a couple of channels over breadth

If you are remote you must be within CET to ET timezones (GMT+1:00 to GMT-5:00). We will arrange in-person events throughout the year

You'll be an amazing fit if you:

Experience at an early-stage startup where you were marketing's first or only hire

A portfolio of "big swing" campaigns you can point to

Familiarity with tools like Plug.dev or similar influencer marketplace platforms

Previously worked in developer tools or on a technical/developer-facing product

If you're based in the UK and you are able to join the team in London

Have a social media presence
