Marketing Strategy & Planning Manager

Profound is the marketing platform for the age of AI search. The way brands reach people is being rewritten — AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode are now the answer layer between companies and their customers. We built the platform marketers use to understand, measure, and win in that world: the analytics, intelligence, and agent automation that turn AI search from a threat into a competitive advantage.

We went from 0 to a $1B valuation in 18 months. Revenue grew 100x last year. Our customers include Ramp, Figma, Spotify, Nike, Apple, AWS, Reddit, and JPMC. We are backed by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, LSVP, and Khosla Ventures — and we are moving fast enough that the people joining now are building the playbook everyone who comes after them will run.

The marketing team ships a lot at once: product launches, the Zero Click Summit, brand campaigns, research content, lifecycle programs, and the category-creation work underneath all of it. This role is the operating backbone that keeps it coherent.

You'll turn a fast, ambitious marketing org into one that operates fast and efficiently. You'll drive the planning cadence, the operating systems, and the visibility that let the team move fast without dropping things. You'll actively hunt for what's slow, broken, or duplicated, and fix it. Nothing here is a settled playbook, so you'll also co-own getting our biggest integrated launches out the door.

This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Head of Marketing. You'll work across every function on the team and directly with marketing leadership.

What You'll Own

Planning and cadence

- Run the planning process end to end: quarterly priorities, budget tracking, and headcount planning alongside the Head of Marketing

- Turn strategy into a clear, sequenced (but fluid) roadmap the whole team can see and execute against

- Own the operating rhythm - team meetings, planning sessions, retros, and the rituals that keep everyone aligned
