The RoleThis is a true 0→1 marketing role. You'll own brand and content end-to-end. You set the direction, and you do the work. You'll ship LinkedIn posts, blog articles, website copy, launch campaigns, videos, social posts, and sales collateral that tell our story - and our customer's. As our first dedicated marketer, you'll work directly with the founders to define our voice and put it in front of the manufacturers we serve.
This is a seat for a maker, not just a strategist. You'll learn the manufacturing world deeply enough to write about it credibly, move fast, and use every AI tool available to punch far above your weight.
What You'll Do- Define and evolve the Forgepoint voice and category narrative across AI, software, and American manufacturing.
- Create and publish exceptional content across LinkedIn, blogs, the website, video, email, launches, and other emerging channels.
- Turn customer conversations, shop-floor visits, product releases, and measurable outcomes into credible stories, case studies, and campaigns.
- Own the editorial calendar and distribution engine; repurpose strong ideas across formats and measure what earns attention and drives pipeline.
- Build the collateral that helps sales win, including decks, one-pagers, customer stories, launch assets, and clear product messaging.
- Work directly with the founders, sales, and product; use AI, design, and video tools to move from idea to polished output quickly.
Who you are- You're a strong writer who can maintain a distinct, credible voice across formats
- You ship high-quality content fast and independently, from idea to published
- You have a sense for brand and design, and care how the work looks and reads
- You're comfortable owning the whole funnel: content, brand, and the systems around them
- You care about our mission, and you want to see the American manufacturing base get stronger
- You're excited to work in person 5 days a week in our NYC office
- You have a founder and growth mindset, and you use AI tooling obsessively to move faster and do more
Bonus points- B2B or startup marketing experience
- You've grown a brand, audience, or newsletter from scratch
- Basic design chops (Figma, Canva, or similar)
- Familiarity with industrial, technical, or otherwise "unsexy" audiences
Comp & Benefits- Base salary $120,000-$200,000 depending on level and experience, plus the opportunity to receive meaningful early-stage equity ($30,000-$70,000 per year) in Forgepoint. You'll also have great healthcare coverage, dinner provided at the office, and unlimited Celsius.
