Full Job Description
About the Role

You own how the market understands Perfect Venue and how much pipeline shows up because of it. This is a hands-on role. You will write the copy, build the campaign, and pull the reports yourself and use AI at every step of the way. We work with several agencies across performance, content, and design. You will own those relationships: the scope, the budget, and the quality bar.

This role is based in San Francisco, in office 5 days per week. We want you here for the founder, sales, and customer conversations that happen in person.

What You'll Own

Demand Generation
  • Own the inbound pipeline number. Build the engine across paid search, paid social, retargeting, events, and partnerships, and know the CAC, payback, and conversion rate of every channel in it.
  • Work as one motion with our BDR, inside sales, and account management teams. Marketing here is measured in qualified pipeline and closed revenue, not in just leads delivered.

Lifecycle
  • Own the journey from first touch to closed won and beyond. Nurture, onboarding, trial conversion, reactivation, and expansion campaigns that give account management a reason to reach out.
  • Build the segmentation and triggers in HubSpot so the right message reaches the right venue at the right moment, without a person queuing it up.

Content and SEO
  • Run a content engine that ranks, gets shared, and gives our reps a reason to reach out. Blog, video, customer stories, and the site itself.
  • Own organic search as a durable channel, not a side effect. Topic strategy, site architecture, and the pages that compound over years.

Brand and Social
  • Sharpen why a venue should pick Perfect Venue over the incumbent, and make that argument consistent across the website, the sales deck, and the first call.
  • Run our presence where hospitality operators actually spend time. Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, industry associations, and the conferences where event directors compare notes.

Marketing Operations and Analytics
  • Own the stack and the numbers. Attribution in HubSpot the sales team believes, clean reporting from spend to closed revenue, and a weekly view of what is working.
  • Use AI to run more experiments per quarter than a team twice this size, and kill the ones that do not pay.
Who You Are
Essentials
  • Founder or early-stage startup GTM experience.
  • Extremely analytical with an ability to dive into messy problems and find solutions.
  • Strong judgement to manage our agencies outputs.
Nice to Have
  • Restaurant, hotel, or hospitality tech experience.
  • SMB and mid-market motion with both self-serve and sales-assisted paths.
  • Experience marketing against an entrenched incumbent.
  • HubSpot experience.
What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation including meaningful equity you'll actually be able to use
  • Medical, vision, and dental with paid premiums for you, cost-sharing for dependents
  • Flexible PTO & 401(k)
  • Daily lunches when onsite
  • Unlimited book budget
  • Company laptop
  • Complimentary One Medical membership for you and your family
