We’re working exclusively with a fast‑growing deep‑tech startup building a community‑driven platform at the intersection of quantum computing, developer tools, and open‑source ecosystems.
Founded in 2023 and backed by a specialist quantum investor, the company has grown to 3,000 users and is scaling its Paris HQ team from 9 to 20 over the next 12–18 months. Their product sits at the platform layer of a once‑in‑a‑generation technology shift, giving developers a unified Python‑based workspace to build, share, and run quantum solutions across any hardware provider, wrapped in a community marketplace where algorithms, datasets, and tools are published, reused, and monetised.
Marketing today is a blank slate. This is the first marketing hire, responsible for building the function, the brand, and the community presence from the ground up.
You’ll be a strong match if you bring:
* 5+ years in tech, deep‑tech, or developer‑focused marketing.
* Experience building brand and community from near‑zero in a technical domain.
* Exceptional writing across long‑form (blogs, whitepapers) and short‑form (social, email).
* Hands‑on fluency with SEO, analytics (GA4, Mixpanel), and social media management.
* Ability to communicate quantum‑adjacent concepts credibly without hype.
* Comfort operating solo initially, with a builder’s mindset.
As the successful Head of Marketing, you will be responsible for the:
* Full marketing strategy: brand positioning, content roadmap, social, SEO, and developer relations.
* Community presence: publish technically credible, hype‑free content that resonates with developers and researchers.
* Dual‑audience messaging:
o Community: developers, researchers, open‑source contributors
o Commercial: enterprise decision‑makers evaluating quantum solutions
* Conference strategy: Q2B, IEEE Quantum Week, APS March Meeting, NeurIPS, plus CEO speaking opportunities.
* Performance KPIs: user acquisition, engagement, content reach, inbound pipeline.
* Function building: operate solo for the first 6 months, then help hire the second marketing team member.
This is a rare opportunity to:
* Build a marketing function from zero at a pivotal moment.
* Shape the brand voice of a platform in a frontier technology.
* Work directly with a senior founding team and influence the company's trajectory.
* Receive meaningful ESOP at a stage where upside is real.
This team is small, senior, and direct. You’ll thrive if you are:
* Self‑starting, comfortable creating structure where none exists.
* Feedback‑driven, able to give and receive critique kindly and immediately.
* Cross‑functional by instinct, engaging deeply with technical teams.
* Energised by deep‑tech storytelling and community‑centric marketing.
* Paris‑based or willing to be, co‑location is the default.
* Supportive of a no‑negotiation, no‑pay‑gap compensation policy.
