Director of Marketing

About OpenMined

OpenMined is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation that brings together leading minds in AI, security, and privacy technology to develop open-source solutions that transform how data can be accessed and shared. Founded in 2017, we’ve grown into a global community of over 18,000 members working to ensure that privacy protection and AI innovation reinforce each other rather than undermine one another. We are driven by a simple challenge: the most valuable data for solving humanity’s greatest challenges remains locked away due to privacy concerns, and we can change that through technology rather than compromise.

About the Role

We're hiring OpenMined's first Director of Marketing. OpenMined is a nonprofit building open-source infrastructure for federated AI. Our next challenge is adoption. We need developers and researchers to understand what we've built, try it, and build on it.

In your first year, much of that work centers on ScreamingFace, a new, separately branded AI benchmarking product that allows users to publish state-of-the-art results on public leaderboards. You'll own how those launches reach developers and researchers, write launch-specific content, run the marketing scorecard, and build a team of staff and vendors that lets marketing scale.

You'll report to Lacey Strahm, VP of Growth & Impact, and work closely with our Executive Director, Andrew Trask, whose channels reach hundreds of thousands of developers, researchers and policymakers.

This is a fully remote role for people based in the United States, working in the US Eastern or Central time zone. New York is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Lead launches for ScreamingFace product releases, leaderboard results and researcher programs, with support from Product.
• Write launch posts, technical explainers, emails and social content for developer and research audiences, and edit work from contractors and researchers.
• Turn technical work into clear, accurate messaging without over-claiming.
• Reuse and distribute the Executive Director's content for developer audiences, using a shared content calendar with Strategic Communications.
• Set targets for reach, subscriptions, sign-ups and researcher adoption, and use them to steer weekly work.
• Run the marketing operating rhythm, including weekly scorecard review, launch calendar and vendor check-ins.
• Scope and manage our marketing agencies and contractors (digital, newsletter, content, developer relations).
• Work with our existing website, CRM and analytics systems so they support every launch.

Must-Haves

• Led marketing for an open-source, developer-tools, AI infrastructure or technically deep research organization, with developers or researchers as the main audience.
• Has written popular technical posts or tutorials, or run the writers or ghostwriters who did, and can show how readers responded.
• Has been a software engineer, professional data scientist, or has a technical degree.
• Has owned growth targets (sign-ups, MQLs, conversion) and a marketing scorecard, with results you can point to.
• Has managed several agencies or contractors at once through to shipped results.
• Grew a marketing function from one person plus agencies into a small team.
• Has taken a new product from zero to one at a startup or small organization.

Preferred

• Launched benchmark results, leaderboards, model releases or SDKs.
• Worked alongside a high-profile founder and turned their reach into growth.
• Familiarity with AI safety, privacy-enhancing technologies or open-source foundations.
• HubSpot experience.
• An existing network in the AI research or open-source community.

Compensation

• Salary Range: $139,000 - $245,000 per year.
• Actual offers will be determined based on the candidate's skills, level of experience, and location.

Benefits

• Mission-Driven Work: Be part of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, focused on social impact rather than profit, offering the chance to make a meaningful difference in the world.
• US employee benefits: Medical, dental, and vision insurance with company contributions; Retirement: 403(b) plan, the 401(k) equivalent for non-profits
• Open Source Contribution: Make a real impact by contributing to an Open Source project that benefits a broad community.
• Collaborative Global Team: Join a dynamic, international team that values collaboration and diversity.
