Who we are
Stackdrop is a systems-driven software agency. We build the operational infrastructure companies run on, internal tools, ops cockpits, data pipelines, automations, and increasingly, AI-powered workflows. Our clients don't hire us for "websites" or "campaigns" - they hire us to redesign how their business actually works.
Now we're apply that same systems thinking to our own growth.
The role
We're looking for our first AI-Native Marketer -> a T-shaped generalist who treats marketing as a system to be engineered, not a checklist to be executed. You'll own strategy, messaging, content, outbound, and paid, and you'll do it the way we build for clients: by designing workflows, wiring up automations, and putting AI agents to work everywhere they make sense.
If "one marketer + a stack of AI assistants beats a traditional five-person team" sounds like a thesis you already believe, keep reading.
What you'll actually do
- Own the narrative. Sharpen our positioning and messaging for founders, ops leaders, and heads of engineering, informed by continuous customer research, win/loss, and a sharp POV on the competitive landscape.
- Run content like a system. Build repeatable, AI-assisted pipelines for long-form, social, newsletter, case studies, and SEO/AEO - aimed at being cited by LLMs and answer engines, not just ranked on Google. Quality gates, not slop.
- Turn the work we ship for clients into case studies, teardowns, and demo content. The raw material is already there; it needs a system around it.
- Run paid and experimental channels. LinkedIn, Meta, Google, newsletter sponsorships, podcasts, partnerships - small bets, fast reads, kill what doesn't work.
- Own CRM and lifecycle as a marketing surface - scoring, segmentation, nurture, reactivation - and treat the website as a living asset you iterate on constantly.
- Build the growth stack. Stitch together n8n / Retool / CRM / analytics so our own go-to-market runs on the same kind of infrastructure we ship to clients.
- Build internal AI agents and assistants for research, drafting, briefing, and QA, and maintain a shared library of prompts, skills, and workflows the whole team can reuse.
- Measure everything. Pipeline, CAC, attribution, content and channel ROI - build the dashboards yourself and run monthly growth reviews on what we learned, what we're killing, and what we're doubling down on.
Who you are
- You're a generalist with a spike. Deep in at least one of content, outbound, paid, or lifecycle - and competent across the rest.
- You're AI-native, not AI-curious. Claude, GPT, embeddings, memory, harnesses, agent frameworks - these are muscle memory, and you've built real workflows with them, not just one-off prompts.
- You think in systems and funnels, not campaigns.
- You can write - clearly, with a point of view, and without defaulting to LinkedIn mush.
- You're technically fluent. Comfortable reading APIs and docs; can scope "can we automate this?" without an engineer. Basic SQL and light JS/Python is a plus - enough to be dangerous in Retool or n8n.
- You understand how data flows between systems - CRM, warehouse, product, and ad platforms.
- You have taste. You can brief design, judge output, and ship clean-looking work without a full-time designer on day one.
- You're an operator. You've built something from zero - a newsletter, a side project, an agency function, a community.
- You're allergic to vanity metrics. You care about pipeline, closed revenue, and payback.
- You're low-ego, high-ownership. No one is going to hand you a brief.
- You work well async, write clear docs, and leave a trail.
Bonus points
- You've worked at or with a software / dev agency, studio, or productized service business.
- You've sold into technical buyers, ops, RevOps, or engineering leaders.
- You've built or contributed to an open-source project, community, or popular newsletter.
- You've shipped an AI agent or automation that's still running in production somewhere.
What this role is not
- Not a content marketer who only writes blog posts.
- Not a demand-gen manager who lives in HubSpot reports.
- Not a brand marketer who needs a team of five to execute.
- Not someone looking to manage people in year one.
Why this role is different
- Real budget for tools, experiments, agents and the autonomy to use it.
- A team that builds the same stuff you want to automate. When you hit the edge of what off-the-shelf tools can do, we'll build the missing piece with you.
- We treat marketing as a product. Ship, measure, iterate.
- Clear path to head of growth as Stackdrop scales.
