Founding Marketing Manager

ABOUT LEGIBLE

Legible is building AI-powered software that helps Government Affairs teams and lobbying firms operate more efficiently in an increasingly complex and fast-moving regulatory environment.

Today, teams spend countless hours manually tracking, organizing, and synthesizing critical legislative and regulatory information. The process is expensive, resource-intensive, and often imprecise. Legible changes that.

Our platform helps GA teams and lobbying organizations dramatically improve internal efficiency, reduce operational overhead, and reallocate valuable resources toward higher-impact strategic work.

We are early — but not speculative.

• ~150 customers
• Approaching $1M ARR
• Strong product-market fit
• 50%+ of new business generated through referrals
• 50%+ close rates
• Exceptional customer feedback and retention
• Excellent backing
• A large and well-capitalized market ripe for disruption

• We are now entering the next phase of growth as we prepare to launch a national product that will significantly expand our market opportunity.
• This is our first full-time marketing hire.

THE OPPORTUNITY

• This is not a traditional startup marketing role.
• We are looking for a highly driven, high-agency marketing generalist who wants the rare opportunity to help build a category-defining company from an already-validated foundation.

You will work directly with the founders and GTM team to help create leverage across the business through

• Sales enablement
• Brand building
• Event execution
• Lead generation
• Founder marketing
• Customer storytelling
• Community presence

You will not inherit a massive team or a fully built marketing engine.

You will inherit

• Real traction
• Strong PMF
• A highly engaged customer base
• Executive support
• Significant autonomy
• The ability to build something meaningful from a blank slate

• If you are looking for a role where you can simply manage vendors and attend status meetings, this is not the right fit.
• If you want the chance to build your own masterpiece alongside an ambitious team in a market that is rapidly evolving because of AI, we should talk.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

FOUNDER & BRAND AMPLIFICATION

• Manage and grow the social presence of company leadership, particularly on LinkedIn
• Help establish Legible as a trusted and visible brand within the Government Affairs and lobbying ecosystem
• Create and distribute compelling thought leadership content
• Develop customer stories, testimonials, and case studies

SALES ENABLEMENT & PIPELINE SUPPORT

• Create sales collateral and supporting GTM assets
• Partner closely with the CEO, AE, and SDR to create leverage for the sales organization
• Support outbound campaigns and follow-up sequences
• Build and manage email marketing campaigns

EVENTS & COMMUNITY

• Coordinate conferences, trade shows, webinars, and industry events
• Represent the company professionally in live environments
• Help create community engagement opportunities within our market
• Ensure Legible has a polished and credible presence across all external touchpoints

DIGITAL PRESENCE

• Own ongoing website updates and optimization
• Help shape messaging, positioning, and go-to-market communication
• Identify creative ways to increase awareness and engagement within a highly targeted market

WHO YOU ARE

• 4–6 years of experience in marketing, growth, demand generation, field marketing, startup GTM, or related roles
• Extremely high ownership and bias toward action
• Strong point of view combined with collaborative instincts
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and limited resources
• Equally comfortable thinking strategically and executing tactically
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously without losing attention to detail
• Professional and composed in live event settings

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• The sales team becomes materially more effective because of your work
• Legible’s brand presence within the market becomes noticeably stronger
• Events and webinars generate real engagement and pipeline
• Founders become more visible and influential voices within the space
• Marketing evolves from ad hoc efforts into a repeatable, scalable engine

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

This is a rare opportunity to join a company that already has strong product-market fit and real commercial traction — before the marketing machine has been built.

You’ll have the opportunity to

• Work directly with founders
• Help define the company’s voice and market presence
• Build systems from the ground up
• Make a visible impact on company growth
• Create a body of work that meaningfully accelerates your career

If Legible continues on its current trajectory, the person in this role will not just participate in the company’s growth — they will help shape it.

LOGISTICS

• In-office 4 days/week
• Fast-paced, highly collaborative environment
• High autonomy and high accountability
• Competitive compensation + equity opportunity
