About AirOps

AirOps helps brands get found and stay found in the AI era. As the first end-to-end content engineering platform, we give marketing teams the systems to win visibility across traditional and AI search with one durable advantage: quality.

Thousands of marketers use AirOps to see how their brand shows up across the new discovery landscape, prioritize the highest-impact opportunities, and create accurate, on-brand content that earns citations from AI platforms and trust from humans. We are building the platform and profession that will equip a million marketers to lead the next chapter of marketing, where creativity and intelligent systems work together and quality becomes the strategy that lasts.

AirOps is backed by Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, Founder Collective, XFund, Village Global, Alt Capital, and more than a dozen top marketing leaders, with hubs in San Francisco, New York, and Montevideo.

About The Role

We’re hiring our VP of Marketing to own the public stage as we define and win the emerging category of AI Search. You'll have a driver seat in shaping the conversation with CMOs, founders, and growth leaders about this emerging channel and the new stack and skillsets needed to win.

You’ll build an AI-native marketing team (current team is 5pp) that embeds quality and precision into the operating system of our entire GTM.

And you’ll be our chief storyteller, creating narratives that resonate in boardrooms, on main stages, across media, and in the way our customers redefine their careers with AirOps at the center.

What You'll Own

• Category Creation & Evangelism: Establish AirOps as the defining company in this new category and serve as a public-facing pillar of our story: speaking at events, building executive-level relationships, and driving thought leadership around AI search.
• Storytelling at Scale: Architect a storytelling engine that converts complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives that scale across channels, from keynote talks and customer roundtables to viral LinkedIn threads and product launches.
• Product Marketing: Partner with Product and Sales to launch new offerings, sharpen positioning, and enable GTM teams.
• Brand: Build a brand that feels inevitable to win, yet welcoming and trustworthy to enterprise CMOs and startup growth leaders alike.
• Community: accelerate the movement we're creating around content engineering, expanding the tent for a whole new class of marketers.
• An AI-Native Marketing Team: Build a team that sets new standards for the adoption, creative application, and revenue impact of AI within marketing
