About the Role

Most marketing jobs are about optimizing existing campaigns. This one is about proving marketing works in the first place.

We're a 40-year-old startup in oil & gas services that's grown to become one of the largest in our space without a single marketing hire. Pure word-of-mouth, direct sales, and delivering results that speak for themselves. Now we're using AI and ML to completely transform what we do—and we're ready to see what happens when we actually tell that story.

Here's what makes this different: You won't be the junior person executing someone else's strategy. You'll be the person writing the strategy. You won't be managing campaigns for crowded markets—you'll be figuring out how to market breakthrough AI technology to people who operate billion-dollar drilling projects.

This is for someone who gets excited by blank canvases. Who sees "we've never done marketing before" as the opportunity of a lifetime, not a red flag. Who wants to learn an industry where the stakes are real, the technology is cutting-edge, and the problems are fascinating.

What You'll Build

• Our entire marketing presence from the ground up—website, messaging, content strategy, lead generation

• Campaigns that translate revolutionary AI applications into compelling business cases

• Relationships with industry publications, conference organizers, and thought leaders

• Systems that turn our technical breakthroughs into market-leading content

• Processes that actually support our sales team (instead of generating junk leads)

• A marketing function that proves its value every quarter

You Should Apply If

• You're energized by ambiguity and building from zero

• You can write clearly about complex, technical subjects

• You've managed projects with real deadlines and measurable outcomes

• You're curious about industries beyond typical tech and consumer brands

• You want to work directly with leadership and see immediate impact from your work

• You're comfortable being the expert on something you're learning as you go

• You're a self-starter who will immerse yourself in our story—past, present, and future—without needing your hand held

What You'll Get

• Complete ownership of our marketing strategy and execution

• Direct access to executives, engineers, and 40 years of industry knowledge

• Budget to test ideas, attend conferences, and build what actually works

• The chance to prove that great marketing can accelerate adoption of transformative technology

• Experience that most marketers never get: building something entirely new that actually matters

The Reality

This journey will challenge you: learning our industry, building our marketing function from scratch, and proving its worth. You'll need to be in leadership's hip pocket—asking critical questions and pushing us to clarify our vision. We'll support you, but you're driving this. If you want a role where you pioneer a function, build a legacy, and directly create results that redefine a company's growth, this is it.

Are you ready to make that kind of impact?
