Gradial is the marketing operations system of work that helps marketers and creatives move from idea to execution faster. Our platform orchestrates across martech stacks, workflows, and people to automate marketing execution, cutting execution time, so marketers focus on the work only humans can do: shaping brands, understanding customers, and creating the work that moves people.
Backed by leading investors, we’re building software that adapts to the user, not the other way around. We move with urgency, operate with ownership, and solve hard problems from first principles. If you want to do ambitious work, take real responsibility, and help define the future of AI-native content operations, you’ll do your best work here.
The Role
Community is a core part of how Gradial will build lasting relationships with customers and marketing leaders. As our Head of Community, you’ll build our community strategy from the ground up and turn it into a program that delivers real value for members and measurable impact for the business.
You’ll own two flagship initiatives. The first is a thriving practitioner community for Creators, Marketers, and Marketing Technologists where members can learn from one another, share best practices, and shape the future of AI-powered marketing. The second is the Frontier CMO Council, an invitation-only community that brings together marketing executives to exchange ideas, build relationships, and influence the next generation of marketing leadership.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building from zero. You’ll define the strategy, launch programs, manage day-to-day operations, measure success, and continuously improve the member experience as our community grows.
What You’ll Own
As an AI-first company, we prioritize AI literacy as a core competency in our hiring decisions. We’re excited by candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools in their work, but during interviews we’re focused on you. This is your opportunity to show how you think, communicate, and solve problems. Over-reliance on AI-generated responses during the interview process (especially when it obscures your own voice) will result in disqualification. We want to understand your unique perspective and how you approach challenges, both with and without AI.
Gradial is dedicated to creating an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and all team members can grow. We offer competitive compensation, equity, flexible work hours, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative culture focused on learning and impact.
