Founding Marketer

Perfect Venue
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/16/2026
About Us

Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant and event space revenue, but many venues are stuck using outdated, error-prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants and venues an affordable, user-friendly, event management tool to help local them compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes other event services (DJs, florists, etc).

About The Role

You'll be Perfect Venue's first dedicated marketer - a builder who can set strategy and execute it themselves. You'll be a true generalist - owning brand, demand generation, content, and product marketing, working directly with the CEO and sales team to create pipeline and craft the narrative that earns trust with hospitality operators across the country.

You'll get to take the many channels that are already working at Perfect Venue and optimize them into revenue driving machines while also running new experiments to find our next growth channels.

The role grows into a marketing leadership position as we scale to our next stage of growth.

This is an in person role, 5 days/week in our San Francisco office.

Responsibilities

  • Demand generation - Take our inbound playbook to the next level by improving our SEO, paid search, paid social, email, and events that fill our top of funnel.
  • Brand and positioning - Own Perfect Venue's voice, visual identity, and category narrative, including our AI-native story.
  • Content and thought leadership - Create content that earns authority with GMs, owners, and operators - from blog to LinkedIn to case studies.
  • Product marketing - Drive positioning, launch new features, and equip sales with messaging and collateral that converts.
  • GTM alignment - Partner tightly with sales to build sequences, outbound assets, and competitive battlecards that move deals.

Requirements

  • 2-6 years of B2B SaaS marketing experience at early stage startups, ideally at a company that went from $1M to $20M ARR
  • AI pilled - you setup Open Claw within days of it coming out and are constantly trying new approaches to leverage AI
  • Experience with Google Ads and SEO to drive demand
  • Comfortable with the full stack: HubSpot (or equivalent), paid acquisition, SEO, email automation, and social

Bonus Points

  • Experience marketing to restaurants, hotels, or venues
  • Familiarity with outbound-assisted marketing and BDR/AE team dynamics
  • Background in category creation or competitive displacement campaigns

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation including meaningful equity you’ll actually be able to use
  • Medical, vision, and dental with paid premiums for you, cost-sharing for dependents
  • Mileage get paid to dine with prospects
  • Flexible PTO & 401(k)
