Product Marketing Lead

We're looking for a Product Marketing Lead to tell the Goodfire story to the AI researchers, engineers, and technical leaders who are building and training AI models. This role demands a rare combination: the technical credibility to engage deeply with an audience that trains AI models, the instinct to translate complex research into accessible stories, and the strategic vision to create a new category in the AI market.

This is a foundational role where you will define how the world understands what interpretability makes possible. That means owning our messaging strategy end to end: crafting positioning and messaging, orchestrating product launches, and shaping the broader market narrative around interpretability as a critical capability for the next generation of AI.

You will need to deeply understand our research, our product, and our market - translating frontier science into compelling value propositions that resonate with Heads of AI, CTOs, and research leaders at the companies building the most important models in the world.

• Own positioning, messaging, and narrative: define how Goodfire and our platform are understood in market 
• Shape the category: establish an interpretability platform as a must-have capability in the AI stack through thought leadership, content, and strategic communications
• Drive product launches: plan and execute launches that generate awareness and pipeline, from major research milestones to new platform capabilities
• Build deep market intelligence: develop a rigorous understanding of the competitive landscape, buyer needs, and emerging use cases across verticals — and translate those insights into product and go-to-market strategy
• Create sales enablement and field materials: arm our forward-deployed team with the positioning, demos, case studies, and collateral they need to win technical buyers

• Strong ability to translate highly technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives for deeply technical audiences (researchers, ML engineers, Heads of AI).
• Strong strategic instincts and the ability to build a go-to-market playbook from scratch in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
• Experience speaking to deeply technical buyers at AI labs, frontier model companies, or research-driven organizations.
• Scrappiness, speed, and a bias toward action. You ship, measure, and iterate — not deck-build.

• Demonstrated experience owning product marketing end-to-end at an infrastructure, developer tools, or AI company - from positioning through launch execution and sales enablement.
• Background as an early marketing hire at a high-growth startup, or experience building a product marketing function from the ground up.
• Familiarity with the AI research landscape - interpretability, model training, alignment, and the broader ecosystem of labs and model developers.
• Track record of defining or shaping a new product category.

Goodfire is looking for individuals who embody our values and share our deep commitment to making interpretability accessible. We are building a team first and foremost.
