About the Role
As the Director of Marketing, reporting to the COO, you will lead and scale PartySlate’s marketing function across product marketing, demand generation, brand, content, social, and events. This role is pivotal in shaping how we bring our products to market and fuel growth in both our SaaS and marketplace businesses.
We are looking for a marketing generalist with product marketing experience. Your focus will be 50% product marketing, 25% demand generation/growth, and 25% brand, content, social, and events. You’ll partner closely with Product, Sales, and Customer Success to define our value propositions, execute go-to-market strategies, and deliver campaigns that drive pipeline and adoption. You’ll manage a team of two and will be instrumental in building out the marketing team as the company grows.
We’re looking for a marketing leader who is both strategic and hands-on: someone who can craft positioning and messaging, analyze funnel metrics, and jump in to create content or optimize campaigns. Ideally, you are fluent in using AI tools for analysis, content generation, and campaign optimization, and eager to continue exploring how AI can transform modern marketing. If you’re energized by cross-functional collaboration, thrive in ambiguity, and want to make a big impact at a fast-growing SaaS/marketplace company, we want to hear from you.
This is a hybrid position based in Chicago. The role requires in-office presence two days per week at our Chicago office, with the flexibility to work remotely on the remaining days.
The base salary range for this role is $120,000 to $150,000, exclusive of bonus, equity, and other potential compensation.
