About the role:

As VP of Marketing and as part of PDQ's executive leadership team, you will lead PDQ's marketing organization and help craft and execute the company's overall marketing strategy. Team culture, leadership, goal and timeline planning, budget management, and internal/external communication are integral to the daily duties associated with the role. You will operate in tandem with cross-functional teams in product, sales, revenue operations, engineering, finance, and customer success to deliver exceptional end-to-end customer experiences that translate into strong revenue growth.

Why this role matters:

PDQ has a loyal, high-intent customer base built on product-led growth, and we are now expanding into the mid-market while articulating an increasingly powerful AI-driven product story. Marketing is the engine that connects those two things: bringing the right message to the right buyers and translating product momentum into pipeline and revenue. This VP will set the strategic direction for how the world sees PDQ: defining our positioning, shaping our narrative, and building the go-to-market motion that carries us into our next stage of growth.

How you might spend your day:

• Leading Marketing Strategy: Developing and refining the overall marketing strategy, aligning it with PDQ's goals and vision, and overseeing its successful implementation across various marketing channels.
• Analyzing Data, Metrics, & Opportunities: Accountable for tracking and optimizing core SaaS metrics like CAC payback, conversion rates, and marketing-driven ARR. You will use data not just to evaluate performance, but as a diagnostic engine to spot hidden growth levers, optimize initiatives, and predict market opportunities.
• Collaborating with Cross-functional Teams: Working closely with product management, sales, and other departments to ensure seamless alignment of marketing efforts with product launches, sales strategies, and company-wide initiatives.
• Managing Marketing Teams: Providing mentorship, guidance, and support to marketing teams, fostering a collaborative, engaging, and inclusive environment.
• Nurturing Product-Led Growth (PLG): Continuous ownership of our self-serve engine—leveraging PLG methodologies to maximize user acquisition, activation, and retention, while keeping customer acquisition cost (CAC) highly efficient.
• Driving Mid-Market Expansion & AI Storytelling: Crafting and executing the marketing strategy to accelerate PDQ into the mid-market space. You will define the positioning, messaging, and funnel mechanics required to attract larger organizations, while compellingly articulating the value of PDQ's evolving product story, specifically our integration of advanced AI capabilities.
