Web3 Head of Marketing

About the job

Gauntlet is DeFi’s risk manager. We drive capital efficiency while maintaining economic safety for some of the largest crypto protocols with our cutting-edge simulations. Gauntlet manages risk and incentives for over $40 Billion in assets.

Gauntlet continuously publishes cutting-edge research, making us the most cited in peer-reviewed articles in the Defi industry. We’re a Series B company with 40 employees operating remote-first but primarily in New York City.

The Head of Marketing role will join the Gauntlet team to lead the development and execution of our marketing strategy. This person will have the scope to build a team from scratch, define our brand identity, and build the systems we need to communicate our value to a broader audience and engage our already very healthy waitlist of customers wanting to onboard and use our product.

This role will report directly to the VP of Growth and will partner closely with the leadership team. While we celebrate a diverse set of experience and background – subject matter expertise in Product Marketing, Growth, and/or Brand is highly desirable, and experience leading high-performing and engaged teams is essential.

In this role your initial challenge will be to define our company's positioning and translate the complex offering into a more digestible and compelling format, we will then need to build an engagement strategy (for you to define) to create value and maintain interest in our long pipeline of waitlisted customers. Said differently, our product market fit is exceptional, and now we need to build an enduring and trusted brand around it.

If you’re excited to contribute directly to the development of the Web 3/DeFi ecosystem and join a mission-driven company that is defining security in the space we’d love to chat.
