Head of Corporate Marketing

SambaNova is looking for a Head of Corporate Marketing (Senior Director or VP-level) to build and lead the corporate marketing function within a broader marketing organization led by the CMO. This is a rare opportunity to shape the brand, creative, web, content, and event presence of one of the most important independent players in AI infrastructure — at a moment when the market is actively re-evaluating what comes after GPUs.

You will own corporate brand identity, website and digital presence, content creation, creative services, and large-scale corporate and industry events, while partnering closely with product marketing, demand generation, developer relations, and the CMO to make sure every external touchpoint — website, events, content, creative, executive platform — reinforces a single, sharp story about why SambaNova and our AI inference architecture matter.

The right candidate has run corporate or brand marketing at some scale inside a fast-moving tech company, is comfortable being the connective tissue between the CMO's vision and the company's go-to-market motion, and knows how to build a team and function from a solid but still-forming base.

Responsibilities

• Own SambaNova's overall brand strategy, brand identity, and positioning across all external channels.
• Own all creative services, ensuring visual and verbal consistency across web, events, campaigns, and content.
• Own SambaNova's website and web presence, including SEO/AEO strategy, to strengthen discoverability and digital credibility.
• Own content creation and production — including thought leadership, POV/POC content, and the company blog — executing against direction set by the CMO to reinforce a single, sharp narrative.
• Own corporate and large-scale third-party industry events, setting the strategy and ensuring flawless execution for major launches, conferences, and keynotes.
• Serve as a close partner to the CMO, translating brand and content strategy into flawless execution across all channels.
• Lead integrated brand marketing campaigns that tie together brand, product launches, events, and demand generation into one coherent story.
• Build, mentor, and scale a corporate marketing team, while working cross-functionally with product marketing, DevRel, Sales, and field teams.
• Manage relationships with outside creative and event agencies to keep execution high-quality and on-brand.
• Bring structure and rigor to marketing operations — planning, budgeting, and measuring the impact of brand, creative, and content investment.
• Represent the company externally as a credible technical and business spokesperson when needed.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years in corporate marketing, brand, or creative leadership, with at least 2-3 years in a senior leadership role (Senior Director, Head of, or VP level).
• Direct experience building or scaling a marketing function inside a high-growth technology company — infrastructure, semiconductors, cloud, or enterprise AI strongly preferred.
• Track record of shaping company narrative and brand at an inflection point (new category, major launch, funding milestone, or public-market transition).
• Strong executive presence and experience acting as a strategic partner to a CMO or senior marketing leader.
• Deep familiarity with what it takes to build brand credibility and trust in a technical, skeptical market.
• Hands-on experience owning a website, SEO/AEO, and digital brand presence.
• Proven people-leadership skills — has built and run teams, not just functions.
• Comfortable operating with startup speed and ambiguity while still bringing enterprise-grade marketing discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience marketing chips, accelerators, datacenter hardware, or AI/ML infrastructure.
• Experience owning or elevating a company's presence at major industry events (e.g., Nvidia GTC, AWS re:Invent, Web Summit).
• Experience directing content strategy — thought leadership, POV/POC content, and blog — in a technical category.
• Experience marketing through a major company milestone (IPO, large funding round, high-profile acquisition, category creation).
• Public-facing credibility of their own (interviews, panels, bylines, podcast appearances).
• Bay Area-based or willing to work closely and in-person with the CMO and marketing leadership team.
