NODA AI is a Veteran-owned, venture-backed technology company that is transforming how unmanned systems collaborate in complex, mission-critical environments. We are developing next-generation solutions that enable the autonomous orchestration of heterogeneous unmanned systems across air, sea, land, and space with vital applications in the Defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors.

Our marketing organization plays a critical role in shaping how our company, technology, and vision are understood across the defense ecosystem. We are building a function that moves with the business, aligning corporate strategy, business development priorities, product innovation, and market engagement to accelerate growth.

Joining NODA means working on meaningful technology that pushes the boundaries of autonomy alongside a team that thrives on innovation, rapid iteration, and collaboration.

We are seeking a Senior Integrated Marketing Manager to serve as the strategic integrator between NODA's corporate objectives and marketing execution.

Your work will span strategic communications, integrated marketing, content, digital marketing, advertising, public relations, executive visibility, events, and sales enablement. Every initiative you own will tell a consistent story and advance the company's business objectives.

Success in this role requires exceptional judgment and adaptability.
